GPS waypoints
A list of GPS waypoints of places in Wikipedia. Not encyclopaedic. r3m0t talk 21:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as useless/unencyclopedic. The individual articles can have the geographic locations.  &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-05 22:03Z 
 * Delete as per above. Sliggy 22:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, we couldn't possibly list the coordinates of everything interesting. Rhobite 00:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per noms above - also, sounds like we have a geocaching fanatic editing Wikipedia. Cyde Weys votetalk 05:12, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Unsure. Agree it is not encyclopediatic in current form (just a list).  Perhaps content about GPS waypoints may make a worthy article.  At least one of these waypoint was added to an existing article (Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site) -- I moved it to the "reference" section -- but (as I know nothing about GPS waypoints as a phenomenon) I don't know how encyclopediatic the GPS info is even within an article. &mdash;  Eoghanacht  talk 14:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Rewrite and then see per Eoghanacht. I was about to rewrite it myself, but the best I could come up with was a dicdef so I didn't bother. Someone with more GPS expertise than I might be able to do something with it. Haikupoet 21:36, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - we have templates such as &#123;{coor d}} to add lat/long to articles. There is no need for this. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 23:49, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as hopeless listcruft. Stifle 13:17, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
