Template:Cfm
Based on the description, "Cfm" stands for "categories for merger". This is an unused, unneeded template imported from Wikipedia by an editor unaware of our practices here. Worse, it's so inappropriate, it's amazing. Consider: In my opinion, the last thing any backlogged system needs is the introduction of yet another learning curve for a complicated set of specialized templates to make it harder (essentially the argument against Fabartus's template infrastructure).

 * We don't even have a page for discussing article mergers, let alone category mergers. We use categories to collect merge candidates and don't yet have any forum outside article talk pages, and we're incredibly backlogged there as it is.
 * Wikipedia doesn't even use this terminology anymore. Its terms are "Wikipedia:Proposed mergers" and "Wikipedia:Categories for discussion". "WP:CFM" is just a redirect.
 * Wikipedia's merger discussions are also horribly backlogged (that is, those who people remember to nominate rather than just tag for merger). Templates hardly seem to be helping them.

 * Um, yeah — it really was overkill. In my defense, I was nominating this after spending nearly half an hour wandering through Fabartus's former and remaining templates here before punting further nominations to another day, and I really wanted to drive a stake through the heart of a template. Sorry, folks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete I don't like to name category with abbraviations. It would be logical or useful to have such category but I strongly claim we should have a such under full description like "category:categories for merger". And MediaWiki doesn't allow rename categories by move, so this category should not survive. --Aphaia 14:32, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete we don't have a "Categories for discussion" policy, and we are not bound by Wikipedia's policies. Koweja 18:08, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete at present. It wouldn't surprise me if the Wiki eventually gets big enough to need this sort of thing, but not yet.--Poetlister 22:52, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
