'See also' needs a link to relevant template[s]
editI came here because I need to tag a section of an article as needing an international perspective and expected to find a link here to a suitable template. I know such a template exists but not its name. Could someone interested in this essay please supply? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:15, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Careful with suggesting deletion of geographical locales
editI believe that this essay, as it stood, too readily suggested the possibility of deletion of geographical locales. Editors need to remember that Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia, it is a gazetteer as well. See Wikipedia:Five pillars. As WP:PLACEOUTCOMES says Cities and villages anywhere in the world are generally kept, regardless of size or length of existence, as long as that existence can be verified through a reliable source. This usually also applies to any other area that has a legally recognized government, such as counties, parishes and municipalities. They generally do have a reliable source at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency database. See also the guideline at Wikipedia:Notability (geographic features) I edited the essay to make that a little clearer. --Bejnar (talk) 19:56, 27 February 2021 (UTC)
