Absurdly incomplete template. If completed it would be absurdly long. Note these are years so extending this would give hundreds of years. Legacypac (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and unclear that this is necessary, given all articles have an infobox that links to a list article. ~ RobTalk 01:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Useless and misleading. The template implies that there are only 5 species in the genus Daphnia. There are more than 200 species, and we have articles on 12. The template doesn't even cover all of the Daphnia articles that existed at the time it was created. If kept the template should cover all Daphnia species, including red-links. I do understand that red links are frowned on in navigational templates, but that just raises the question of what use the template has to readers. It either gives the reader a misleading picture of Daphnia diversity by presenting the reader with a handful of blue links, or it presents the reader with a huge list of red links with a few interspersed blue links. Neelix created this template and has created dozens of similar species in genus templates that only list a handful of blue linked species in large genera where most species are red links.

Per suggestion from WP:NENAN, this template should be deleted because it fails the "rule of five".There are currently three working links in the template and all of them can be accessed directly from the parent article. The discography and awards and nominations links are subsections of the parent article. The Lagos to Kampala link has been redirected to Ghetto University, due to the article not meeting the requirements of WP:GNG and WP:NSONG. Versace1608 (Talk) 00:01, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@OluwaCurtis: You can't compare Template:Olamide to Template:Runtown. For starters, the former template has more links than the latter. By the way, my reasons are justified. I created a template for Gidi Up that was deleted for the reasons I mentioned above. Versace1608 (Talk)
@70.51.45.100: I've updated the template. There are only four working links, not five. Versace1608 (Talk)
Well you converted one of the articles into a redirect [1] -- 70.51.45.100 (talk) 06:59, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I had to redirect the article to its parent article for notability concerns.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 13:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for pointing this out. I have fixed the issues with my signature.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 13:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lol. I guess this template just has to be kept by any means necessary OluwaCurtis.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 13:35, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
