Apparently, my nomination of this page for G8 was "ridiculous". Fair enough; maybe G6 would have been better. Still, this template is useless (two redlinks only, and no main article on the topic), and currently unused. — This, that, and the other (talk) 23:59, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Facebook links are neither reliable sources, nor do they hold any encyclopedic value. Also per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a facebook directory. Alpha Quadrant talk 22:17, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose – I see where you're coming from. However, I recognize Facebook pages belonging to current, living figures as reliable links, as they add another element to these figures' part on Wikipedia. If this template is deleted, we will have to edit a ton, and I repeat, a ton of pages to accommodate this new policy you're seeking to enact. Also, we'd need to delete the templates for IMDb, Twitter and what-not, which I am strongly opposed to. So, that's my $0.02. DarthBotto talk• cont 02:58, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- According to WP:IRS facebook and twitter are not considered reliable sources. It is discouraged to include links to social networking sites. External links are designed to include additional information on the topic. (for example IMDb} As defined by WP:External links, external links should be "Sites that fail to meet criteria for reliable sources yet still contain information about the subject of the article from knowledgeable sources." Facebook and twitter both fail this requirement. This template can be easily orphaned using Auto Wiki Browser in about two hours time. Alpha Quadrant talk 15:52, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Tweebee ( talk) 14:55, 26 February 2011 (UTC) http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Reflinks
- I am not proposing the removal of IMDb. IMDb meets the criteria as a valid external link. This current proposal is to removal of only facebook links, which spams about 3/4 of the BLP articles. As facebook has no other use other than to provide contact information there is not really any encyclopedic value. Alpha Quadrant talk 16:35, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - I think you fundamentally misunderstand what Facebook is, Alpha Quadrant. Facebook is used for far more than just contact information, it also functions as a blogging service, image hosting service, announcements, etc. ad nauseam. In many respects a person's Facebook page is their personal website and certainly should be linked to from the article. Ashanda ( talk) 20:50, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
- I do understand that for some people they primary use facebook as their website, however Wikipedia is not a facebook directory. All BLPs with facebook accounts should not have facebook links. Per WP:ELNO #10 facebook links should not be used unless it is the person's official web page. Alpha Quadrant talk 03:02, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- Strong Keep - Facebook is a top five website, much like Wikipedia or Google. Facebook is not some fad. Plus Facebook has THOUSANDS of Wikipedia related pages on it. There is a ton of Wikipedia information that is used on Facebook so it would make no sense for Wikipedia not to have a Facebook template. The Social Network is poised to possibly win Best Picture at this year's Oscars and this will gel Facebook into the popular culture forever, even moreso than it is now. Strong, strong keep.

These templates don't have many transclusions, and are better off redirecting to Template:R from member which covers their purposes. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 03:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep – The fact that they don't have "many" transclusions is irrelevant for redirect templates because most redirects have not been tagged yet. {{ R from person}} and {{ R from people}} cover all people, whereas {{ R from member}} only applies to members of groups, so they are not the same at all. Category:Redirects from members is a subcategory of Category:Redirects from individual people. McLerristarr | Mclay1 08:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

These templates don't have many transclusions, and are better off redirecting to Template:R from member which covers their purposes. :| TelCo NaSp Ve :| 03:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
- Keep – The fact that they don't have "many" transclusions is irrelevant for redirect templates because most redirects have not been tagged yet. {{ R from person}} and {{ R from people}} cover all people, whereas {{ R from member}} only applies to members of groups, so they are not the same at all. Category:Redirects from members is a subcategory of Category:Redirects from individual people. McLerristarr | Mclay1 08:18, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

^ keep this one. It's a lot easier to find this in the pd-templates category than to try to find that combination of two templates proposed by the nom. If the argument is just simplicity (as opposed to this template violating some other copyright policy) then I think having this template is simpler than not. -- Selket Talk 07:45, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

- Delete No transclusions shows how impractical this template is—most interwiki bots aren't activated on every wiki, and they'll probably be under different names. — Train2104 ( talk • contribs • count) 13:53, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
- The article 1 might make use of this. So could 2 probably. I can see this as being useful if it's subst'ed, but not for much else. Then again, there's not much potential for misuse, so it's hard to see the harm. -- Selket Talk 01:17, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
