Template:The Good Place

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:31, 16 October 2018 (UTC) Stumbling across this template, I initially planned to update it and include it in the articles which it is mentioned; currently only one article (Everything Is Fine (The Good Place)) includes it. However, with only six relevant articles, I don't think there's enough for a navbox. I've recreated the category Category:The Good Place (which was previously deleted when there weren't even enough articles for a category), so this should still aid navigation for readers. (If deleted, the template could be recreated without prejudice if a few more articles on The Good Place are made e.g. if show continues into future series.) — Bilorv(c)(talk) 19:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
 * The Good Place
 * Delete - I think the minimum is 5 links so the template should be recreated once an article for the next season is made, article on a character or more articles on more episodes. Matt14451 (talk) 15:40, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:29, 16 October 2018 (UTC) New template used to spam links to a Wiki based user-generated site ..... more egregious is the fact that the links don't land on relevant results. Moxy (talk) 07:54, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete as promotional, external link-spam and misleading (any readers who see that will assume Wikimapia is affiliated with Wikipedia unless they know of the site already). — Bilorv(c)(talk) 23:10, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep since this template is no different than IMDb name and such in its nature. Note: I created this template and tried to stimulate discussion on the template talk page but I was unsuccessful.--Sa57arc (talk) 03:29, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * That it is the same as something else is not a reason to have it. iMDB often provides a completely different set of information.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 04:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Wikimapia also provides "different information". Oh well, some found it to be useful during its short life.--Sa57arc (talk) 03:36, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete there where warranted a manual link can be used. However, in by far most of the cases this link is unnecessary (we can include maps, we can link to coordinates through the geo hack), and as such use of this link on pretty much any page plainly fails WP:NOT/WP:EL.  And for cases of 'list of locations of Royal Dutch Shell buildings', that list could have each location linked through coordinates, not as a (not working, and possible incorrect) link on Royal Dutch Shell to a wikimapia cat.  --Dirk Beetstra T  C 04:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. External link spam that violates WP:ELNO and WP:LINKFARM. And this will make it look like that Wikimapia is associated with Wikimedia. No need to promote this unrelated wiki project. --  P 1 9 9  ✉ 15:12, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * delete. Even ignoring the EL and COI concerns, this is entirely the wrong way to link to a mapping service, with our existing mechanisms being better in a number of ways.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 02:11, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
