After this CfD, this stub template no longer has enough articles to justify its own category. It's currently just populating Category:New Zealand geography stubs, so we might as well just redirect to {{NewZealand-geo-stub}} ~ RobTalk 19:28, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There are a couple reasons for deletion, mostly focused around duplication of {{WikiProject banner shell}}:

  1. In some uses, this template is being "misused" (I use that term lightly) as it is not being used as a WPBS. It is instead being used to collapse miscellaneous items. In that usage, it can and should be replaced by {{collapse top}}, so it duplicates that template to some degree.
  2. Where it is used as an alternate on WPBS, the collapsing is rarely necessary (in my judgement). The single customization parameter |text= was recently removed from WPBS (and its actual instances) as being of low usage and generally unnecessary. The collapsing behavior can be manipulated in WPBS trivally. So in this way, it duplicates WPBS without need.

I would not support a merge of |text= back into WPBS per #2. Izno (talk) 14:39, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support iff (and only if) current usage is adapted to utilize WPBS as indicated by the nom, and a redirect established as necessary assuming any instances remain after appropriate conversion. A template like this, used by over 100 pages, should be deleted only when existing uses are adapted when the reasoning for deletion is duplication by an existing template. - Floydian τ ¢ 01:20, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Izno: - please, stop removing instances where this template is being used along with all the content they contain. Either you should move content into an alternative template OR wait until decision is made. As for my vote: Support if instances will be correctly replaced by WikiProjectBannerShell where appropriate. SkywalkerPL (talk) 08:43, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    @SkywalkerPL: Easy there. I removed one use (collapsing a single entry) and then decided it would be better to TFD it than to remove 50 some-odd uses, some of which are in archives, etc. etc. --Izno (talk) 11:42, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as redundant, assuming the conversion will be handled appropriately, of course —PC-XT+ 22:15, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only has redlinks so it fails as a navbox because it doesn't navigate anything. Jenks24 (talk) 06:03, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All the group's singles are listed on the main Cure navbox; this is unnecessary duplication. FamblyCat94 (talk) 05:23, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a template for the project used on only six categories but it doesn't categorize the pages into Category:Category-Class MCB articles. This is replaceable with Template:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology on each page. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:34, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
