The result of the discussion was delete. Noting for others that the parser function the participants refer to is {{int:}}. (non-admin closure) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 21:48, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This template has multiple problems. First, there reason to have templates whose purpose is to internationalize text on monolingual wikis like the English Wikipedia. Second, there's no reason to have templates that are trivial wrappers around parser functions; just use the parser function directly instead. Third, the source template, mw:Template:Intcurrent was deleted in October 2019. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:57, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There's no obvious value of having this template in articles. Koimoi is a gossip site and is not generally considered a reliable source at Wikipedia, so why would we direct readers to a site that the community doesn't have faith in? Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This template used to have several items that have been deleted in AfD processes. No point in having the empty template. --Tone 14:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to either {{At school}} or {{Busy}}, with a suitably-worded message. Just 34 transclusions, now that I have replaced the majority of uses, which were for people who have not edited in over a year (many in over a decade), with {{Not here}}.

Long established consensus on WP:FOOTY and per the outcomes of previous TfD discussions (example here, here, here, here, here and here), international squad navigational boxes should only exist for the senior men and women's: World Cup, Confederations Cup, Olympics and each continent's top level competition. Neither of these templates are for such a competition, and therefore should be deleted. The squads are already listed at Football at the 1995 Pan American Games#Argentina and 1991 FIFA U-17 World Championship squads. S.A. Julio (talk) 07:58, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a stub-sorting template created outside of process and without a dedicated category. Note: the template creator has only been a registered user for 4 days at this point and created a full wikiproject for this topic as his 10th edit. Imzadi 1979  05:02, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support deletion. This was one of those guidelines I didn't know about. Livinlife133 (talk) 05:05, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:EngvarO spelling with Template:British English Oxford spelling.
Low usage duplicate, it seems ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison collapsed.

{{British English Oxford spelling|flag=no}}

{{EngvarO spelling}} {{EngvarO spelling|nocat=true}}

though of course if I'm missing something here feel free to let me know.
Feeling neutral on redirecting vs deletion. I doubt any non-regulars will try to use {{EngvarO spelling}} and regulars will figure at what happened to it fairly quickly and adjust. That said redirects are cheap so there's little harm in it existing. Interestingly {{EngvarA spelling}} is still a redirect, {{EngvarC spelling}} has been deleted and the TFD for {{EngvarB spelling}} is running about even on merging vs replacing below. It's also worth noting that {{British English Oxford spelling}} is itself a wrapper for {{British English|Oxford=yes}}
As a side note Brojam and Tom (LT) both of you wrote EngvarB where I presume you meant to write EngvarO you may want to go back and correct that. (please ping on reply)

This template serves no useful purpose and contains an incoherent mythical blurb. Whpq (talk) 00:05, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
