In the words of User:Ev, here:
 * "Compare with our entry on "Kosovo je Srbija" ("Kosovo is Serbia"). This thing could serve as a textbook example of creating the wrong editing atmosphere and even a "battleground" mentality. Balkan-related articles have enough problems with behaviour, attitudes & approaches already; and such barnstars would only add more fuel to the mix by exacerbating perceptions of biased approaches to article content".

Giving out awards for editing which espouses a particular point-of-view is not compatible with WP:NPOV. Knepflerle (talk) 18:39, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Whether intended as a reward for biased editing or as a particularly ill-conceived reward for maintaining neutrality by trying that Serbia's position on Kosovo be not left out of articles, the end result is the same: it will be perceived as just another divisive nationalist graffiti in Wikipedia, and further poison the editing environment. It will provoke reactions like that of Vinie007 above. It will re-inforce an "us vs. them" mentality & editing approach. It will lead to more volunteer time being wasted in nationalist spats. Whatever the intentions behind its creation & use were, it is detrimental to Wikipedia's aims. — The barnstar's image (a map of Kosovo in the colours of the Serbian state flag) was deleted from Commons yesterday as "Out of project scope: and risks nationalist tensions." - Ev (talk) 14:30, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

This template refers to an organisation that doesn't have a wikipedia article. It is a mass of redlinks, and is hardly ever used. There seems to be no case for its continuing existence. SamuelTheGhost (talk) 18:01, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete. RL0919 (talk) 21:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Per the same arguments of my deletion nomination of FL. It's redundant to ArticleHistory, which is much better suited for these purposes, because it contains links and can easily be changed when the article loses its featured status. The Evil IP address (talk) 12:00, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * So long as somebody orphans this template and converts the last remaining valid uses to ArticleHistory, then deletion seems OK. --mav (Urgent FACs/FARs/PRs) 15:49, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * It has already been done, the one transclusions left are in some template message page, where they can be easily removed. --The Evil IP address (talk) 16:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete and replace by or, which is probably more appropriate for former municipalities, and since the Finnish municipality template is just a frontend for the general settlement infobox.

 * Delete (after the transclusions are amended, obviously - wouldn't it make sense to first amend them and then nominate for deletion, if only to avoid showing the "template nominated for deletion" notice on the target articles?).--Kotniski (talk) 05:51, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Thought that was frowned on as fait accompli.?
 * Please see Being deleted This isn't a problem, really. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a problem in as much as all the transclusions of the template have a deletion notice on them, which will be of not the slightest interest to the several billion people who might potentially read those articles in the meantime. And doing it in reverse can hardly be frowned on if we've already agreed to deprecate the template. (I just bring this up as a small point for future consideration, it doesn't matter that much.)--Kotniski (talk) 07:10, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
