Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 01:16, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Alpha Phi Alpha Founders

Delete as redundant. This template is limited, and cannot be expanded, as it is only used on seven bio pages and at the bottom of the main Alpha Phi article. Those seven bios are wikilinked in the founding section of the Alpha Phi article and also have their own category, Category:Alpha Phi Alpha founders. Therefore, they are already appropriately (and more cleanly) crosslinked without this template. MSJapan (talk) 15:30, 19 August 2011 (UTC) 
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete The template at most should be an embedded list.  Coverage has sufficed.Curb Chain (talk) 20:17, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. It seems that the seven founders are notable mainly for being founders; a navbox linking them is therefore quite useful, and more user-friendly than a category. Ucucha (talk) 15:33, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Alpha Phi Alpha General Presidents

This template should be deleted because it is really a single use template being used on biographical articles of certain Presidents of the Fraternity (but only 5 have articles). This would make a lot more sense as a list in the Alpha Phi Alpha article (where it does not currently exist ad should as a matter of course), and perhaps more so because it is drawn from only one source.

 * Embedded listify If this is necessary, the template should be listified into the article.  Such a template is forum shopping.Curb Chain (talk) 20:19, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I did that, actually, because I felt that it was of more value to have the information within the article than at the end of it. MSJapan (talk) 05:36, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. This seems a legitimate navbox to link related articles. Can't see why this would be "forum shopping". Ucucha (talk) 15:31, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: Yes, but my point is that out of the 20+ names, only five have articles in the first place. So there's not much "related" to nav to in the first place. MSJapan (talk) 05:36, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Samira Said

This template about the songs and albums of an artist (all red links) is used in only one article Tachfin (talk) 11:34, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's not much use having a navbox when all the links that matter are red. It can come back when someone writes articles about Said's albums and singles, assuming they are notable. Ucucha (talk) 15:29, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Support the Troops ribbon

Only used by one user, doesn't warrant a template. The Evil IP address (talk) 10:24, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Curious that an international template doesn't mention which troops. Delete. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or battleground. Lightmouse (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

We still don't censor images, even though some people would like to see that coming. The Evil IP address (talk) 10:22, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete good catch.  I guess it wasn't deleted because not many people speak Arabic here.  Violates WP:DISCLAIMCurb Chain (talk) 20:11, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
