The grouping of places in this template serves little purpose. There is no main article for Central Counties of Ontario Tourism Region that gives any context, and the places listed here don't match the "Central Ontario" tourist region anyway. Typical case of WP:NENAN. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:47, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Nominator is entirely correct about this — this seems to be an entirely self-invented term for a region original-researched into existence by the template creator himself (an editor who has a longstanding habit of doing this kind of thing, including once hijacking the {{Greater Toronto Area}} template to create a new wider "region" that didn't correspond to any established geography of Ontario either.) Central Ontario refers to areas north and east of the GTA, not anything west of or in the GTA, while "Central Counties of Ontario" is a complete non-thing. Bearcat (talk) 21:06, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

- Delete clear case of corporate-promotional intent, here and at Wikidata. The information is all tagged with references to the company. (Wikidata probably doesn't have any policy against promotional ref-spam, because Wikidata doesn't have policies on much of anything). I have submitted the usernames involved to WP:UAA as corporate promotional usernames and implied shared use. The website claims they "partner" with Wikipedia.

- Template:Uw-civil-qa1 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
User warning created by now site banned editor. Notably, it is the only one in its series - no one has seen fit to create a level 2, 3 or 4 warning. I suspect this template is rarely used and if used is more likely to escalate tensions than calm them. Indeed, the template appears to have been created by its author to make a WP:POINT (see [1]) as part of a pattern of problematic behaviour. We need to be conscious of user warning template creep, and we already have {{uw-npa1}} which (if a templated message is appropriate) seems to have broader consensus for use. The use of {{Uw-civil-qa1}} - and problems associated with it - are currently being discussed Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case#Joefromrandb. WJBscribe (talk) 10:32, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- Delete I agree with WJBscribe. This template could be considered a net-negative. It doesn't appear that the community ever bestowed upon it any authority, and the best course of action is remove it altogether. Lepricavark (talk) 21:36, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

- Delete. It has gotten some use - these are usually substed, and possibly blanked by the recipient without archiving either way. I hadn't looked at the history of this template, but obviously I should've. (Take my opinion with a grain of salt, though; if I had my way a good 90% of the standardized warning templates would go to the Great Database in the Sky.)
