Template:YSG Entertainment
- Template:YSG Entertainment (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Navigation template for YSG Entertainment, an article deleted at AFD. It has only five links, four of which are redlinks and three are deleted articles. There is only one remaining blue link. Created by User:Coal Press Nation now indef blocked for as promotion only account. SpinningSpark 23:31, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Template:Lang-en-emodeng
- Template:Lang-en-emodeng (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template was used in only Glossary of nautical terms, Builder's Old Measurement, and English wine cask units. I replaced it with HTML formatting, like "Early Modern English". Now it's nearly useless. If that link is not always memorable, at least a reader can click or type "History of the English language" to search for past English languages, like Early Modern one. The template's redirect is {{lang-en-em}}, and it must be also deleted. George Ho (talk) 17:50, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Lang-en-GB
- Template:Lang-en-GB (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
It was used in Apheresis (linguistics) and Caramelization. I replaced them with plain link, "British English", so this template is no longer used in mainspaces, rendering it near-useless. George Ho (talk) 17:24, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Lang-en-CA
- Template:Lang-en-CA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Absolutely useless, as "[[Canadian English]]" is more memorable and familiar to type than this template. George Ho (talk) 17:16, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Lang-en-AU
- Template:Lang-en-AU (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template is not at all used by pages. It is useless, as "[[Australian English]]" is easier to memorize and to type than just... {{lang-en-AU}}. George Ho (talk) 17:13, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Keep and reverse any WP:FAITACCOMPLI actions aimed at rendering it useless. This was definitely used before. Under-utilized templates are not useless, simply under-utilized. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 19:33, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Lang-en-US

This template was used in moustache and bachelor griller. I replaced them with the link (American English). Therefore, this template may be useless because it's no longer used in mainspace pages. George Ho (talk) 07:21, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

Template:Govinda (actor) sidebar
A side bar template with three incoming links and only three links is a bit of an overkill. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 06:34, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
- Expand into navbox: He seems to be quite the notable Indian actor, so expanding this template into something like Template:Jeff Foxworthy would probably be the best course of action. Supernerd11 Firemind ^_^ Pokedex 07:45, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
