- Not in use. So no need to keep. WOSlinker (talk) 07:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- Traditionally, we've kept Olympic host city templates until the next Olympics comes around so that we can use it as a basis for the next Olympic template. Speaking of which, it may be time to create Template:Rio2016. Powers (talk) 20:38, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
- Does the template have really that much value? I created Pyeongchang_2018 without any such template. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 10:04, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
- Template:Pyeongchang2018 would go in Pyeongchang and any other cities with Olympic venues. Powers (talk) 02:39, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes... but I seem to be be missing something here. Given Template:Pyeongchang2018 never existed, why would it be of any value now that the article has been created? --Andrewssi2 (talk) 08:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- It has nothing to do with Pyeongchang 2018 except that the template links to it. The Olympic templates (such as Template:Sochi2014) are placed in the articles for host cities and cities with Olympic venues, in order to provide useful links and identify which venues are in the city.

- You can see an example of how Template:Sochi2014 was used here. Powers (talk) 19:14, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
- That sort of makes more sense in the example. Thanks. --Andrewssi2 (talk) 20:14, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

- Comment I don't have any strong opinion since this template is still referenced from a talk page and a few other places, but Wikivoyage:Deletion policy#Templates notes that if a template is unused then that is a valid reason to consider deleting it. -- Ryan • (talk) • 00:59, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
- Second comment Any further feedback? A few arguments were made in favor or keeping this template, but since there aren't any actual "keep" votes my interpretation of the discussion is that no one feels strongly about keeping the template, thus this VFD should be resolved as a delete? -- Ryan • (talk) • 06:38, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- We shouldn't delete it until we've created Template:Rio2016. Powers (talk) 02:34, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
- Keep, at least for now, as a model for future event templates. Peter Chastain (talk) 06:22, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Outcome: Kept. -- Ryan • (talk) • 22:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
