There are three differences that I can see: {{l}} supports a g= parameter while {{onym}} does not, {{l}} places glosses and transliterations in separate sets of brackets while {{onym}} places them in the same set, and {{onym}} works like {{term}} when the first parameter is blank, displaying the term unlinked. --Yair rand (talk) 19:50, 27 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
If those are in fact the only differences (I haven't checked, but will take your word for it), then I'd be fine with either fixing {{l}}'s deficiencies and changing {{onym}} into a (deprecated?) redirect, or vice versa. —RuakhTALK00:00, 24 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
Those appear to be precisely the differences enumerated by Yair rand above. The reason for deleting {{onym}} is not because it is identical to {{l}} (which it most clearly and demonstrably isn't), but rather because it offers no useful functionality that is not already covered by either {{term}} or {{l}} -- and thus has no real reason to exist, as best I can tell. -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig05:49, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Nu, so? If/when we merge the two templates, every difference between them — no matter how trivial — will have to be merged in one direction or the other. —RuakhTALK14:30, 23 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
That's true, but something like an italic transliteration really doesn't seem like a big issue. Personally I think consistency is better, so they should either all italicise, or not at all. —CodeCat15:56, 23 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Delete/merge+redirect (per Yair). DCDuring said about a different set of templates that "a system that is too complicated will not be implemented correctly by anyone other than the developer of the system and perhaps an acolyte or two", and I think any effort to use {{onym}}, {{l}}and{{term}} distinctly is futile for just this reason. - -sche(discuss)08:03, 22 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
For some reason, I find myself agreeing with -sche with particular enthusiasm.
The name doesn't seem constructively suggestive of function, purpose, or scope of desired application, either (like {{term}}), nor is it usefully brief like {{a}} or {{l}}. If anything the name seems misleading. Delete (I could imagine the name being possibly useful for something so redirection seems only a temporary expedient, though "temporary" may be a long time given its widespread transclusion .)

No, because it's still used. Someone needs to bot-change it (AWB might be best) to {{l}} everywhere, even old discussion pages, except in cases where {{onym}} itself is being talked about. I'll do it sometime unless you want to do it first. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds22:14, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
