Hello, I gather that at some stage a template that I had created, {{ISBN}} has been deleted. I'd very curious to read what the reasoning was. I'd also be curious to know why no one told me about it ;)
Anyone know how I can find the discussion in the archives? I can't see a way other than systematically plodding through all the archives for each day and hoping to stumble on it. But since I can only guess it was sometime in the last month or two. Can't find it with Wikipedia's search, can't find it with google...any ideas?
I'm presuming that old TfD archives are actually retained...?

It's also in

and

(the May one seems to have been "this needs an ISBN!", the later two just conventional ISBN links)
