The template is extremely specific to a particular organization. It was being used in only one article - Institute of Management Technology. The other two articles (about branches of the same organization) that were linked to from this template have been redirected to the aforementioned parent article. The template is not transcluded anywhere now, so can be safely deleted. Thanks, Max ^{- You were saying?} 18:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Several: 1. Overly long name 2. Isn't in English 3. "Where will it be used, and what is it specifically?" are questions that blare in my mind. Suggested action - Deletion, or at least translation if it ends up being useful/important. — Anonymous Dissident^Talk 14:38, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep it. The whole point of a stretch of railtrack is the places that it goes to. Stuttgart and Bad Cannstadt are both place names that resonate deeply with anyone interested in the origins of the petrol driven motor car and therefore definitely places that merit significant coverage in an anglophone work of reference. Presumably someone has or shortly will provide(d) an entry on this stretch of line which also appears to interface in many respects with other parts of the network in a part of the world where rail travel is very much seen as part of the future (which our stateside friends who still enjoy 'gas' at way under five dollars a gallon may find somewhat unfathomable). The template could presumably also be adapted for other stretches of line where needed. However, the image will for anglophones be usefully enhanced when someone gets round to translating the bits that are not place names into English Regards Charles01 20:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I imported this from German wikipedia to make the line diagram in Filsbahn work (which still needs some translation), but I have pasted the code directly into the table so the template is no longer necessary. Germans like long compound nouns names and apparently file names.--Grahamec 01:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Template:State terrorism

The result of the debate was deletion. There is no way this template could ever be stable. Even with a link to an entire list of actions labelled as state terrorism, there would be endless discussions (read:edit warring) over which events are important enough to mention in the body of the template. This is not appropriate for a navbox, and as such, should go. RyanGerbil10(C-Town) 03:24, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is really sad--delete the article to the point that it has no content, then put it up for deletion for the reason that it has no content. I am going to request this template be kept speedy keep.

Comment To the closing Admin, users: Tbeatty, Tom harrison, MONGO continue to delete large portions of this template while the AfD is ongoing. This makes the template look have less relevence than it really does, and may effect the votes of other editors. 69.153.81.182 19:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC) — 69.153.81.182 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Strong Keep template serves an imporant purpose, pointing to articles. Currently, there is a proposal and work in progress to expand the State Terrorism series to several more countries. This is a legitimate and noteworthy subject that will keep growing. The template serves a good purpose.Giovanni33 14:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete a navigation template with no articles to navigate. One link will be the page the reader is on, the other should be in See also. Tom Harrison ^Talk 14:18, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What other articles might be included? If it's just those two, it seems like 'See also' is the place to put the one the reader is not already viewing. Tom Harrison ^Talk 19:47, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per Evil Spartan (there is a number of articles related to state terrorism, see for some samples List of acts labelled as state terrorism sorted by state) Tazmaniacs 19:33, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Presumptuous title. List is vacuous. WP:NOT It is all synthesis and original research. The list should he created by a reliable source since it is such a conentious issue. For example, the EU has list of terrorist organizations and that list should exist on Wikipedia, but Wikipedia should not be creating its own lists of state terrorist as this template is trying to do. The "Wikipedia List of State Terrorists" is inherently original research and synthesis of published material and is not allowed by policy. --Tbeatty 08:36, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Calling violence by the state terrorism is begging the question, as all actions by the state are politically motivated. Notion is thus superfluous. A state terrorism article on Wikipedia shall have to be more metaphysical than anyhting else, but this template here is really adding nothing. Intangible2.0 20:57, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I fail to see why this is not encyclopedic. Anyway, the reason for the template not currently containing links is that some users deleted them prior to the TFD. The template in its earlier, non-emptied form seemed to be acceptable. .V. _[_Talk|Email] 22:12, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Why use a template with a few articles? The suggestion to link within the page is correct as the See also section would eventually be added by someone. The way these types of articles go lately, anything goes. The template adds nothing. JungleCat Shiny!/Oohhh! 23:06, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep nominator and POV friends deleted all of the links in this template, then put this template up for deletion because there were no links in the template.

So it's you who added Idi Amin to the template under the Easteregg title 'Uganda'? Even though the word 'terrorism' never occurs in Idi Amin's biography? How does that work? Tom Harrison ^Talk 00:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong and Speedy keep per existing arguments... Ranma9617 01:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not encyclopedic is not a rationale. The editors who want this deleted have complained that it is biased to have an article about State Terrorism and the US and not other countries. As a result other editors have suggested expanding the number of articles to other countries (there's currently another about Sri Lanka) and I see this template as a means to encourage new articles by forming an overarching category/template for the two that already exist.--Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 02:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Completely specious and spurious. --72.65.92.47 02:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. POV, too easy to abuse, difficult to verify its application, disruption magnet. - Crockspot 14:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep This is clear counter template action.(links have just been readded) There's no POV on this template, nor in the article's links, many of these are pretty well sourced. A discussion just above about wheter STATE TERRORISM exists or not is OFF TOPIC, this page is for discussing on the template itself.--Andersmusician VOTE 00:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm not sure of the encyclopedic value of this. State terrorism is a pretty vague blanket term, and it's POV depending on which side of the argument you're on. Moreover, I think the inclusion of article regarding different countries it implies a link between the terrorism in different places that doesn't in fact exist. In short, it's creating a topic heading that doesn't really exist - a better idea would be a cat, or a subheading in a Terrorism template, because there can be a relationship positied on a more genral level that way. MSJapan 00:29, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Then we nominate Template:Christianity for deletion, no. All articles can be POV depending the side from its written, thats no deletion argum. Also this type of "terrorism" shouldn't be confused with the stereotipic def, needs its own separated template --Andersmusician VOTE 01:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Innately POV template. I would oppose it even as a category, as I would oppose templates/cats. of the form {{Alleged terorrists}}, {{Alleged murderers}}, {{Alleged rapists}} (even when there are no BLP concerns) etc. Abecedare 04:33, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Many of the editors here also attempted to have another related article deleted recently, the page also suffers from blanking by some participants in this debate: Recent blanking by Mongo [9][10] TBeatty [11][12] are clearly violations of this very process. Further the articles that the template points to are all sourced and valid. The template does not duplicate another and this submitter has not even given a valid reason for deletion. --SixOfDiamonds 20:10, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You need to read the justifications for deletion before you make a erroneous comments...[13]...as I stated in my deletion reason. Adjustments to templates and articles undergoing discussions for deletion are normal and there is no policy violation in doing so.--MONGO 20:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Your argument that it links to two articles, which is based on you removing the others and or blanking the entire page? ... yeah good job, you make a valid argument for deletion. Perhaps if you did not remove all the content in a revert war, there would be a continued process to include content. Especially when the talk page disagrees with you. --SixOfDiamonds 20:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The template contains vastly more content then when it was proposed for deletion, which is also just after much of it was removed. You can see it clearly lists more articles then cited in the TfD. It is also now protected to prevent further blanking. I would ask the closing admin to look over votes agreeing with Mongo, as they are no longer valid, seeing as the template is larger then cited. --SixOfDiamonds 20:28, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Operation Murambatsvina, Rangoon bombing, and 8888 Uprising, do not mention terrorism;
Terrorism in India is about terrorism in India, not about state terrorism by India;
Including Reign of Terror as an example of state terrorism is a gross anachronism. I wonder that you didn't include Roman persecution of Christians;
Paramilitarism in Colombia mentions terrorism only once, and then it is not state terrorism;
The addition of The Killing Fields can only be justified because it is in the Category:State terrorism, so the new template is probably redundant anyway;
The inclusion of Dirty War is at least supported by text in the underlying article.

Tom Harrison ^Talk 20:41, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There is no logical reason to delete this template. It is useful and joins together existing articles on a common theme. This nom is POV motivated, as with the dozens of other, failed AfDs started recently. ... Kafkaesque Seabhcan 20:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since most of the articles recently added don't mention state terrorism, what theme would that be? Tom Harrison ^Talk 20:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The template is linking common articles. For instance the Cuban Flight bombing does not mention it is considered state terrorism on the part of the US, however it has been cited as state terrorism. The articles on gas chambers do not have to mention the word executions for it to be on a template of methods of execution. The fact that you come here from the article attempt to place article standards on a template shows how misguided your points are. Here is an easy to explain comparison, Osama bin Laden's article does not cite him as a terrorist, would you then state any template relating to terrorism with his inclusion should also be deleted? --SixOfDiamonds 21:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We are telling the reader in the template that these are articles about state terrorism. Where should be the citations to support that? They are not in the underlying articles, and the underlying articles do not in general even address state terrorism. Tom Harrison ^Talk 21:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the citations are doing so, mr. harrison, grammar is not a criteria for inclusion nor deletion--Andersmusician VOTE 23:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What citations are doing so? There are none in the template (I don't see how there could be) and there are none in the articles supporting any connection to state terrorism - not surprising since the linked articles are not about state terrorism. Tom Harrison ^Talk 00:16, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once the protection is removed I can add sources for Luis Posada/CIA intereference in Cuba as well as Iraq, I have some nice sources including a nobel laureate in literature and obviously the government that was invaded and overthrown. As for Guatemala I have a source citing that as state terrorism as well. Once its unprotected you can see it grow. Unfortunatly due to some people blanking the template I cannot add related articles, and due to edit warring and blanking of sections on the US article I cannot add more sources there either. --74.73.16.230 00:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep per The Evil Spartan Thanks Taprobanus 21:38, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong and speedy Keep per The Evil Spartan. It is a useful navagation template. As stated you can delete article that are not wiki standards but do not delete the template. This is very useful template that will keep the see also from being cluttered with other related articles. Watchdogb 21:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On a special note: Most of the argument against the template is actually a argument against articles "State terrorism". While it might be true that some of the article might not belong under state terrorism, it does not mean that the template must be deleted. Keep in mind that even if the template is deleted the articles remain. So please go ahead with AFD and not XFD. If this template is deleted then people will just add all these to the "see also" section. Which will then result in edit warring. Watchdogb 13:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per Watchdogb delete articles not meeting standards but not all Harlowraman 22:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and improve. No proper rationale shown for deletion, and no obvious reason why it is "not helpful or encyclopedic and serves no benefit". On the contrary, we should seek to improve and broaden our coverage of state terrorism. As far as I can see this template can or could aid that effort, by linking various articles. Of course the articles linked to will need to be carefully monitored. Attempts to blank the content of the template during the discussion have not been helpful to the discussion. --John 23:06, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep So much of terrorism in the world is state sponsored. Syria and Iran supporting Hezbollah and Party of God in Lebanon (at least until recently) come to mind as worthwhile avenues of explorations for new articles. France bombed the GreenPeace ship near Australia some years ago; the PLO back in the 70s was perpetrating acts of terrorism and being financed by several countries; Operation Condor; Plus the existing articles can and should be improved. Instead of trying to delete material in this template how about contributing along these or other lines? --NYCJosh 06:40, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Whehter it will be a valid template I don't know, but under the current highly POV-driven contributions we should at least give it a chance to grow.

Delete Accusations of terrorism, state and otherwise, are thrown around like confetti these days, and there is no generally-trusted person or body for Wikipedia to treat as authoritative (especially not the UN, to anticipate a probable objection; no-one with any sense trusts the UN). So this list-within-a-template is indeed "inherently POV and OR", as previous !voters have said: it can only represent the OR and POV of the Wikipedians who edit(-war over) it. Keeping it would contradict core Wikipedia policies. It has to go. CWC 09:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CWC, according to your reasoning, we should also delete the WP article on "Terrorism". For that matter, should we remove ALL mentions of the word "terrorism" on WP, unless they are in direct quotes?--NYCJosh 22:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, not at all. I didn't write good enough—sorry. In an article we can (and should) make it clear who is making the accusation of terrorism, report what other authorities have said about the accusation, etc, etc. In a template like this, we rate accusations of terrorism as credible or not credible, by including or excluding articles. It's the same problem as controversial categories for living people (see WP:BLP#Categories).

I see that Tom Harrison has made the same argument.

This template still has to go. CWC 04:21, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This template was replaced by {{Infobox Settlement}} so that all Settlements in Canada use the same template. MJCdetroit 00:49, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I created this template 2 years ago because the standard city infobox was confusing and horrible-looking. This new settlement infobox is better, except for the population and area sections and the drab lack of colour. But everything changes here, so it is ok. But, I'd rather not delete this template because that will remove the infobox from the article histories. --maclean 03:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And it was much better than {{Canadian Town}} indeed. Still, I don't think it should be kept for historical reasons, I'd say delete. --Qyd 04:16, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was 'speedy delete G2. --ais523 13:16, 6 July 2007 (U T C)

I'm not sure what the purpose of this template is, but it is unused and seems to have been created as a test. If someone more knowledgeable in templates than I could confirm that it is indeed a test, it would become subject to deletion per CSD G2. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 00:43, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete - Close enough to test for me. There's no documentation, no indication of usage (no links), and was only edited twice (first time was creation) on the same day over two years ago. It might be a language template, but we have one of those for Chinese already. Creator took a two-year Wikibreak, so it's unlikely that the purpose behind this template will ever be ascertained.
