WP:NENAN, Links only 3 articles. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - reasonable enough for an aid to navigation. - The Bushranger One ping only 01:27, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - NENAN is a highly contested essay. This is a useful navbox that meets all of the criteria established in the relevant guideline. Neelix (talk) 03:18, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I would argue that NENAN is generally accepted, though not universally. The opposition that does exist against it is not of the level to make it a "highly contested" essay. — This, that, and the other (talk) 11:50, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Navbox has 5 articles, four of which now do not link to all of the albums. Woven & Spun makes 6.--Jax 0677 (talk) 03:37, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Shimoga

Incomplete navigational template with zero transclusions. If the creator intends to expand this, a move to userspace may be preferable to deletion.  Super Mario  Man  22:08, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Better similar template exists. Magioladitis (talk) 09:23, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Help!

This template is practically redundant with Template:help, if not technically (it seems to be intended for use in articlespace, which strikes me as a poor way to do things). This effectively qualifies it for WP:TFD #2, particularly because the template it is redundant to uses a tracking category to ensure request visibility. BigNate37(T) 22:08, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have replaced its only transclusion with a more appropriate template. BigNate37(T) 22:15, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

The non-free use rationale and licence of a file description page that does not seem to exist - not an actual file description template. Unused and untranscluded.  Super Mario  Man  22:00, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was Deleted. G3 as a blatant hoax. The Bushranger One ping only 01:31, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * San Francisco Dogs

Article in template namespace. Either about an obscure work of fiction or a hoax, as a Google search of "San Francisco Dogs" turns up nothing that is clearly connected to what is described here.  Super Mario  Man  21:43, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Cutterpillow tracks

Completely unnecessary and excessive. used on only one article and fails to navigate to anywhere else. To view the full tracklist one can just link to Cutterpillow from the same article. [As an aside, what do people feel about these tracklist templates in general? There seem to have been a number of them created recently.] Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 16:23, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm ambivalent about the existence of tracklist templates, but if we are going to have them, I wonder if they shouldn't have their own category (e.g. perhaps?), as they are quite different to the other templates in . DH85868993 (talk) 04:43, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 * delete as providing no real additional navigational value. we should have a category for them. Frietjes (talk) 15:58, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: I've created the category Category:Album track list templates for such templates. I didn't realize there were so many of them. I've nominated a few others as I've been going through them. Not sure of the need for those for a 12-track album with articles for only three of its songs, but that's for another discussion. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 18:17, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Grounded

Unlikely scenario. Only a few people have ever used this.  Rcsprinter  (articulate)  @ 09:25, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. It can be used, and though it is kind of silly, like lots, it is there for as a useful template for editors. TBrandley 05:07, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep – This template should be considered under a "looser" interpretation of normal criteria,  just like the other message box templates in Category:Wikibreak templates.  The template is not offensive or disruptive, and doesn't violate any Wikipedia policy. For these reasons, there is no compelling reason to delete. <span style="border-bottom: 2px solid #F40; font-family:Cambria, serif;">Senator2029&#8239;•&#8239;talk 06:07, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
