The result of the discussion was '''keep'''.&nbsp;[[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 21:27, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

====[[Module:RfD]]====

:{{pagelinks|Module:RfD}}

This module is entirely unused, and actually is incorrect in many ways. The way to list something at [[WP:RFD]] is to list it at [[WP:RFD]], and the regulars of which I am one are very forgiving if people make some techinical mistake, we take things on sentiment and then go and check the facts, we don't go on whether you're a kestrel or a knave. There is simply no need for this and it is ''getting in the way'' because it was created by someone who has never been at [[WP:RFD]], never sought consensus for it to be created. Entirely unnecessary and blocking searches by its presence. [[User:SimonTrew|Si Trew]] ([[User talk:SimonTrew|talk]]) 21:07, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Absolutely nothing the nominator said is true. As you can see at [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Module:RfD]], it is not unused. The proper way to list something at [[WP:RFD]] is not merely to add it to that page, as it is required that users using the redirect are aware of its nomination. What is it getting in the way of, and how is it "blocking searches by its presence"? [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 21:09, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''keep''' per {{U|Jackmcbarn}}. I would also add that the correct way to get this removed from redirect would be to Delete the template, not the module. The template uses the module but didn't always so if this were deleted the template could just restored to a pre-module state. But deleting the template would likely attract far more objections as more widely watched, on a more active deletion noticeboard. Deleting the module on its own makes no sense.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small>^{[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]}<sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 21:25, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

* You're probably misunderstanding what a module actually is. SiTrew, this is merely the code that generates the notice that is shown on the pages of redirects which are under discussion at [[WP:RFD]]. [[User:Alakzi|Alakzi]] ([[User talk:Alakzi|talk]]) 21:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' per [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ASimonTrew&diff=657345644&oldid=657178897 my comment on the nominator's talk page]. Per the discussion referenced in that diff (and [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] can probably confirm this as well), one of the main reasons why [[Module:RfD]] was created was to allow nominated redirects with transclusions to not also transclude [[Template:Rfd]] on the pages which the redirect is transcluded. Per discussion on the referenced editor's talk page archives as well as [[Template talk:Rfd]], Lua-izing the template was essentially the only way to accomplish my request/concern.
