There was and is no "Northeast Independent Conference". This template purports to group historic football programs into the organizational structure of a non-existent conference. It violates
WP:OR and/or

The inclusion criteria depends on the vague definition of “college preparatory” school. The current schools are all private, but the definition could be interpreted to include any public school that has any elements of the college prep curriculum. We could rename the template “Private schools in Tennessee” to reflect the current contents, but I don’t think we need a navbox for
Category:Private schools in Tennessee

Recently the 650+

Module:lang. There are a few that, for one reason or another, have not been / should not be converted. The new templates provide parameter support that was not available to the old templates so some of these are forks that support functionality that was not available in the base template; some of these misuse {{

- We generally avoid removing templates before deletion, otherwise it looks like a
fait accompli. We also avoid noincluding the deletion notice to advertise the discussion, which is often quite hidden relative to normal readers and even editors. --

- I get that, but if the functionality of one template set has been replaced by something else, it's better to just get the migration done first, especially when it's technical minutiae like these lang templates.

- {{
Lang-deu}} – Redirect to {{
lang-de}} or delete. Don't keep the status quo as it entails a confusing redefinition of a standard code.
- {{
Lang-naz}} – Rewrite to use the correct language. It's a valid template; if deleted it will sooner or later get recreated.
- {{
Lang-roa}} – Keep as a useful template with a valid code. If its current use ultimately invokes
Module:Lang causing it hiccups and sneezes, then the template can be changed, for the time being, not to invoke it until the module has been extended with support for collective codes.
- {{
Lang-son}} – Keep: the same situation as {{
lang-roa}}.
- The rest – Meh. These templates aren't individually harmful and they're even marginally useful. However, I wouldn't like to see the logic behind them getting extended into the creation of similar templates for all possible combinations of lang-Script codes as the resultant proliferation will become unmanageable. –

- {{
lang-azj}} is for Northern Azerbaijani. {{
lang-naz}} should be for
the language with ISO code naz: Coatepec Nahuatl. –

- Point. I read your comment as arguing for a North Azeri rewrite. Still, I don't think that we should rewrite and keep an unused Coatepec Nahuatl template just because maybe, because someday, it might be needed. If that rationale holds then we should be creating
{{lang-??}}
templates for all other ISO 639-2/-3 codes that do not yet have templates. An
insource:
search seems to indicate that naz
is not used with {{
lang}}
; similarly, another
insource:
search finds four articles that use the text "Coatepec Nahuatl" but of these, three don't seem to require a language markup template though the fourth,
Nahuan languages, could and probably should – in which case, it would seem that {{lang|naz|...}}
} would be preferred over {{lang-naz}}
(because we already know that we're talking about Coatepec Nahuatl). —

- Yes, there isn't going to be any immediate loss in the case of deletion, and probably it doesn't make much of a difference in the general scheme whether the template is tweaked and kept, or deleted and then possibly recreated at a later point. If there's any particular argument for preferring keeping, I think it's the fact that the existence of a functional template linking to Coatepec Nahuatl is a stronger disincentive for its repurposing into a template about North Azeri than is a deletion log entry pointing to this mass nomination. This template's creator isn't the first, and is unlikely to be the last to squat on what must appear like a perfectly unoccupied language code. –

- Doesn't the 'keep-to-preclude-squatters-from-misapplying-language-codes' argument, by extension, then argue that we must (as a preventive) go ahead and create new templates where there are none now, even if those templates don't ever get used? (Rather impractical, I think, because there are some 7900+ language codes in the IANA registry.) Just delete; if, in some version of a future, we need it, we can recreate it then. —

- North Azerbaijani is a member of a messy (in ISO code terms) dialect cluster with unintuitive choice of codes, and it's not surprising that someone would have thought of using something as straightforward as "naz". A similar state of affairs holds with respect to the varieties of Punjabi, which led one user to come up with
"pun". But these situations are rare, and in the vast majority of cases the combination of responsible factors (messy language situation + counterintuitive codes) does not occur. There's
no need to pre-emptively create any such templates. –

- I've tweaked {{
lang-naz}} to use the proper lang code, so I think it should now be kept as it is. –

- Delete (or redirect, as described above) after fixing the very few transclusions to use existing properly constructed templates. –

- Delete after replacing where required. These are all redundant to other language code templates. The "roa" and "son" templates can be recreated if there is ever a need for them.

- keep {{
Lang-naz}}, {{
Lang-roa}} and {{
Lang-son}}, but delete {{
Lang-cdo-hani}}, {{
Lang-cdo-latn}}, {{
Lang-deu}}, {{
Lang-kmr-at}}, {{
Lang-ku-at}}, {{
Lang-mis-Cyrl}}, {{
Lang-mis-Latn}}. this is also consistent with the fact that the first three are not in the tfdlinks list at the top.

This template should be deleted on different grounds. Firstly, no other template of "People involved in ___" exists on Wikipedia, and probably rightly so. This should especially be the case in a subject so complex and as this topic: Who would qualify to be listed? What are the requirements and how are they actually measured? There are none. The template just lists former presidents and head of states; why ignore thousands of politicians, writers and activists who have been heavily involved in the Arab/(Palestinian)-Israeli conflict at one point or another to different degrees - they could all be added. The latter's actual influence may have been greater than some rather formal names on the list, which is at a messy and useless state.
