 * High Desert Mavericks roster navbox

I don't feel it's appropriate to have a navbox for a Class A team. Most players in Class A are not notable. In this case, a few players have blurbs on Seattle Mariners minor league players, but are not considered notable based on WP:NSPORTS or WP:GNG. Of the two players who have full pages, one is dubious and might fail at AfD if taken there (Mario Martínez (baseball)). There are too many red links on this template for it to truly be useful. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:39, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete due to enormous scope. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 21:46, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Animation studios

This navigation template is over 12 kb of text alone. On top of that, it orders the content in essentially the same fashion as the category structure of Category:Animation studios (by location), something that should be avoided per WP:CLN.

I don't think there's any hope to save it, quite frankly. The content of each item is only loosely related to another item, which is another thing to avoid in navboxes per WP:CLN. Izno (talk) 03:21, 11 April 2013 (UTC)


 * The scope here is beyond that expected of a single navbox. If navigation templates are still desired here, they should be split on a continental basis (at the very least) and a master template used to navigate between continents.

 * The template used to be good as it was at first, since then it has got out of hand with IPs adding to it constantly. Revert them all.  Rcsprinter  (chatter)  @ 10:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * From what I can see, the additions made by the IPs in question are all perfectly valid (in that they are indeed animation studios). What you're suggesting is that you'd rather have an incomplete template which is missing arbitrary entries. Can you explain why? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:44, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have to be a completely comprehensive list; just pick out the most notable for each section and remove the rest, which will still be in the category for them.  Rcsprinter  (orate)  @ 12:11, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see value in either splitting it or in cherrypicking though. The items are still only the loosest of loose correlations beyond possibly implying language of the developers or animation style. There's nothing here in this template that either a) the list in the header of the navbox has in it, or b) the category has, and I don't think "reformation" by splitting it is a good choice. --Izno (talk) 13:05, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not opposed to eliminating this entirely on scope grounds. If it is to be kept, however, I'd rather it were comprehensive and split for sanity than monolithic and useless due to cherry-picking. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 14:02, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete after making sure all applicable articles are in Category:Animation studios and List of animation studios, or else Trim down to only the most notable studios and display them all at once, similar to . A navbox with this many sub-boxes is far too overwhelming and the purpose is better served by a different system. I also agree with nominator that the relation is way too loose. It's analogous to having a navbox of every fashion designer or software publisher. --Atlantima (talk) 16:51, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The scope is waaaaaay too wide. This is a category in template form. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 20:16, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Template has three levels of nesting if it is hidden on article pages. Far too wide in scope to be useful for navigation. --Jtalledo (talk) 20:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
