 * Infobox AU Legislation

Mostly the same parameters as Infobox legislation, so could easily merged. Moreover it uses bad styled HTML code instead of any wikimarkup. mabdul 19:53, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Funnyordie

Unused template that would only be used in very, very rare circumstances and even recommends no one use it. Odie5533 (talk) 04:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete: For the reasons stated above. JB82 (talk) 14:03, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. External link templates should only be necessary when it's okay to link numerous articles to a certain website. The opposite seems to apply here. --Jtalledo (talk) 21:21, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Humble Bundle

I believe the template falls under WP:NOTCATALOG. Also, WP:NAVBOX says that the article should refer to each other, and they should refer to the subject of the template. Humble Bundles are a nice sale, but not every video game needs to mention they were once sold in a humble bundle, and they would rarely if ever discuss the other games in the bundle on the page about one game. Amazon/Steam/GMG run indie bundles as well, but I don't think we should have a template for every one. Odie5533 (talk) 00:34, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Much better suited as categories or a list. --Conti|✉ 00:42, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not so much as a catalog issue (the promotions have been highlighted, and they are limited time scenarios, as opposed a vendor offering products), but I would follow the same logic that was outlined in Templates for discussion/Log/2012 December 7 Xbox Summer of Arcade deletions, which the rest of the nom's argument captures - there's not much cross discussion between games that are part of the same bundle thus not really a good navbox. Their inclusion in a HB is usually notable (in particularly, this usually assures Mac and Linux ports) so that's a notable fact to be included in the game article but the template's not needed for this (a category, otoh...) --M ASEM (t) 01:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is true this was a good categorization some time ago, especially with only indie bundles, but now it has gotten to the point of regular releases and not really that much worthier than generic store catalogs. Successful and unique indie used to be the determining factor, but we seem to be well beyond that (except things like Android/Linux ports). Agree with nom and Masem. — HELL KNOWZ  ▎TALK 22:02, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete per the reasonings provided by Masem and Odie5533, the nominator. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 20:55, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Large and unwieldy, it does not serve the original purpose of easing navigation. As pointed out, other methods exist to navigate between Humble Bundle games. --Jtalledo (talk) 20:41, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
