Template:Infobox public house (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Redundant to {{Infobox building}}. After stripping out tel & fax, the only unique fields are |food=, |wheelchair_access=(?) & |beer_garden=, which WP:NOTDIR suggests are not needed. Just 32 transclusions. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 23:35, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

• delete as redundant. mabdul 23:31, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Template:PA-geo-stub (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) NOTE: This template was renamed to {{WBGS-geo-stub}} on 18 January 2013

Template:WBGS-geo-stub (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Superfluous to Template:Palestine-geo-stub. The Banner talk 17:21, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

• Delete Unused and redundant. - Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:49, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
• Delete highly confusable with {{Pennsylvania-geo-stub}} -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 01:00, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
• Keep The template stating "This geography of the Palestinian territories article is a stub." is a mistake (which I've fixed). Palestine-geo-stub is for Palestine, PA-geo-stub is for the Palestinian territories. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 05:40, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Comment PA is ambiguous, "PA" means Pennsylvania to much of the English-speaking editors of Wikipedia, so is uselessly confusable as named. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:04, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

• That's not a reason to delete it, if the name's a problem just rename it. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 06:10, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
• I moved it, it's now Template:PT-geo-stub. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 07:11, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

And now we need to delete Template:PT-geo-stub since it isn't about Portugal. If you shove a {{db-author}} on it, I think that will get rid of it. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 11:46, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Which is now listed for speedy deletion as G2 - test, as it seems that it was. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

It was speedy deleted as G2 last week -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 02:19, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Except that pt is Portugal's ISO country code, Template:WBGS-geo-stub should do it. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 07:14, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

And now is is a template for a school? (See: WBGS). Why all the trouble with all the moving around? There is no official, recognised Palestinian state. And the present "Palestinian territories" covers all: the present status, a state or even two Palestinian states (not unlikely). Besides that, Wikipedia is supposed to be neutral, your templates are not neutral, at least by flying the flag. The Banner talk 11:45, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Took me a few seconds to recognize what WBGS meant... It looks like a US TV/Radio call sign. (particularly WGBS' call letters); Why are you not using "{{PalestinianTerritories-geo-stub}}" if you're so intent on keeping it, instead of using the wrong abbreviations? Though at the moment, the two Palestinian templates are identical except for the image used. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 11:52, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Interesting, I still have no clue where WBGS is standing for. It will make it more than likely that more people will not recognise it as Palestine-related. So fully confused, they will use Template:Palestine-geo-stub, as that will cover the area they are talking about. The Banner talk 12:06, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Banner, why did you revert my revert of your edit? That's not the Palestinian territories stub template, that's the Palestine stub template, see Template talk:Palestine-geo-stub. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:40, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

Because you created a link to a disambiguation page. The Banner talk 02:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Sence the only reason that you reverted my edit was that it linked to a disambig page, I'm restoring it, but adjusted to address your concerns. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

delete, {{Palestine-geo-stub}} is far less confusing. if you need one for Palestinian territories, then call it something obvious like say {{Palestinian-territories-geo-stub}}. no confusion there. Frietjes (talk) 21:26, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

{{PalestinianTerritories-geo-stub}} is kind of a long name, it'd make it harder to use the template. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 21:41, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

WBGS is a novel invention of your own, I don't see any popular usage in the first 100 google results  ; even when searched together with Gaza only "Gaza" results show up. So "WBGS" is not a usable name. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 06:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

"WBGS" in this context means "West Bank Gaza Strip", and it's just a name for an internal technical aspect of Wikipedia, it's not an article title. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:14, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

It is completely opaque and unless one memorizes this stub, it cannot be intuitively formed by guessing the correct stubtype, unlike most stubtypes. If you want West Bank and Gaza Strip, write that into the stubtemplatename {{WestBankGazaStrip-geo-stub}} ; most stub types do not involve terms that are completely novel creations of Wikipedia. -- 76.65.128.43 (talk) 03:34, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

That is why we have Template:Palestine-geo-stub The Banner talk 02:11, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

• Comment There seems to be a misconception here that Template:Palestine-geo-stub is for the Palestinian territories. It isn't it's for Palestine, it's scope is much broader then just the territories, see Template talk:Palestine-geo-stub. As an example it's used on the Barqusya which is outside the territories. If you want a template for the territories use {{PA-geo-stub}} or whatever we decide to call it. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 00:12, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
  • Have fun with widening the scope of this template, soon half the Middeleast can be included. The Banner talk 00:43, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
