Speedy delete per WP:G3. I just tagged the two templates. A a s i m 22:44, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only transclusion that readers will see is a transclusion at an empty category Category:Mahatma Gandhi Central University. I just nominated that category for speedy deletion. Unless if there are a bunch of articles on this topic, I do not see a good use for this template. A a s i m 21:05, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I added it to Mahatma Gandhi Central University. There are plenty of equivalent and valid university templates around. PPEMES (talk) 11:18, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You are you using WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS as an argument. Can you please share some examples of templates with zero working wikilinks? All the material wikilinks in this template link back at the university page. --Muhandes (talk) 17:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'd insist on WP:NOTFINISHED. PPEMES (talk) 09:17, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Right now, there is not enough content in the template to justify its navigational existence. --Tom (LT) (talk) 05:57, 20 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not enough links....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:20, 23 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Only links that would have been useful are redirects to the main article.--Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 02:06, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
