 * Dead end

Template:underlinked is enough. Müdigkeit (talk) 20:53, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. There is an important difference between articles that do not contain enough wikilinks and those that contain no such links.  Using the underlinked template is often a judgement call, and many editors completely ignore it.  Dead end, on the other hand, has more impact and signifies a real problem with an article.

 * Keep - Actually, not necessarily. This template serves to indicate that zero links are included in this page. This is similar to ref improve and unreferenced. An article which is a "dead end" and has no links is more serious of a problem than an article that has links, even though there are few, and this template files the articles into the Category:Dead-end pages category, which is useful in fixing the problem of such articles that are indeed "dead ends".

 * Keep! This is an important template. Not more to say than what have already been said. - (t)  Josve05a  (c)  00:11, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep Since we have such a large backlog of underlinked articles, it's important to be able to separate out those that are most important to fix by using dead end. GoingBatty (talk) 00:39, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Your arguments are better. I close this now.--Müdigkeit (talk) 07:42, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
