The result of the discussion was Withdrawn/redirect to Template:Soft drink. I just discovered the existence of Template:Soft drink, and it has a number of transclusions. For that reason, I'm going to redirect this WP:BOLDly. Steel1943 ( talk) 21:31, 6 August 2017 (UTC) reply

This template is a navbox with only 1 transclusion. Most, if not all, articles linked in this navbox have other navboxes already present in them which encompass the links in this navbox, making this navbox redundant and possibly unnecessary. Steel1943 ( talk) 19:17, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply

was nominated for speedy deletion because the site referred to is currently dead. I have no idea whether it will return, but hope this will stop the nominator from edit warring over the speedy tag. — Kusma ( t· c) 10:05, 3 August 2017 (UTC) reply

  • In the first place, the PhDTree home page is dead and buried, and that alone should be sufficient reason to get rid of this Wikipedia page. Note that this page is the only contribution its author, User:Jack1898 , has ever made which immediately raises the suspicion that the only purpose of this page's existence is nothing but self-promotion i.e.: it is spam; that alone should raise a huge red flag.
    Secondly, the PhDTree.org domain stands accused of spamming, see Scientific Spam Once again, that alone should suffice to zap this page: AFAIK Wikipedia has always taken a dim view of spammers, or is that perhaps changed since I left?
    In the third place, PhDTree is notorious for plagiarism. It started of by wholesale copying the entire Mathematics Genealogy Project and the Academic Family Tree, and Proquest databases, and perhaps some other websites as well, without any acknowledgement whatsoever. I could demonstrate that in a minute if PhDTree were still alive. Clearcut case of plagiarism, Once again, it has always been my understanding that Wikipedia takes a dim view of plagiarism.
