Template does not generate much traffic is outdated and is unlikely to be updated again (besides me nobody ever updated it anyway, and I rather have it deleted then spending time updating it while I think it has become useless...) and info is easy to find at Kiev City Council. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 21:04, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - it's currently used in 14 other Wikipedia articles, which I'm sure will receive plenty of traffic. There are many articles on Wikipedia that are out-of-date, but that is not a reason to delete them. The current template is presumably accurate as of 2008. I realise things are moving fast in Ukraine and Kiev, hopefully this means other editors will notice any errors and update it in the future. Sionk (talk) 16:00, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
- weak keep, it seems not all the entries are linked through the main Ukraine political parties navbox. Frietjes (talk) 18:43, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

These templates were used in articles that were either deleted at AfD (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Midlands Stratford Road bus Corridor (2nd nomination) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Midlands bus route 97) or two of them subsequently G8 speedy deleted on 17 & 20 May 2014. The templates came to my attention when an IP (presumably the original author, Flagler32) began linking two of them to Template:West Midlands Buses navbox and adding additional info to them including urls to an off wiki hosted copy of the deleted articles. Because they are all now of no further use and are now being used innappropriately to subvert the AfD process, I believe all of these templates need to go. Sionk (talk) 19:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

The template is basically an image without the flexibility of changing the image size or caption. Redtigerxyz Talk 12:13, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
- Keep It's an image map in Category:Wikipedia image maps. I have added optional size and caption parameters. Background: I once noticed a bunch of articles had very similar image map code for this image. Most editors cannot edit image maps and it's a mess to duplicate image map code across multiple articles so I made a template and transcluded it. Not the greatest template and the "click on feet" part seems odd but that was the original code and I didn't rewrite it. Going back to code duplication is not a good reason to delete the template. If somebody for example rewrites image map parameters to allow clicking the whole body then should they have to duplicate their code changes in 5 articles? And what if somebody improves the code in one article without knowing or caring there are 4 similar articles needing the same change? PrimeHunter (talk) 14:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
