Somehow I missed a few unused S-line templates in my previous nomination, or these have become unused since that nomination. In any event, I am nominating this further batch of templates. These are all of the untranscluded Template:S-line subpages that have not been edited in 2021. Please see the previous nomination (closed as delete), this similar discussion from 2011, and this discussion confirming that these unused templates are unlikely to be used in the future, since the project is moving from {{ S-line}} to {{ Adjacent stations}}. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 21:38, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The result of the discussion was delete after substitution to ensure the extant data is not lost. Primefac ( talk) 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC) reply

This set of templates are used in a nested fashion to put statistics in articles about Slovakia, such as Abranovce. This presumably makes it easier for the author of Statistic of Slovak places by Dušan Kreheľ to update the stats from their website, which is used as the data source. It's great to have these statistics in Wikipedia, but unfortunately this nest of templates makes it difficult for other editors to improve the formatting, make corrections, or do their own updates. (For example, after poking around these templates for a few minutes, despite having edited Wikipedia for decades and writing bots myself, I couldn't figure out where the numbers are actually coming from.) I think the best thing to do would be to flatten out all this complexity by subst:ing all these templates (which as I discovered would have to be done recursively). For future mass updates, I think it would be better to have a bot dump formulaic prose in articles or infoboxes directly, which is what has been done for U.S. census results. -- Beland ( talk) 00:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply

The link being dead is irrelevant, since it could be fixed (they just restructured the website it links to), and the template is not promoting anything by itself (as there could be legitimate links to bitcoin addresses; whether they are spam depends on context).
