I support the removal of the first appearance template for two reasons:
 * 1) Being listed in chronological order is sufficient.
 * 2) The use of the template creates inconsistency in articles with one appearance. Some people feel compelled to add it, while others feel compelled to remove it. Monitoring its use to regulate this problem would require time and effort that could be better spent on other matters.
