Navbox created without a single link to list some of the concerts held at Ohio Stadium. None of these concerts are notable by themselves, and such a navbox scheme would really clutter the tour pages if included there. Information now included directly in article and template is unused.

 * Delete per nom. No link, mere clutter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiCopter (talk • contribs) 05:26, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Arsenikk is right:  Every single datum is located in Ohio Stadium.  This is a reformat of information and this is not what templates are used for.Curb Chain (talk) 07:57, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned template. I've been merging the related articles (some were deleted this winter) into a list, which does not need a template to go with it. Izno (talk) 19:06, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Redundant to Elliott Smith. A prior TfD in January had only 3 participants, and I believe the consensus was misread: the only one who argued to keep was the creator, on the basis of "I think vertical templates are easier to navigate". Why do we need a second navbox for this artist, and why should it be in a different format from the standard navbox that all other articles use? This should be deleted. IllaZilla (talk) 14:43, 29 May 2011 (UTC) If this box is kept, relevant articles should be limited to exactly one navbox, not both Elliott Smith Vertical and Elliott Smith. / edg ☺ ☭ 15:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: There is already a horizontal and collapsible Elliot Smith template. There are already infoboxes for albums, songs and artists that will go on every conceivable page. This is unnecessary and visually confusing.-- SabreBD  (talk)  15:38, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment This template is very handsome. The creator's stated intention was to boldly improve on the current (ugly, practical) navboxes and see if it catches on in other musician articles. I would prefer this navbox, but right-aligned templates tend to collide with images and other standard infoboxes (such at Template:Infobox musical artist), so this would need more consideration (placement standards at least) to be practical.
 * Whether it's "handsome" is a matter of taste and personal preference. The purpose of a navbox is to facilitate inter-article navigation, not to decorate articles. Part of that utility is a consistent look and navigation system, which is more practical when we're talking about a type of template (musical artist navbox) that's used across hundreds of thousands of articles. Personally I don't think that "simple" and "practical" equate to "ugly", my feeling is that utility is preferable to decor (imagine trying to create a consistent look for this type of navbox for the tens of thousands of musical artists we cover). Boldness is fine, but I think that if a significant number of editors have grievances with the prevailing system for musical artist navboxes then it ought to be brought up at WT:WPMU for community discussion. Even if this is a test case, the template is over 2 years old so it doesn't look like the idea's caught on over the prevailing system. --IllaZilla (talk) 16:10, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: The horizontal template, which is the more conventional type of template, makes this one redundant. Backtable Speak to meconcerning my deeds. 18:08, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Neutral template:elliott smith vertical does not have as many links as template:elliot smith, adding all the links on template:elliot smith onto template:elliot smith vertical may occupy too much space on template:elliot smith vertical.Curb Chain (talk) 07:44, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete If someone had the idea of "pretty-ing up" artist infoboxes this may be a way to start, but not as a navbox added onto multiple pages that have their own infoboxes as well. Elliott Smith serves its purpose. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Delete. Feel free to nominate the Beatles template in a separate discussion since the author of that template has not been notified. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 02:39, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Only one transclusion, not necessary. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:47, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
