This page is for deleting things in the [[Wikipedia:Template namespace|Template namespace]], which is used for reusable boilerplate messages and article series boxes. Deletion of these may be appropriate if the template:
 
I can donate my liver, I only need one.
* is not helpful or noteworthy;
* is redundant with other templates
* is unused.
* in some cases, if the template is used for inclusion within other templates - see [[Wikipedia:Avoid using meta-templates]]

This Wiki aint '''big''' enough for the x of us
If you vote, please ''give a reason'' how it either does or does not fulfill these criteria. Comments such as "I like it," or "I find it useful," while potentially true, generally do not fulfill this requirement. It also helps if you '''Bold''' your vote.
 
Neat icons with jewish mother rollovers, love it:
In addition to voting "'''Keep'''" or "'''Delete'''," a valid vote on this page is "'''Convert to category'''". In this case, all pages with the template should be added to an appropriately named category, and then the template should be deleted. You could also vote to '''Redirect''' to another template (usually more popular or with a better title). Sometimes an opinion will be to keep the template but fix some perceived problems with it, so some people add "'''Rewrite'''" or "'''Retitle'''" to their comments. Also, some people will specify '''Userfy''', which means to move to a User's subpage.
No line break thingy, though.<br>

So here's a great feature:
Templates listed on this page do not need to be orphans prior to listing, and in fact should not be removed from pages prior to listing. However, templates must be removed from all pages prior to deletion. Currently, this can only be done manually.

'''''For clarity, this message should be added inside the box where applicable.''''' When being added to templates which have already been blanked, and are just sitting around as blanks, the message should be added to the template talk page.

Templates that have been listed for more than five days are eligible for deletion if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to its deletion have been raised (disputed- see talk). Such templates should be dealt with as soon as possible.

*'''Keep.''' It is phrased in a non-offensive way and it serves to make clear that an article can be limited in scope. I don't see what's POV here, let alone what's offensive. I've never seen it being slapped on brand new articles; it has done good work in making editors aware of the fact that many seemingly well-developed articles still can have large gaps. Just an hour ago (before this TFD nomination) I added it to [[Beekeeping]], which is actually a rather nice article, but which unfortunately overlooks the history of bee-keeping and the phenomenon of bee-keeping in the non-Western world. Also, I fail to see why the inherent systemic bias of Wikipedia would be an 'unsupported contention'. I'm working in the field of African languages and linguistics. I could create and expand lots of articles every day, week after week, on subjects in that area that absolutely need to be covered by any encyclopedia.

*There has been claims by users on here that there is some type of geographical bias on here, that many articles are slanted in a American/English/Aussie/Canadian point of view.

In fact, the articles look generally well written, properly wikified, referenced even &mdash; but the limitedgeographicscope tag is there to point out that the articles give the impression that the subject only occurs in, or is only relevant to, the United States or the Western world. This is important to point out, because sometimes editors are not sufficiently aware that they are writing for a much larger audience than the States or the broader Western world (cf.

Barely in use, and redundant with [[Template:Protected]] and [[Template:Tfd]] respectively. The creator believes in smaller versions of existing templates.

* I ([[User:metaeducation]]) made this template because there's crazy duplication between the homestar runner wiki and the wikipedia. I've outlined issues in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Hrwiki]], which it seems no one voting here has read. I think that keeping it as a template rather than a simple link is ideal, if for no other reason than to provide a placeholder for discussion about how to distribute the work between the two efforts. Whether the template renders fancy or not is part of the question of how relevant it is to guide people toward the site. If there is something HRwiki has to do in order to become a sister project, can we investigate that process? I'm going ahead and demoting it to a less-obtrusive form now that the discussion is started, but please think of how to outline a policy for content distribution and where to outline the policy. The template seems like a good place to start. (P.S. seriously, how many of the above people read the talk page for the template before weighing in on its deletion? doesn't that seem like a MINIMAL pre-requisite to voting, so that the problem that the template is attempting to address may at least be considered?)
