The template was unused after the page was requested for speedy deletion, blanked and made into a redirect on bogus grounds (including considering a personal blog sources that were not such). Klondike (talk) 01:54, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think what happened was that Advanced Direct Connect, the page on which this template previously appeared, was deleted and/or redirected, causing the template to be deleted as unused. The page in question has since been recreated, so I think it would be uncontroversial to restore the template since the basis for deletion – that there was no apparent use for the template – is no longer relevant. The template can be renominated at TfD if there's some other reason why it should be deleted. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:13, 28 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse Even if this were undeleted and used, it would be a single use template containing almost exclusively a bunch of inappropriate external links. The reason for deletion has not meaningfully been addressed. * Pppery *it has begun...02:37, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Overturn close that was correct the the time because, pace Pppery, the reasons for deletion no longer apply due to the recreation of Advanced Direct Connect, as explained by Extraordinary Writ. The XfD did not address the nature of the external links and it is not for DRV to concoct a post-hoc delete rationale entirely unrelated to the only delete rationale that was given in the XfD. I can't see the deleted template, so I won't speculate on whether the template should immediately be relisted at XfD. — Charles Stewart(talk)15:49, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
