Too few links to justify this template, not needed. JMHamo (talk) 18:56, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Template:Spanish clubs in European football ? --►Cekli 829 06:30, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You missed the point.. it's the amount redlinks in the Azerbaijani clubs template... JMHamo (talk) 09:44, 7 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - too many redlinks, does not serve a purpose. Giant Snowman 07:08, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:NENAN, not a useful aid to navigation. Fenix down (talk) 07:42, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - because obviously its use is harming the encyclopedia. Red links are bad. </sarcasm>. Spoilsports! --{{U|Elvey}} ^(t•c) 17:00, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

unnecessary frontend for {{sidebar}}. Frietjes (talk) 16:07, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete — This does appear to be a rather trivial frontend. —PC -XT + 04:26, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Google videos (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The service has been shut down and all links appear to be broken. FDMS 4 00:52, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment is this ever used in references? If so, it should be kept with a deadlink indicator. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 07:30, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure how the English Wikipedia deals with dead reference templates, but existing template uses could get substituted and a {{dl}} added. FDMS 4 09:42, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

delete, after "substituting" and marking with deadlink tag, in cases it is used in a citation (and simply remove where it is in the external link section). Frietjes (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after substituting in references and removing from external links sections —PC -XT + 18:34, 6 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; used over 500 times. Deprecate. Deleting it would be contrary to WP:V at this point, even though the links are dead.--{{U|Elvey}} ^(t•c) 16:57, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: "The remaining Google Videos content was automatically moved to YouTube" so why don't we just fix the template to point to the videos there?--{{U|Elvey}} ^(t•c) 17:03, 11 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - That would be ok with me, for now. It may be better to convert to use {{YouTube}}, then subst, though. —PC -XT + 07:22, 12 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt that's possible, even if we find a connection between Google Video IDs and YouTube IDs, a lot of former Google Video content might now be unaccessible: […] we’re moving the remaining hosted content to YouTube as private videos. FDMS 4 01:00, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If there is no easily predictable way to translate the url to YouTube, then my !vote for deletion stands. Any remaining substitutions can be marked dead so humans can fix them as appropriate. —PC -XT + 04:04, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
