This template has a scope of containing all companies in the CAC 40 stock market index. However its existence is unnecessary as Category:CAC 40 already serves this purpose. A link to the category CAC 40 takes up far less space on the article than the template, and occurs automatically by being included in the category. As having both on an article page is redundant, only the category should exist. Kurieeto 14:58, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, this navigational template (an article series box) violates the guidelines of Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes#Article series boxes, which state that if the answer to the question "Is a given article in the series likely to mention the article before or after it in the series outside of the box?" is no, then "a category or list is probably more appropriate".

  • Keep In my experience, a user is more likely to find other articles through a template as opposed to a category. In many cases, category lists are simply ignored. I think templates are much more useful. --Horses In The Sky 16:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: From Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes#Article series boxes, also known as navigational templates:
  • "Is the subject of this box something that would be mentioned on every article in the series?
  • Is a given article in the series likely to mention the article before or after it in the series outside of the box?
  • Are the elements of the box all going to generate articles substantial enough that the box will not look like an unmanageable blight on an otherwise tidy computer monitor?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no", a category or list is probably more appropriate."
I would view this template as answering the above questions as "Yes, No, Yes", respectively. Please consider this as a further argument for the template's deletion given that a category is most suitable for its scope. Kurieeto 17:29, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This template has a scope of containing all brands of Kraft Foods. However its existence is entirely unnecessary as Category:Kraft brands already serves this purpose. A link to the category Kraft brands takes up far less space on the article than including the template. Only the category should exist. Kurieeto 14:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The template only contains an image tag, I see no logical reason why this is needed AzaToth 10:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was interesting. This template was speedy deleted. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 09:32, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Given that the template still exists, was this an attempt at humor? RadioKirk talk to me 07:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
