No remaining transclusions. The template links to a spam investigation that appears inconclusive, but maybe I do not know how to interpret that discussion. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:01, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep see comment below. ɱ (talk) 18:00, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, article does not exist. if these are being used by more than one language WP, the place to store these is really on wikidata. otherwise, the place to store these is someplace like wikimaps. Frietjes (talk) 19:50, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @Frietjes: You're not adequately describing an alternative host. "Wikimaps" or "Wikimapia" can refer to a whole host of things, most of which are not wikimedia spaces, and thus would probably not be a good place for these. Can wikidata host KML files, and if so, do not vote delete - vote to move to Wikidata. Preserve encyclopedic content when possible. ɱ (talk) 22:12, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't just a template, it's a map. And we keep images, maps, and other graphics and data here; used or unused. ɱ (talk) 19:14, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
TFD also states that the unused templates must have "no likelihood of being used." I do not see you stating any rationale in any of your deletion nominations that tell me why these templates have no possible or likely future uses. ɱ (talk) 19:15, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I did. The article here for example does not exist. Hawthorne Avenue below was deleted at AFD for being non-notable. If there isn't an article to use these, then these will remain unused. en.wiki isn't Commons and isn't a repository of code, images or maps. There are other websites for those. Gonnym (talk) 19:53, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no requirement that images or maps be in use on Wikipedia. And article notability standards aren't content notability standards. Content can, should, and does exist on many subjects without their own articles. ɱ (talk) 20:19, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
KML templates are routinely deleted here for being unused. They're not the same as a map. SWinxy (talk) 03:39, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Things are routinely deleted all the time when nobody stands up for them. Deletions are all too popular here. And KML files are maps, codified and visible to readers in articles as a map. So please, perhaps help keep maps around. ɱ (talk) 03:58, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You know how you can help keep maps around? Go do the leg work and actually link them in the articles. User:WOSlinker connected thousands of them over the last month and I connected around 100 in the last two weeks or so. These templates are nominated here because they are unused and have no logical place to be added to. Meaning they will continue to be unused and will not be visible to readers in articles as you erroneously claim. Gonnym (talk) 18:46, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
My best use of time is in areas I have expertise, not doing that. I just don't want to see valid content deleted simply because nobody wants unused maps on Wikipedia. It's so silly, and it's really not much to ask for. ɱ (talk) 02:03, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Images discussion goes at WP:FfD; Maps as in content goes in WP:AfD. Templates are discussed here. You are trying to derail these nominations by lumping things that don't belong here. As for templates, yes, they do and should get deleted if they are unused. Gonnym (talk) 18:42, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not everything in life is so cut-and-dry. If you are old enough you should understand that. These are maps in code form, which happen to be hosted in the 'template' namespace, allowing their easy use in articles. They are still maps. ɱ (talk) 22:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, no article. if these are being used by more than one language WP, the place to store these is really on wikidata. otherwise, the place to store these is someplace like wikimaps. Frietjes (talk) 19:44, 23 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would not normally move to TFD a template so soon after its creation, but I feel like this one is ill-advised, and had I been consulted I would not have recommended this go forward. Further, its deletion would not be a great loss for navigability.
We have a list, List of ATSC 3.0 television stations in the United States, and Category:ATSC 3.0 television stations. The 110 entries are loosely related, scattered all over the United States. WP:CLN suggests that while a category or list may be appropriate for this grouping, a navbox probably is not due to its sheer size. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 06:58, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Per two recent discussions (1, 2), template pages for sports tables are undesirable in cases where the labeled section transclusion is more appropriate. These templates have very limited use cases otherwise. — AFC Vixen 🦊 00:19, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
