Template:Hang Seng China-Affiliated Corporations Index (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The index itself is obsolete. The index company still publish the index methodology and constituent . But the function was largely replaced by Hang Seng China Enterprises Index. The media also interested to report Hang Seng China Enterprises Index and Hang Seng Index only. For tech point of view. The template was tagged for need update for the constituents since 2014, but seems no one to interested to update it. Thus, i don't saw any point to keep maintain this template for now non-notable index Matthew hk (talk) 16:17, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this once had more directly related articles, but it's down to one album and a song from the album and no longer adds any benefit to navigation. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 00:51, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not needed, only used once. Should be substed and deleted Joseph2302 (talk) 17:38, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: These templates are created to be transcluded in the team articles to prevent vandalism. These templates would be updated every year according to the squads of team. Morever, see Template:Karachi Kings Roster and Template:Kolkata Knight Riders Roster. Same is done there. Empire AS ^Talk! 17:48, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The article has more watchers than the template will, so they are more likely to get vandalised as templates (as fewer people will be notified of the changes). And templates for one use is not the point of them. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:52, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But most IPs don't know tranclusion. And as a result, they wouldn't make unconstructive edits. Empire AS ^Talk! 18:08, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural request to Joseph2302 - can you advertise this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Lanka Premier League. Thanks. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 18:41, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have informed Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket, as that is the central place for all cricket articles, and more than just LPL templates have been discussed here. The outcome may affect other cricket roster templates, so better to get the wider cricket consensus on it. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Joseph2302: This is the inaugural season of LPL and this template is updated every year according to their squad. SO, I don't think it should be deleted. Best regards! (Fade258 (talk))

Don't see how updating a template is easier than updating a table on an article. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:21, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete The main point of a template is that it's used multiple times. The arguments above for keeping these are extremely weak. Using template like this to reduce vandalism is not appropriate - there are other remedies. Nigej (talk) 21:56, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No need. I know a solution and it has worked for some leagues. Human (talk) 07:56, 24 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No apparent reason for such a template. David Biddulph (talk) 06:37, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Ordinarily I would say "userfy" but as the draft it might be used in got rejected, no point in keeping it around. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 🎄 06:50, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (or maybe speedy delete via WP:G2). – Jonesey95 (talk) 07:15, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I came across this via WP:THQ#question. It appears to have been made in good faith, but even if the draft it seems intended for is eventually accepted, I don't see how this template would be of any use. It's basically simple text, i.e. nothing that would require a template. So, I would also see it as a "test edit" made by a fairly new editor trying to figure Wikipedia out than as an attempt to create a viable template. -- Marchjuly (talk) 08:29, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: If I had seen that, I probably would have tagged it as G2. --TheImaCow (talk) 15:18, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete even G2 seems reasonable. Not intended as a template at all, and for an article on a person which has been repeatedly rejected. power~enwiki (π, ν) 20:16, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 0 transclusions in mainspace. –Novem Linguae (talk) 08:22, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
