after this discussion, the single year All-NBA Team templates were deleted here, and these decade versions were never deployed. suggesting we delete these, since there does not appear to be consensus to use them. Frietjes (talk) 21:54, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Songs for the Bhoys

Sorry, I just don't see the usefulness of this one. Is this album really important enough that this collection of folk songs and football anthems should be tied together on articles? Not everything needs a navbox. BDD (talk) 19:00, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * sms
 * Hidden sort key

Propose merging Template:Sms with Template:Hidden sort key.

Originally proposed here. Waldir talk 14:58, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * support, the major difference is that the sms template prefixes the sortkey with an & but given the low number of transclusions (under 50), we can fix those by hand before the redirect. there may be a good reason to just delete the sms template since sms has many meanings, but I have no strong opinion on that. Frietjes (talk) 16:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Agree with conversion of current uses and otherwise incoming links followed by deletion. Question: is there an explanation for the &amp;? --Waldir talk 17:45, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * as far as the & goes, I know nts and ntsh use it when sorting negative numbers to make them sort before the positive numbers. other than that, I don't know why it's needed here.  if you look at sort, it doesn't use it.  Frietjes (talk) 19:18, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 *  do not Merge by redirecting, and stop. User:Frietjes is editing like this with es: "per the most probable outcome of this discussion"? Stop that. That is not a way to conclude and effectuate a discussion. -DePiep (talk) 22:37, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Exact same reason as the other one. Even worse, who's "main" and who's "supporting"? Its truly an indiscriminate judgement call. oknazevad (talk) 04:29, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Same as the TMNT one, goes against long-standing consensus, and is a random collection of actors who have never actually worked together. oknazevad (talk) 04:25, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Per the long-standing consensus at WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers/Consensus summaries that actor navboxes shouldn't be made. Especially when this attempts to list actors who have nothing to do with each other as they appeared on different productions of the same property upwards of 20 years apart. oknazevad (talk) 04:17, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Clip shows are among the least notable episodes of any series, including The Simpsons. I don't see how this bit of simpsoncruft is necessary or useful for navigation. szyslak ( t ) 02:35, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
