(Many are also trash that need to be taken out, like this particular one.) One week isn't really enough time to examine all of these, since most of us have lives and jobs, and going through all this is a slow and tedious process.

  • Delete per WP:EL and WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. While we could certainly have a template like this at the national level, that linked to an article on official "patrimonial value" sites, if this were comparable to things like the US Register of Historic Places, etc., there's no encyclopedic value in what some local municipality is labeling this way.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, and fix the infoboxes. The earlier TfD cited (which was clearly a keep, no matter what the closer said) is correct: It's the infoboxes that are inappropriately trying to act as navboxes, not the other way around. We would never, ever tolerate that level of piled up nav material in an infobox anywhere else, so it shouldn't be done for Olympics articles, either. The nav content in the infoboxes needs to move to navboxes modeled on this one and the US one in the earlier TfD.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:37, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Just to be super-clear, the comments here are from this TFD, where Template:PetScan was the only template nominated.

The template still serves a purpose in making it much easier to link to PetScan queries. Formatting links with this template means that if the tool changes location or format, the queries can be updated just by updating this template (like I did just a few days ago!). Additionally, the template doesn't violate any of the WP:TG guidelines, nor does it meet any of WP:TFD#REASONS (current low-usage is not unused, and not an indication of potential future uses), so I don't see any reason to delete, or benefit from deleting, this now functional template. - Evad37 [ talk 02:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. We really need to speed up the process of dealing with templates marked "deprecated", which people seem to think means "continue using it until forced to stop".  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:11, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per WP:EL and WP:NOT#INDISCRIMINATE. While we could certainly have a template like this at the national level, that linked to an article on official "patrimonial value" sites, if this were comparable to things like the US Register of Historic Places, etc., there's no encyclopedic value in what some local municipality is labeling this way.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Delete since it's all redlinks now. Wise move, too. Individual players might be notable, but one-off teams they form for a regional competition cannot be (absent something really unusual, like a whole team being electrocuted in a swimming pool or whatever, and becoming notable for something other than being a one-off regional competition sports team).  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:20, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, and fix the infoboxes. The earlier TfD cited (which was clearly a keep, no matter what the closer said) is correct: It's the infoboxes that are inappropriately trying to act as navboxes, not the other way around. We would never, ever tolerate that level of piled up nav material in an infobox anywhere else, so it shouldn't be done for Olympics articles, either. The nav content in the infoboxes needs to move to navboxes modeled on this one and the US one in the earlier TfD.  —  SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  04:37, 28 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Similar templates both linking to PetScan queries (PetScan previously known as CatScan). WP:IAR / WP:NOTBUREAU relisting of Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2016_August_13#Template:Catscan2. - Evad37 [ talk 00:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC) reply

Just to be super-clear, the comments here are from this TFD, where Template:PetScan was the only template nominated. That TFD was a relisting of this TFD, which again only had the single template nominated (as Template:Catscan2, before this move to Template:PetScan to match the updated tool's name). - Evad37 [ talk 23:11, 26 August 2016 (UTC) reply

The template still serves a purpose in making it much easier to link to PetScan queries. Formatting links with this template means that if the tool changes location or format, the queries can be updated just by updating this template (like I did just a few days ago!). Additionally, the template doesn't violate any of the WP:TG guidelines, nor does it meet any of WP:TFD#REASONS (current low-usage is not unused, and not an indication of potential future uses), so I don't see any reason to delete, or benefit from deleting, this now functional template. - Evad37 [ talk 02:00, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply
I've found a similar template {{ Catscan}}, so I'm changing my !vote to merge that template into {{ PetScan}} (which will result in about 35 transclusions) - Evad37 [ talk 10:44, 14 August 2016 (UTC) reply
