Long list that simply duplicates list at State-recognized tribes in the United States, to which all the articles in question are already linked. Category:State-recognized tribes in the United States also includes all relevant articles. Yuchitown (talk) 19:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't see the issue here. Categories and lists are used as bases for navigational templates all the time, and this is a particular topic which links all of these articles together. --RayneVanDunem (talk) 22:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template links to a broken database. Replace all transclusions with {{FCC-LMS-Facility}} (which links to a functional database) and delete. (No need for a redirect; a merge is impossible and this is an implausible search term.) HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 00:47, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:52, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete This template has been clumsy and useless for several years (as it takes you to another page with very unclear and user-hostile navigation); surprised it hasn't been nominated sooner. Nate (chatter) 00:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Support per above. This really should have been done long before the CDBS database began to fall apart (probably around the same time the Radio-Locator template was nominated), but better late than never. Nathan Obral • he/him • tc15:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete this (and FMQ) with the note that replacement with FCC-LMS-Facility must be manually done, as it requires a Facility ID parameter. In many cases, the existence of this template or FCC-LMS-Facility in the external links section can be made redundant by the infobox directly. For articles on current radio stations using {{Infobox radio station}}, this can be turned on in most cases by calling |licensing_authority=[[FCC]] (except if there is non-numeric syntax in the facility ID parameter, which may happen for simulcasting stations that share an infobox). Compare before and after Special:Diff/1226852945. Sammi Brie (she/her • tc) 06:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
