I originally created this template, the version info has since been moved to WP:DATA. I don't see any reason to keep it around. — Félix Wolf (talk | contribs) 12:03, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. The template's documentation says that it is "to denote articles that use Tanzanian English", but that page is a new redirect from December 2024. The redirect goes to Languages of Tanzania, which does not mention anything about "Tanzanian English". As such, this template provides no guidance to editors about how to edit, so it is useless. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:33, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Following the OP's decision to push for deprecation of the {{EngvarB}} template, which had been intended to serve as a single-use identifier for all of the varieties of what could loosely be called "Commonwealth English", we have no choice but to retain templates for all of the individual languages which fall under that broad umbrella. These dialects have broad similarities, paritularly in spelling, but also differences, as an article like Kenyan English explains. Tanzanian English is probably close to that Kenyan English actually. Anyway, EngvarB was a good compromise because while there are small differences between the variety spoken in the UK, Australia, India, Kenya etc, they all have broad similarities which make a single umbrella useful, and the individual differences can be sorted out case-by-case by consensus at the individual articles. Absent that broad all-encompassing template, we're left with having to list one for each country where English is spoken. Which is OK but not optimal. What I would definitely not support is defaulting all EngvarB uses to {{Use British English}}. Kenya and Tanzanian dialects are not identical to British English and it would be a rather colonial sort of attitude to attempt to shoehorn them in at this stage, when all are individual sovereign states. Finally, if this template is not in use that's because nobody has done the work to place it on the relevant articles, not because it doesn't belong anywhere. I just added it to Dar es Salaam for example, a clear case where using Tanzanian English would be the correct approach, as mandated by WP:TIES.

    The above seems like WP:OR to me. Where are the reliable sources that show that Tanzanian English is actually something that exists, is distinct from other varieties of English, and has rules that would help Wikipedia editors ensure that the written English usage and spelling in an article complies with those rules while also following MOS:COMMONALITY? None of the above exists on Wikipedia, as far as I have seen. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:58, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If there isn't any guidance to what exactly the difference is in written English words, then these template is completely pointless and serves more of a WP:OWNership than anything else. We aren't here to right past wrongs (colonial sort of attitude), but to write content. Gonnym (talk) 08:40, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions of this navbox. The article at North Star Athletic Association says "2025 – The NSAA will cease operations as an athletic conference after the 2024–25 academic year" and the American football season is over, so there are no longer any football coaches in the NSAA. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:22, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
