Merge with Template:Charlotte Bobcats current roster. The last template should be renamed to match the new club name. The Banner talk 21:00, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If anything, since the template has already been created in the place it was going to be moved to, and since the Hornets one is already formatted to the new colors and has replaced the Bobcats template already, the Bobcats template should be deleted to save the time of reformatting the Bobcats template.

Single use template, text can just be transcluded in the article Ford Island. The Banner talk 09:18, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose Single use isn't listed at WP:TFD#REASONS. Moving the content of the template to the article makes the article unmanageable for newer editors who don't understand Wiki syntax.--v/r - TP 16:47, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- And newer editors know how to edit a template? The Banner talk 17:31, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Newer editors are less likely to do so. They want to edit content, not 20 year old statistics.--v/r - T P 17:39, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- According to Help:Template: A template is a Wikipedia page created to be included in other pages. Templates usually contain repetitive material that might need to show up on any number of articles or pages. Please note the plural used here. The Banner talk 17:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - Also note the word usually. Can you tell me how much templates cost? I know we want to save the WMF every dollar we can. How expensive are templates that warrant deletion if they are not used in multiple articles?--v/r - TP 17:43, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Funny argument. The Banner talk 17:56, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      - Problem solved 5th_Operations_Group#History.--v/r - T P 18:05, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cheap trick. Besides the use in this article is inappropriate because it includes units and aircraft not assigned to the 5th Composite Group. --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:53, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not really, all but 1 unit belonged to that group. I've trimmed out the remaining one from that article.--v/r - T P 20:18, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete two uses of something that will not change and is not navigation material isn't very useful. It obfuscates the page information, and is boilerplate. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 06:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete A table would serve as well on the single page it is used on. In addition, the information in the template is inaccurate. --Lineagegeek (talk) 21:53, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This piss poor TfD served nothing. Template space is cheap and deleting templates that are only used in a single article is not a productive endeavor. Go build an article or something instead of wasting my time. Template deleted, way to save the 'pedia a couple of bits in the database, you're real heroes.--v/r - T P 20:18, 22 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
