Though deletion of the templates themselves should probably wait till their inclusion is cleaned up. Since the presence off the templates gives you the helpful Category:TagSynced list of pages with it you can use to find inclusions.

ACGNetwork can't simply be deleted, it outputs the wiki's name in some templates like Template:Delete. Those will have to be handled first (which is probably easiest to do after droping TagSync(Page) inclusions.

Other "unused" templates should be discussed, it depends, some of them may be useful. The intention was to use Special:WhatLinksHere to make sure that templates were not being used before their removal from the wiki. And while TagSynced is indeed a useful category, sometimes I come across templates which are protected, which makes it impossible for me (or other editors) to fix, without calling on a sysop (which their presence of late has diminished quite a bit, with several requests going ignored or not updated).

I know some templates can't just be "deleted" right now, but when they're no longer linked anywhere (again, using WhatLinksHere), they can be removed without breaking anything.
