Template:Tviv and Template:Tviv this
Links to TV IV, an "encyclopedia of TV-related items" project. We don't generally link to such secondary sources unless they're sisterprojects.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  23:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. -Xol 00:06, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * keep seems analogous to imdb name, isfdb name and similar external link templates. I think these are a good thing, in general. DES (talk) 00:40, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - I doubt TVIV is as notable as IMDb. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 00:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 02:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as per DES above. Are you wanting to annihilate Category:External link templates, which seems to include its fair share of "secondary sources"? —Phil | Talk 11:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, not a primary source and WHOA does it have a lot of ads. Boy. I am gonna love going through more External link templates. -- Netoholic @ 13:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

 * forgot to sign. Dread Lord C y b e r S k u l l ✎☠ 08:39, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete the adverts are just about bearable but theres hardly any information, I followed links from wiki and was presented with stubs and blank pages, there normally is an article briefly outlining a show but with a lot less detail than here. Discordance 14:59, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Google templates
(includes Template:Google-Search, Template:GoogleImagesSearch, Template:Google Map, Template:Google Video Search, Template:Google Video Search1, Template:Google near, Template:Googleprint, and Template:Googleprintpage)

More variations of templates that have been deleted before (Templates for deletion/Log/Deleted/May 2005). Search links are not encyclopedic references, and linking to Google Print is poor form when the book reference should be explicitely cited, with title, publish, ISBN, etc.. -- Netoholic @ 18:44, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - These templates are tantamount to advertising for Google. They might qualify for speedy deletion. —Cuiviénen (<b style="color:darkblue;">Cuivië</b>) 21:24, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Buy custom adwords on Google, add custom link to Wikipedia article, ... profit? :) -- Netoholic @ 22:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, (and remove instances of) per above. -Xol 23:10, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, linkspam. Ouch!  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  23:55, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or rename, especially geographical links (e.g., "Google Map" and "Google near"). These work particularly well in some locations (e.g., in London at least). Rather than delete, it would be nice to rename to a more generic way of accessing this information (like the way "ISBN" works for example). --Jonathan Bowen 20:29, 2 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Delete - People know what google is and how to use it. There is no need to be linking to google. Pointing to google images is especially silly considering the content can change daily, often times pointing to unintended content.--Pinworm 22:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - As per above. Besides, pretty much everyone knows how to use a search engine and if someone wants more information from a search engine, they can go use one on their own.  Cluttering up the external links section is also a big negative in my opinion. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 13:11, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --  Dalbury <sup style="color:green;">( Talk )  21:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems to much like advertising and who doesnt already google these things? Google searches shouldnt be the things we link to they are too vauge detailed resourse websites fit better than a search engine. --Seth Turner 18:18, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - As discussed. Sulfur 22:08, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
