Template:Lps
I think I nominated this one at the same time as the whole bunch of other templates, but this one escaped making it into the list for that nomination. This template, claimed to have been "import[ed] from en.WP" by 24.147.125.48, has only one use, which is its own inclusion for an example. It makes reference to a couple of the deleted templates, which leads me to believe that this is just one more of the same. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: no consensus (de facto keep; two votes to delete, one vote to keep). With only three votes, I don't feel comfortable calling the 2 votes to delete a definite consensus. —LrdChaos (talk) 18:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. It looks useful to me; if we are not using it today, that may be more a result of it not being widely known than that there is anything wrong with it in principle.  It's obviously only useful on talk and project pages, but I see no reason to delete it.  121a0012 03:44, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. This template's use on Wikipedia is almost exclusively by a bunch of users for their user pages. I suspect that this effort is supported primarily by exuberant template editors who can't be bothered to see if there are already templates that do the job (better in many cases). For example, all of the "L*s" templates in this and the earlier discussion are probably already accomodated by links, which is far more robust and has the added benefit of a name that actually tells the user something meaningful. (These other ones remind me of my primitive two-letter BASIC variable programming days, and are a wretched mechanism to employ for a project that's supposed to be editable by ordinary mortals.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
