Per nomination of Indo-Iranian speaking, below. This template is also full of debateable assertions (most notably on Turkish Cyprus), without room to debate them. I support deleting both. --Septentrionalis 19:10, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. There are losts of them, Template:Slavic speaking, Template:Iranian speaking but the template Indo-Iranian speaking is without a offical languages just adding the countries where the language speak. It's different. If you contine to voting deletion of the template, i will add Iranian-speaking, Slavic-speaking, Germanic speaking, Latin speaking etc.. 21:53 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You've already added one, and if you add any others you risk serious consequences for WP:POINT violations. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 00:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Uh, yeah, I don't see the problem with this template.  Why is Template:Slavic-speaking okay, but this isn't? └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 00:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I believe that templates grouping countries speaking languages of the same language family are valuable and informative. The issues regarding what entities / states should be included in this template must be worked on and resolved. There are many other templates of exactly the same status, all standing without problem and not nominated for deletion. I do not see why Template:Turkic-speaking should be deleted while Template:Germanic Europe, Template:Slavic-speaking, Template:Finno-Ugric-speaking nations, Template:Austronesian-speaking, etc. are standing. Please check Category:Country and territory templates for further instances. Atilim Gunes Baydin 04:40, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - any POV about Cyprus can be removed. In any case, TRNC is Turkic-speaking, doesn't matter what you call it; TRNC, Turkish occupation, northern Jupiter, Disneyland, Southern Andromeda - they speak Turkish. As Atilim pointed out above, there are many similar templates. This is definitely a bad faith nom: don't import debates from other AfDs or CfDs, every debate has its own place.

Intended as a navigation box, but only contains one link [there is only one AAA anticonvulsant] so is useless for navigating. No transclusions either. >< Richard  Ω6  12  '''UW 16:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Unencyclopedic. All of the galleries herein have been nominated to be transwikied to Wikimedia Commons. --SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Delete The template is very empty because "..speaking-nations" templates categorized with an offical language but this template is categorize nations where the language speak, according this template what is next? English speaking nations template with 250 countries? 01:19 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Keep There are many "..speaking-nations" templates such as Template:Turkic-speaking, that you yourself created and maintain, which proves that this is a POV nomination. --ManiF 23:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment - the scope of this template is far too broad. PS WP:AGF. Chris talk back 00:55, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, in no way supporting "This is a POV nomination". But I don't really see what the problem with the template is. -Amarkov blahedits 02:01, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep WP:POINT nomination. I'm also sensing double standards considering Zaparojdik's active support for including as many entries as possible at Template:Turkic-speaking.--Euthymios 09:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep since such templates exist, i see no reason why this one should be deleted... Hectorian 15:51, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Those templates are (Turkic speaking, Iranian speaking etc.) are with an offical language but this template have nothing to do with them. It's funny to adding Vietnam :) Really funny.. Then I'm going to create English speaking nations and there will be 232 countries, ok? 20:12 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, Indo-Iranian Language is an important category in Linguistic. This is different to which you created and was deleted because of "nasty pan-turkic bias".--Pejman47 18:29, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment The funniest thing would be to list all the Indian states seperately (as done in the Turkic-speaking template with Karakalpakstan, part of Uzbekistan)... This way, there would be 30 most entities listed! Hectorian 18:25, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Either make into a category, or write into article text and explain. Several POV assertions on debateable cases and linguistic claims; and the term Indo-Aryan should never be used without context and justification. Septentrionalis 19:05, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I'm not a big friend of this whole series of nav-boxes, but if we need to have them, well, okay. But this one overlaps with Template:Iranian-speaking, which covers a subset of it. Therefore: Rename to Template:Indo-Aryan speaking and prune down to just that branch. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment Turkey listed in first without offical Iranic language. The template was POV at first. 16:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment I wonder why Template:Turkic-speaking which covers a whole language family should exist, while template Indo-Iranians which even is not as broad as the Turkic-speaking, but is simply a subbranch of a language family (Indo-Europeans) be nominated for deletion. Awat 20:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment Many of the official languages of the states listed are not part of the Indo-Iranian group. The official language of Bhutan is Dzongkha which originates from Tibet not Iran. However, Nepali - which is a part of the Indo-Iranian group but not recognised as an official language - is spoken by a minority. English is also an official language of Bhutan, but I don't think it would be put under a West Germanic languages template, if there is one. This template needs serious work, but I don't think it needs to be deleted.--الأهواز &#124; Hamid &#124; Ahwaz 19:09, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

These templates are similar to zh-cp, zh-cpw, zh-sp, zh-spw, zh-tp, zh-tpw, but only make Chinese text inside as links to Wiktionary as a whole. They have been created for long time but almost no one use them, and, in most cases, what we want is to link each character to Wiktionary separately, but these six templates do not help. (so no one use them) Yao Ziyuan 07:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Why do we want to link to characters instead of words in Wiktionary? If we talk about a Chinese word, we should link to the word's entry, not the individual characters. Kusma (討論) 08:04, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Two points, (1). No one uses it at this time. (2) I mean, actually we have better method without zh-d-xxx, for example, create a new template called "zh-d" or something alike, and use, this is much more flexible. —The preceding comment was added by Yao Ziyuan (talk • contribs) 08:25, 23 November 2006  (UTC)
