WP:PUF has been closed. The categories were created by Hazard-Bot after DumbBOT stopped, but now both bots stopped creating the categories. 63.251.215.25 (talk) 17:00, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to boldly propose deletion of this template per WP:NOTMANUAL. I have observed this template now for several years and have several concerns.

As a reader, I have passed through stages of interest, study and knowledge of many of these areas. Yet at no stage has this template been at all relevant to pages - it is difficult to read, has no references, and I do not believe it to be either accurate nor represent the complexity of interpreting coagulation results, which are not always as simply interpreted as the table makes them seen and are complicated by disease subtypes and interacting conditions.

The table also has no inclusion criteria. That means every coagulopathic condition now has a link to eg how von Willebrand's disease and Haemophilia, which is tangentially relevant at best to those articles. The table is lengthy and does not add encyclopedic value to articles.

We are not a textbook or manual. This list should be included as a table in Coagulopathy and not transcluded in individual articles.

This template does not add to any other article which it is transcluded in. Instead it is simply "academic-looking" visual clutter that should be replaced by a single table on a single page. I look forward to comments from other editors. Tom (LT) (talk) 08:05, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
