Template:Euro-dollar (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• subst and delete One-use template. Unlikely to be transcluded elsewhere. The numbers in the sibling table on United States dollar are reciprocals. — ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:12, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
• subst and delete ditto. --Red King (talk) 21:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Euro (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

• subst and delete One-use infobox template instance.

Note: the template had completely different contents at the time of two previous TFDs.

1. Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 May 23#Template:Euro: € (yes, the template had one character)
2. Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 December 30#Template:Euro: [[Image:Euro symbol black.svg|9px]] →

So speedy doesn't apply.— ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:54, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Keep, at least until I understand what's going to happen with the info in this box. Or maybe my question is, what does subst precisely mean? -- Iterator12n ^Talk 19:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

subst means replacing {{Template:Euro}} on euro with the content of the template to be deleted. Besides copying and pasting, one can use {{subst:Template:Euro}} on euro. And after saving, the line is magically replaced by the content. I believe this is appropriate in this case since the template is used only in one article. See Wikipedia:Template substitution about subst. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 19:18, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete, per explanation of subst. Thanks ChoChopk, still learning the template stuff. -- Iterator12n ^Talk 19:29, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete, Agreed if the template is used only once a simple subst and delete seems fair. §tepshep • ¡Talk to me! 21:04, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Cant we use one template for all currencies? _{WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN} ^{aka john lennon} 21:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, we have Template:Infobox Currency for this, and Template:Euro is derived from Template:Infobox Currency. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 01:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Subst and Delete (but don't replace with Template:Infobox Currency as this is only suitable for single-nation currencies. --Red King (talk) 21:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:New World Order (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This template is for a wrestling stable that isn't around anymore. It's not useful, as there is no other stables that have templates. RobJ1981 (talk) 15:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete - The big problems I have with this are the layout (initials are use for some wrestlers, last names are used for some, and full names are used for the rest) and the fact that it's nowhere near complete (15 wrestlers are listed, although between the first incarnation and nWo Japan alone, there were 36 members). Even if the template was complete, though, it wouldn't be useful because there were 11 different versions of this group and way too many members for a helpful template. GaryColemanFan (talk) 16:16, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete - As cruft. If we start creating templates for every wrestling stable, some wrestlers pages will be nothing but templates, as many, especially durring the ill fated stable wars were always in one stable or another. LessThanClippers 19:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Delete unmaintainable and unneccesary. -- RoninBK _{T C} 05:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Template:Pound-force‎ (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Template:Pound avoirdupois (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Template:Fluid ounce (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Template:Inch (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

None of the above are used in the main space. They are all redundant to {{convert}} & other templates in the category. They are poorly named: no indication of what they convert to, no indication that they are conversion templates at all; the last [Fluid ounce] is also ambiguious (imperial or US). Jɪmp 15:43, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Delete. Superseded by {{convert}}. —MJCdetroit ^(yak) 03:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:Mph (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

{{mph}} along with its subpages {{mph/doc}} & {{mph/rnd}} can be deleted too for the same reason. Jɪmp 07:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC) Seperate listing Jɪmp 07:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Redundant Template, see Template:Metal Gear. — Strongsauce (talk) 06:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

• Support per nom. The info in all 4 templates is covered well by {{Metal Gear}}. JPG-GR (talk) 21:37, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
• Support per nom. These templates exist directly alongside the existing MG template in the pages in question, which is redundency of the highest order. Hyperspacey (talk) 21:21, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
