Dependant on PD-CAGov, which is unused. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:27, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Yes, it is dependent on PD-CAGov, which is currently unused, but PD-CAGov is still valid and applicable to many things out there currently incorrectly tagged as unfree, and may be used again at any time (see its entry below in this TfD). This notice template is also quite useful and often necessary when using PD-CAGov, since many patrollers automatically assume anything that is not a work of the U.S. Federal government cannot be public domain. This template is very good for preventing the incorrect nomination of many free files, valid under PD-CAGov, for PUF or other deletions. Darkest Tree Talk 16:34, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unused in file namespace. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:26, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This template is only unused on namespace because it was used extensively to successfully liberate many free California-government-based images, seals, and logos, which had been originally tagged as unfree, and after the image licensing was corrected on these free images (many done by myself), the files were then moved to Commons by other users (I can't do everything myself, after all). There are still many other free California-government-based images out there tagged as unfree, to which this template would apply. It is a very useful template, and very important to Wikipedia in enabling the use of free image content. Please keep. Keeping will also save myself and others the trouble of recreating it when it is needed again. Darkest Tree Talk 16:30, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep: As Darkest Tree mentioned, this copyright tag is in use on 1,450 pages on Commons; the files just don't stay on English Wikipedia long because they get moved. Like the other copyright/PD tags that are shared between English Wikipedia and Commons, this tag should stay even when no English Wikipedia files are tagged at the moment; there is no good equivalent substitute tag for this license condition when these files are uploaded or discovered. (And Darkest Tree above says there are probably lots more tagged as fair-use that should be switched to this free tag instead.) --Closeapple (talk) 17:20, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Replace all uses with ((Wikispecies-inline)) Primefac (talk) 22:05, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do we need this? It has 28 transclusions. ((Wikispecies)) has 40634 transclusions and produces a link to Wikispecies in a bigger box. ((Wikispecies-inline)) has 5783 transclusions and produces a unboxed (and thus occopying slightly less screen real estate) link to Wikispecies. Wikispecies pages are automatically linked via Wikidata in the sidebar anyway. I'm not sure that any of the templates that provide links to Wikispecies are particularly useful since Wikidata started providing the links to other Wikimedia projects. Surely articles using this template could at least be switched to using the more frequently used ((Wikispecies-inline)) template. Plantdrew (talk) 04:57, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all - I'd agree with Plantdrew that ALL the Wikispecies templates are now redundant to the sidebar, which is always in the same place too, reliable and ideal for navigation. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:33, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
