Only use is in the article Little Lebowski Urban Achievers, which is up for deletion here. Ckatz chat spy  17:30, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - The article above is a pretty obvious WP:HOAX, so when it is deleted, the template needs to go as well. — Travis talk  18:49, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Currently single use; and redundant to more generic settlement templates, with which that one use should be replaced. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 09:53, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, per nominator's points. – sebi 10:05, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. This should be replaced with either the standard Infobox Settlement or its sister template: Infobox German Location. &mdash;MJCdetroit 01:22, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Just switched the single page using this template to the German Location template. - 52 Pickup 06:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Completely redundant to the navbox that appears within Template:Villagepumppages. Suggest deletion. --Quiddity 04:54, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, from what it looks like to me, it doesn't have much of a purpose, other than to link to pages already linked on Villagepumppages. – sebi 07:34, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, redundant.  &gt; R a d i a n t &lt;  13:13, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Redundant, and the other navbox looks so much cooler. Harryboyles 13:21, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Only useful to lazy scrollers with short viewports; looks untidy next to the links at the top of the other template.  Adrian  M. H.  15:44, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete – the other incarnations are a good idea; this one, however, is redundant to villagepumppages, as explained in the nom. statement. Anthøny  18:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Harryboyles et. al. Shalom Hello 20:58, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I suggest we delete the other “cooler” navbox instead. This one takes up less space and doesn't have the unnecessary image and post links.  — The Storm Surfer 03:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * But this template looks messy/confusing next to the "Skip to: ..." navbar directly below it. And isn't prominent enough without the size/image of the traditional navbox. --Quiddity 03:36, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That seems pretty subjective. I think the other option looks messier, and I don't find it confusing.  You might be right about prominence, but I'm not really sure.  Is it necessary for the navbox on the village pump subpages (which is what they are, despite the naming convention) to be prominent?  Don't people looking for a village pump go to Village pump? — The Storm Surfer 04:27, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Maybe we should remove the navbox from the village pump pages instead - having the menu at the top is more convenient, and consistent with Wikipedia's main navbars.  Th e Tr ans hu man ist    22:51, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, delete the other. Delete, redesign Template:Villagepump pages I prefer this one a lot. Perhaps the whole header section should be combined into 1 template with a parameter for each section. Atropos 22:55, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see that the other nav is included in the main template already. I suggest redesigning Template:Villagepumppages to look a little less messy. Atropos 23:00, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and redesign Template:Villagepumppages so lazy scrollers can have the links at the top and not after several pages of FAQ, as seen on Village pump (technical). The other village pumps are less overwhelmed by a FAQ section. Carcharoth 16:25, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. The links are now at the top of Template:Villagepumppages.  W ODU P  03:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, per merge. --Quiddity 17:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. replaceable by Villagepumppages. Carlosguitar 01:41, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Single series version of Infobox Television episode, unused, time to delete. Jay32183 03:22, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unused, serves no purposes. – sebi 07:36, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Keep. Mike Peel 00:29, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Following the adoption of infoboxes for air forces, there was a discussion about the use of infoboxes and sidebars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Royal_Air_Force#Infoboxes_and_sidebars) during which I changed my mind. As a result, I started the Template:Royal Air Force which sits at the bottom of approximately the same pages as this template. One thing I haven't changed my mind about is that making use of both infoboxes and sidebars is needles duplication. Worse still, this template and the Royal Air Force template give further duplication. Greenshed 19:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. This is just as good as the Army & Navy ones not up for deletion, I think as a matter of Aesthetics it should be Template:Royal Air Force that is deleted Highfields 17:37, 11 August 2007 (UTC)


 * At present the British Army and Royal Navy articles do not use infoboxes and so the problem has not arisen. However, the United States Air Force uses both an infobox and a sidebar (but note - no bottom box) and, I submit, that its layout could be improved.  As regards aesthetics, we can always improve the look of the "Royal Air Force" template. Greenshed 23:08, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,


 * Keep - All British defence force articles use the side bar. Not only British; French Navy, United States Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force use this format.  I suspect that all defence force articles use this method.  It is Template:Royal Air Force that creates the duplication and so it is the one that should be deleted. --Bill Reid | Talk 08:08, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * It might be worth looking at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, although I appreciate that it's about articles, not templates. Greenshed 19:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I completely agree with Bill Reid, As I see it it is 2 against 1 and so the template stays. Highfields 10:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
 * KeepLinks many articles together in a clear logical way. Dfrg.msc 07:28, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
