There do not seem to be any countries with a copyright term of 90 years from the death of the author, so this template doesn't seem to provide any additional information which isn't already provided by {{PD-old-80}}. It only makes sense to have a PD-old-n template if there is at least one country with a copyright term of n years. Since a lot of files currently use this template, it may be better to redirect it to {{PD-old-80}} instead of deleting it. Stefan2 (talk) 16:05, 14 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

 Support we should use {{PD-old-auto}} or {{PD-old-80}} instead. See also File:World copyright terms.svg. --Jarekt (talk) 03:15, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Will delete I'm going to attempt to delete this via staged deprecation with a tracking category. I'm going to update {{PD-old-auto}}, {{PD-old-auto-1923}}, {{PD-old-auto-1996}}, and {{PD-old-auto-unpublished}} to no longer use this template. That should leave the tracking category filled with just the files that directly use PD-old-90. I'll update the files in the category to use an appropriate PD-old-auto template. Once the category is empty and this template is no longer transcluded by files, I'll delete this template. If this turns out to be impractical, I will instead keep but replace the template with a redirect. —RP88 (talk) 22:09, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
