The result of the discussion was delete. Jafeluv (talk) 11:00, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and orphan. It uses plurar instead of singular. Infobox military person is well established not needing unneccessary redirects. Magioladitis (talk) 15:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just a friendly remark from the original author. The Infobox PS was one of the first infoboxes and predates the infobox it currently redirects to by two years. It's neither used nor needed any more though and could be safely deleted. //Halibutt 19:12, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The infobox served a great purpose back then but now it's obsolete exactly as Halbutt suggests. We don't need a template or redirect with this name anymore. -- Magioladitis (talk) 17:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan in mainspace. We have {{Nasdaq}} as a valid redirect. Additional "2" is unneccessary. Magioladitis (talk) 13:10, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not orphaned - the nominator removed it just before opening this discussion. I will undo these edits shortly. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:11, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not needed. The bit about being orphaned is a red herring; the template has no purpose to exist. Binksternet (talk) 15:26, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No reason to keep redirects that are more complicated than the original templates. -- nips (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Bypass redirects and delete + trout nominator for orphaning it before this discussion Bulwersator (talk) 18:39, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We have {{tooshort}} as a valid redirect. This one contains an unnuccessary 2. No need to keep it. Magioladitis (talk) 11:35, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
