- Draftify no use for now, but I speak fluent French and I would like to use this template to create the articles by translating the French articles. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:39, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Contains 7 useful blue links in the header and footer (not counting the main article) and 3 blue links to diplomatic missions in the body. As L293D said, more links can become blue by translating the French articles, so the number of blue links will grow. Luis150902 (talk | contribs) 12:10, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep. Contains 15 blue links to diplomatic missions in the body, and all other links are Interlanguage links referring to French articles, and this is a common procedure in Wikipedia. As L293D and Luis150902 said, more links can become blue by translating the French articles, so the number of blue links will grow. Zouaoui16 (talk | contribs) 21:20, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- This is why WP:EXISTING says you should create the pages before creating the navbox - GalatzTalk 20:38, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Do you have an example of this "common practice"? I have never seen them on any other template, and I just spot checked 5 other diplomatic mission templates, none of links to another language and none have red links. - GalatzTalk 20:44, 27 March 2018 (UTC)
- Keep It is clear that the issue with active links has diminished since nomination, and I presume it will continue to do so. WP:EXISTING has an important caveat (my emphasis): "Red links and redirects should normally be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles".

Not enough links. Just one. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 18:08, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
