Template:2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF Third Round) group talk
- Template:2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF Third Round) group talk (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Intended to help navigate between non-existent group standing templates. S.A. Julio (talk) 22:17, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Template:Irish language place name
Unused, plus the code is trivial: meaning '{{{1}}}'. Earlier today, it was used on two pages: Two Rock, which I removed in the process of rephrasing; and Tír Eoghain, which I removed for clarity of the wikitext, and because there's no sense using a trivial template on a single page. — W.andrea (talk) 19:08, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Template:Molecules detected in outer space
Having this as a navbox does not appear to be the optimal solution. Many of the pages listed never mention the occurrence in outer space, and the property seems rather arbitrary for a navbox. It seems that List of interstellar and circumstellar molecules is sufficient, and could be linked in a "see also" section instead of this navbox. 1234qwer1234qwer4 13:31, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Keep, please read the guideline and guideline summary at WP:CLN, navigational boxes, lists, and categories are complimentary to each other and the existence of one is not applicable to argue for the deletion of another. This is an informative and scientifically important navbox. Thanks. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:01, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delete, fails 3 of the 5 guidelines at WP:NAVBOX, and morally, this just isn't a useful one with a good, comprehensive list article on the subject. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:15, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Again, please note the brief summary of WP:CLN which explains that lists, navboxes, and categories compliment each other on Wikipedia. Playing one against the other makes no policy sense and is the opposite of how the rules are laid out. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:37, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Complement, not compliemnt. And right after that, it says
"At the same time, there may be circumstances where consensus determines that one or more methods of presenting information is inappropriate for Wikipedia."
I'm arguing that this is one of those times. –Deacon Vorbis (carbon • videos) 15:55, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

Template:Infobox diplomatic crisis
Template is only used on 8 pages. Claims to have been ported from {{Infobox civil conflict}} but with zero documentation to speak of, there is no indication as to why {{Infobox civil conflict}} cannot be used? Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:52, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: See my point in the last time this was put in TfD. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ .n the homo 07:24, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
- Been six months since the last TFD, in that time the template has not gotten an documentation or increased in usage. There is still not distinction beyond the name. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:08, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
- Delete I previouly nominated this template for deletion. and the arguments remain the same. It is a copy of Template: Infobox civil conflict but with a different name. This template was made to resolve a dispute over whether to use Template: Infobox civil conflict or Template: Infobox civil conflict. While the name of the template might better describe one application of Infobox civil conflict, this application can be described in the documentation and/or by using a redirect with the alternative name. It does not require the creation of a new template. The template is redundant. Two of the applications of this infobox resulted from changeing the template used from military conflict or civil conflict to diplomatic crisis. What the reader sees is unaffected by the change.

- Delete, a redirect is sufficient if the templates do not differ in appearance. Wasting time is still my passion (talk) 15:12, 22 August 2026 (UTC)
Template:Infobox archive/wikidata
Barely used template where the parent template ({{Infobox archive}}) is actually a redirect. No need for a wikidata version of this. The 7 pages that use this draw very little from wikidata and can easily be converted. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 04:38, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
Template:Infobox UMTRCA
- Template:Infobox UMTRCA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused Infobox created back in 2019 to be used on UMTRCA sites. Links to List of UMTRCA sites (a page that has never existed) and documentation claims that it is needed for Category:UMTRCA sites (a category that has never been created).
