They still have to go through RFDO, anyway, where, of course, no item is ''ever'' summarily dispatched.

I find that argument a lot like nominating terms for deletion because nothing links to them, even when they meet [[WT:CFI]].

| | + | :: The difference is that terms are meant to be looked up, which can happen without links, while templates are meant to be used, which can't happen without transclusions unless they are substituted. {{User:CodeCat/signature}} 11:25, 1 July 2012 (UTC) |
