The outcome of this request for deletion was to  Delete. Chenzw  Talk  13:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:English district population citation - Created in 2011. Out-of-date citation.
• Template:Eukaryote gene structure - Created in July 2015. Uses a template we don't have.
• Template:Firefox release history english - Created in 2013. Data only to that time.
• Template:Firefox usage share - Created and last updated in 2013. Data only to that time. Note: has doc page.
• Template:Geologic history to scale - Created in 2013.

Auntof6 has nominated these pages for deletion for the reason: Miscellaneous unused templates. Other issues as noted above. Some are out of date, but not worth updating if we aren't using them. --Auntof6 (talk) 06:50, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss this request below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options other than "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• Template:Eukaryote gene structure
  • Agreed, that Template:Eukaryote gene structure would require a lot of work to get functional on this wiki (has a lot of dependent templates). The non-interactive File:Gene_structure_eukaryote_2_annotated.svg should be sufficient for most instances on this wiki. Evolution and evolvability (talk) 11:46, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, we already use the non-interactive version on gene, and it should also be used on gene expression (which includes gene regulation. I will see to that soon; it needs some explanatory prose in the article. So the interactive version can be deleted without loss. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:07, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Geologic history to scale - Created in 2013.
  • This we don't use and don't need. In historical geology the information is in tabular form, and appropriate information is given in all pages relating to Earth geological history. We had a struggle to keep certain non-Simple editors from stuffing our geology pages full of templates. This particular template is lurid and excessively distracting. All our historical pages have sensible data with soundly based dates. So delete. Macdonald-ross (talk) 17:27, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all. The only one that I could even remotely see keeping is the geology one, but I agree with Mac that it should be deleted nonetheless. Versions of the information in the two Firefox templates is available on enwiki if we ever need to go back for it. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:49, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

And eventually we might be able to pull the latest release from Wikidata, although looking at the values there, I'm not sure how we'd extract the right one. --Auntof6 (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Right. I know that WD's three-box system is supposed to leave us the "right" value in #1 position. But when a production version, a beta version, and even an alpha version are all "current" ... ?? (sigh) StevenJ81 (talk) 15:50, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This request is due to close on 7:00, 4 June 2016 (UTC), seven days after it was filed, although it may be closed earlier at the discretion of an administrator.
