This page should not be speedy deleted because... a) the template is well-designed and well-used and b) the editor making this request has decided to blank this page and replace all instances of the template with one of their own design. I cry foul, if you will. --Madcynic (talk) 09:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-04-22T09:30:00.000Z","author":"Madcynic","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Madcynic-2011-04-22T09:30:00.000Z-Contested_deletion","replies":["c-Calistemon-2011-04-23T00:14:00.000Z-Madcynic-2011-04-22T09:30:00.000Z"]}}-->

I agree, the new template is full of redlinks, unlike the current one. No need for a new template when this one could quite easily have been altered to include any additional links.

On top of this, the editor has also used the wrong speedy deletion template. Very clumsy!

I have altered the new template and will copy this discussion to its talk page, making this template page a redirect.
