Template:911ct
Inappropriate template that only serves to promote and endorse marginal fringe theories, and used to "align" topics and invididuals of dubius connections. Offers nothing to Wikipedia and only offers to allow POV pushers to promote cruft of their walled garden of WP:FRINGE theories. Also glaring WP:OR violations in it's existence. Cannot offer assistance to people only out to make a buck at the expence of decent people--this allows transclusion across Wikipedia as a SOAPBOX, see WP:SOAP. Violates WP:NPOV. Delete.

 * Strong keep. This template was created in order to solve a particular issue:  That no existing template gathered all the articles detailing the controversy around the 9/11 incident.  It was designed as a result of discussions here and then released and deployed ion a small set of articles, then expanded by other editors.  It is a pure navigational template, though still imperfect.  There is a set of serious discussions happening currently at Template talk:911ct with a view to removing those imperfections.  The nomination is eloquent, but contains much unsubstantiable rhetoric, especially the words: "Cannot offer assistance to people only out to make a buck at the expense of decent people".  Far better to spend that energy reaching a consensus for improvement than nominating for deletion.  Fiddle Faddle 23:49, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep I'd think this should make it easier to find OR articles to delete. Xiner (talk, email) 23:54, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - Useful to the reader as a navigational aid; similar to templates used in many other articles. Tom Harrison Talk 00:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete: Although a notable pop culture phenomenon, the conspiracy theories do not form a unified topic. Peter Grey 03:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Note Moved from WP:MFD. — xaosflux  Talk  03:20, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Peter Grey. Doesn't really help navigation, as it's too big and ugly and covers too many topics. Patstuarttalk 06:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
