* While it's true that this is symptomatic of the generally egregious quality of our coverage of this subject, so long as this is being used as an extlink and not a reference it's probably not going to help anything by deleting it. ] (]) 09:54, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Template:Vndb

Template:Vndb (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The VNDB is editable just like Misplaced Pages. This template is wholly unnecessary. I have also noticed that the website is being used as references (two are used on 11eyes: Tsumi to Batsu to Aganai no Shōjo). A massive revision on anime articles is recommended.

Virtually a navbox with only links to redlinks besides the main page. Until at least a few of them get created, there'd be no point in having this. ZappaOMati 00:46, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete. If articles can't be created for the red-linked items in four years, it's probably not going to happen (if it does, recreate it at such time). Transcluded in only one article. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars 01:25, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
