Fork of Template:Location map+ to add the ability to include an overlay image. Although this was already possible by overloading the "marker", I have added this feature to "Location map+", so this template is no longer needed. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 21:21, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Very pleased that the Template:Location map+overlay is deleted because you rolled the 'overlay image' into "Location map+" template. Especially pleased that you changed my Ibn Battuta overlays to use the new template.  Many thanks Sladew (talk) 08:42, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Delete 5 article navbox that is unlikely to grow. The articles should be suficnetly cross-linked without this 'box. J Greb (talk) 17:01, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Useless navbox. All red links Mhiji (talk) 14:53, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep No longer all redlinks. Strikehold (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
 * But the box is still useless. It doesn't aid navigation, which navboxes are designed to do. Creating redirects so that the links are blue rather than red doesn't solve anything - the issue is still there. Mhiji (talk) 01:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. Appears to be a historical railway line. Next to none of the station articles exist, so there is no place for this template. If in fact this is not a plan of a historical line, but a current plan, then don't count this !vote. — This, that, and the other (talk) 07:17, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

The grouping of items in this category is a that of a very narrow point of view and unnecessary. There is no official (or even agreed upon) definition of a "Mesivta". All of these schools can be put in their correct geographic location (or whatever) template for high schools. Joe407 (talk) 13:53, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I believe this template should be retained. Firstly, in truth there are dozens of Mesivtas nationwide. (A large number of them have Wikipedia articles.) Second, for the thousands of Ultra-orthodox Jewish boys entering high school each year, this template can assist them in browsing the numerous options available. 173.54.201.130 (talk) 03:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * <small class="delsort-notice">Note: This debate has been included in the list of Judaism-related deletion discussions.  —Joe407 (talk) 13:58, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * "this template can assist them in browsing the numerous options available." Please read WP:NOTDIR.  Wikipedia is not a webhost, a guidance counselor or a directory of schools.  You are also not addressing the main concern that this is an ill-defined grouping that can either include every Jewish school worldwide or a very narrow slice of Jewish schools according to the whim of the last editor to touch the template. Joe407 (talk) 20:57, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep as it can be fixed and expanded and serve a useful navigational purpose. IZAK (talk) 00:44, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

The definition of Mesivta, as used in the United States, is: Haredi Jewish high school for boys. Compare with "Rabbinical Schools in New Jersey (incomplete)", which is similar in scope. (Perhaps this template should be split into different regions.) 173.54.201.130 (talk) 02:59, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * A) This makes it region centric as opposed to global. B) What if the school does not have Mesivta in its title?  Or what if the school spells it Metivta (with the sephardic pronunciation)?  Or calls itself a mesivta but does not identify as Haredi? For example, The Metivta. Joe407 (talk) 09:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete We don't need a template for all the countless high-schools within Haredi Judaism. Or any other vocation or religion, for that matter. Debresser (talk) 05:12, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * How about Rename to Template:Orthodox yeshivot in the United States exactly like Template:Orthodox yeshivot in Israel? It is better defined, and will serve as a navigation template for Category:Orthodox yeshivas in the United States. --Muhandes (talk) 13:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Would you distinguish between high-school, yeshiva ketana, and post high school? Joe407 (talk) 04:26, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Does the category? --Muhandes (talk) 06:09, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems to. It looks like it is only post-high school. Joe407 (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Then I propose to do the same for the navigation template. Perhaps there is room for two templates, Template:Orthodox yeshivot in the United States (for post high school) and Template:Orthodox Jewish high schools in the United States. Anyway. I propose to limit this to the US, as it seems to be anyway. --Muhandes (talk) 15:49, 4 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Perhaps Rename "Orthodox Jewish high schools". 173.54.201.130 (talk) 14:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
