This template is redundant with NPOV and other neutrality templates, and the wording "appears to represent" prejudges the issue, and is biased. Ray (talk) 15:39, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant to POV. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Redundant to POV template, and ironically a biased template itself ("appears"). Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:41, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete and create Redirect to the POV template. —Locke Cole • t • c 15:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Better for situations where standard POV can't highlight the specific issue. Bias is a subset of neutrality as per Wiki policy (or so it seems). Mikco (talk) 04:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The POV template says that editors are currently engaged in a dispute over the neutrality of the article. This one is an assertion by one editor that an article may be written from a particular non-neutral point of view, comparable to the templates for notability, conflict of interest, etc. I came upon this discussion while I was looking for just such a template, because I want to mark a newly article as biased. The article, Edwin W. Clark, extols his missionary work in India and is written to extol his Christianization of a particular group as a wonderful accomplishment. No dispute is occurring&mdash;the article is undisputably slanted, and I'm trying to mark it for repair. —Largo Plazo (talk) 14:03, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

This template lists only the last three monarchs of Germany which seems pointless as German monarchs lists them all. It also is an unstandard design and size. Basically this template is ugly and messy and is bested b another template and multiple templates all showing the same information look so messey on articles.

This template was created in 2006 to link articles about tv channels in chinese language, when there were only an handful of them. it progressively became huge and messy, and was split in four different templates in september. now it's only a group of templates, but I don't think we really need a template just for listing other templates. other than that, it's used only in 3 articles today.

We don't really need to have a template that states the 9 largest malls of the company, because another template lists all the malls they own. Hence, it is not very notable to list just 9 of them. Xeltran (talk) 06:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete The second listing was for the exact same template so I removed it. Anyway, this is an arbitrary template. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 21:43, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete arbitrary criteria for inclusion. We have lists of these malls by size in two related articles—SM Prime Holdings and SM Supermalls—but both lists are completely unsourced (and, judging from the edit histories, utterly unreliable). SMPH is superior to this template. Maralia (talk) 04:49, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Similar cast templates have been deleted, such as Teenage Robot. I believe that such cast templates should be removed, as rarely is one person associated primarily with any given series. Remove the cast and you only have the characters and episodes lists, not nearly enough for a template.
