Transmitter template[edit]

I added the {{Transmitter}} template to the external links section of this article back in 2012 with two successive edits. At the time, I was under the impression it was one of the standard external links used for radio station articles -- similar to {{FMQ}} (FCC query), {{FMARB}} (Arbitron query), {{FML}} (Radio-Locator profile), etc. However, I've since learned that this template is mostly limited to radio station articles in the Cleveland radio market, and has never been widely adopted by WP:WPRS or the larger WP community. More importantly, this template, which merely links to the transmitter's coordinates on Google Maps, is completely redundant to {{coord}} in the infobox, a template which has much greater functionality, and is which is nearly universally used in broadcast station articles. As such, I have removed this redundant "Transmitter" template from this article; the template itself is currently nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2014_February_10#Template:Transmitter. Please do not hesitate to share any thoughts or concerns you may have, both here and at the deletion discussion. Levdr1lp / talk 02:12, 11 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
