This template was previously used for Israel Defense Forces, but now that article uses the standard Template:Infobox National Military, so this one is orphaned and redundant. I see no reason for keeping it. Nudve (talk) 19:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I created this template by mistake: there was a spelling mistake. I have moved it to template with correct spelling (Template:Lok Sabha constituencies of National Capital Territory). Please delete this one with wrong spelling of Capital. GDibyendu (talk) 10:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

The tournaments aren't very notable, alot of the players are red linked or are stub articles, and no other national team has any templates to these tournaments. ''' Blu  e  Red 06:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete playing in these tournaments is not a notable achievement by Wikipedia standards. Football tournament templates should only exist for the FIFA World Cup and the highest level of continental competition, in this case CONCACAF Gold Cup. E  P  21:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - My concerns: The font colour makes it almost hardly readable, I don't see a long history of improving, and it is not used in any mainspace areas. Schfifty  Three  00:15, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

External links template primarily serving to redirect traffic to eBay affiliates. (This may not have been the case when the template was created, but perhaps due to domain hijacking or some other events, it is effectively the situation today.) See brief discussion here. ''Note: I have blanked this template, as I feel it is likely it will be deleted and I think eBay can do without the traffic in the meantime. I am still only nominating it for deletion, rather than tagging it as speedy, as its creator is an administrator, and I'd like for them to have time to respond or to correct the template should they wish to do so.''   user:j    (aka justen)   01:57, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Strongly Agree – Agree that maybe it was fine when created, but now it's very bad. These pages are really loaded up with affiliate links.  Bobby  I'm Here, Are You There? 02:15, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose I believe only Don's and Ron's sites (the first two sites linked) are in question. When I created the template, the two sites did not have as many ads as they do today. Even with the current state, they are still they provide the most complete collection of coins and banknote photos, relatively speaking. Many numismatic editors and I very often use these sites to find clues about a currency's history. Without the vast number of pictures they provide, such task would be impossible w/o buying a catalog. Unless somebody finds an satisfactory alternative, I would oppose the deletion. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 14:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Well I think this is opening up a very bad can of worms. This invites anyone that has a "good" link on Wikipedia to load up the pages with affiliates links and exploit the free traffic. I still think it's an incredibly bad idea and they should either have to clean the pages up or the links should be removed. It's seems fairly obvious to me that these sites saw thew traffic after the links were placed on Wikipedia and took advantage by loading up the aff links. It's just not right.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  delldot   &nabla;.  00:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Strongly Agree – can of worms indeed! "Automated spam" might be a better term.  Actually, I came here to learn how this page works, and to nominate the Exchange rate template for deletion.  If I'm reading things correctly, it has the same author and the same effect.  Sorry if I'm writing in strong terms, but I can't tell you how offensive I find the concept of automated spam links in Wikipedia.  Smallbones (talk) 03:58, 1 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Trust me when I say I, the author of these templates, have nothing to do with the websites included in Template:Standard numismatics external links or Template:Exchange Rate. Before the creation of these templates, those links had been copied and pasted on various pages. All I have done is to enforce some standardization. I can't find a more complete coin gallery site than Don's, and a a more complete banknote gallery site than Ron's. So if this template were to be deleted, other editors will gradually and naturally fill the pages with these links again, without the templates.
 * If you ask me, Template:Standard numismatics external links or Template:Exchange Rate are like Imdb name, Imdb title, MySpace, tv.com person, people.com, which are all for-profit sites.

Not enough content for a template. Only consists of links to the parent article, and two articles which are up for afd and unlikely to survive. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:11, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for now. It can be re-added if enough develops to give the template more substance. Ward3001 (talk) 00:53, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Redundant to NX Files character. Only different background color. No reason to have different colors, or we can define them in the template. Magioladitis (talk) 00:10, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
