Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was Keep - In a discusion short on convincing arguments either way, I can only note that the request for deletion hasn't found any support. It might help to discuss its usage or usefulness elsewhere, though, including the question whether this should be rather a template or a GIF. Tikiwont (talk) 09:42, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject External links/Ad
This has to be one of the most user-abusive wiki-"things" I've ever seen. I thought my mouse was broken when I first saw this monstrosity. I'm not 100% certain this is the correct X fD process for this page. It is intended solely for transclusion, making it a template, but it is not in the "Template:" namespace. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 06:16, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep these ads are fairly common. I couldn't personally link you to the actual template which most people use for "ads", but I'm sure someone can. Either way, I similarly don't know if this should be template space or WP space. But I do know it shouldn't be XfD'd. :) --Izno (talk) 14:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. I agree completely with the nom about it being annoying, but that's not a reason to delete it, and it could serve a purpose.  --UsaSatsui (talk) 16:43, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be apart of the Wikipedia ad project. -- Ned Scott 01:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Part of a WikiProject, no meaningful reason for deletion. Jor  dan  Contribs  18:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment isn't this part of the Qxz-ads system? -- Suntag  ☼  10:27, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fix the problems.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 01:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Keep Seems to be apart of the Wikipedia ad project" and similar comments aren't actually a delete/keep rationale of any kind. Being part of a project doesn't magically grant XfD immunity. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 06:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
