Propose deletion of this template for the following reasons:

  1. seems to be a recreation of previously deleted Template:Order, see Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 October 4#Template:Order and Special:Permalink/1196163462#Nomination for deletion of Template:Order.
  2. The purpose of the template is not clear. The template links to WP:ORDER and categorizes into Category:Wikipedia articles needing ordering, yet it is used solely in person infoboxes, as an outcome of mistranslation from Polish Wikipedia. Compare w:pl:Marcin Borelowski and User:Kadachie/Marcin Borelowski. In mainspace it's just placed in the field "Awards" of the English Wikipedia's version of the infobox. So it seems to be about Order (distinction), which is not related to WP:ORDER (aka MOS:ORDER).

Corresponding Category:Wikipedia articles needing ordering should be deleted as well. —⁠andrybak (talk) 17:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Panoramio service was discontinued in 2016, now the link points to a Google shutdown notice. Low number of transclusions (21). ZandDev (msg) 14:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:ELNO #1 (featured articles would "[have] images and other media, where appropriate [...]"), and #7 and #16 (site was intentionally shut down and links are broken). PleaseStand (talk) 17:58, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Previous TfDs for this template:

The website is broken. it's not on the Internet Archive, but if my memory serves me correct, it was broken 6 months ago too. A lot of the pages linked to still work, but I don't think systematically linking to a site that clearly hasn't been maintained in any way for at least 5 years (look at the copyright notice) is a good idea, especially considering the effort it would take to merge them as decided by their previous TfD. Side note, in my personal opinion, I don't understand why we linked to it in the first place. It doesn't seem to be a site of particular importance, or credibility, or quality, or anything. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 00:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete both per the nomination. I agree that it was always a bit of an off-the-beaten-path website to link to, and there's no encyclopedic value to leading our readers to an error message that is unlikely to be resolved. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete both per nomination. Although I will point out that the site's forums are still active as of this month, with its users expressing concern about the state of the main site, maintaining two meant-to-be-merged templates linking to a database site that is not that particularly important, has not been maintained for years, and is not even up-to-date (their entry for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse still lists it as "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Sequel" [page broken; see also their Sony Pictures Animation cartoon list], suggesting that it was last updated before that film was announced with the initial title Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One)) is not worth the effort. –WPA (talk) 11:25, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
