- Wikipedia:WikiProject Terrorism/List of Templates/doc (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
The templates this documentation page is referring to: Template:Al-Odah, Template:14HighValue, Template:CSRT, Template:CSRT-No, and Template:CSRT-Yes, have all been deleted, so it is no longer useful to keep around a doc page stating that these templates are controversial.

- Delete as an unused and obsolete template documentation page. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 15:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Either Delete or Mark Historical - Why not mark historical? Robert McClenon (talk) 16:21, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing much to mark historical, as it doesn't seem to have been widely used in its time and it doesn't contain much wisdom for future generations. I'm not familiar with the old history here, but it doesn't seem useful to retain, and I've never really undestood the idea behind marking old superseded junk as historical when it was never widely used and lacks any clear future benefit.

- Per the guidance on this, WP:HISTPAGES,
They are kept as records of past Wikipedia processes to give context to historical discussions and to inform future discussions on similar topics
. - Marking stuff as historical is intended to be used when there is a continued need to access pages after they has ceased being active, e.g. keeping records of old dispute resolution processes or obsolete policies that were cited in discussions. I agree there is nothing here that would justify keeping as a historical page, all the discussions where the usability of these templates was decided are archived at TFD. 192.76.8.78 (talk) 16:42, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
