These templates should all be deleted per past precedent. A similar set of navboxes were deleted in December 2011 for the state of Michigan, and another set was deleted in July 2012 for the state of Washington. In this case, none of these navboxes are currently used, the articles should have Category:Transportation in Appling County, Georgia and the like to bind the articles together.

 * Delete WP:NENAN. Also, articles that cross the state will have a ton of these. --Rschen7754 05:46, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Navigational boxes' starter's rationale: Keep (but only after copyediting) As I have stated before, I believe that every highway in every state/territory should have these type of navigational boxes. However, if you guys feel so strongly about it, what are you going to do with the ones in Texas? I think that is a much bigger animal to deal with than Georgia (which wasn't even halfway through being completed when you balked at my task). Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 11:26, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * So you're saying that we should create over 3000 of these, one for every county in the US? Then to be fair we have to get every subdivision in every country in the world too, gotta remember that systemic bias thing. --Rschen7754 11:30, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, for the US, anyway. I didn't say anything about the rest of the world. What do you mean by "systemic bias"? Allen (Morriswa) (talk) 11:36, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * WP:NPOV means that we can't treat different parts of the world differently just because we are more familiar with them. This is a global encyclopedia, not just a US/UK/Canada/Australia encyclopedia. So you're talking upwards of 10,000 navboxes. --Rschen7754 11:55, 7 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom and WP:NENAN. –Fredddie™ 12:05, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete all. I don't understand the purpose of these. One can just put a list of state highways within a given county in that county's article (some of them do that already), and we already list the counties a highway passes through in junction lists. --Polaron | Talk 13:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. I do not have a strong opinion on whether to keep or delete these templates; I will accept whatever the consensus is. However, I am concerned about how combative the discussion is, particularly the theme of "if we do not get rid of these, idiots will run amok and create thousands more." That is not helpful in either coming to consensus or attracting new editors. Finally, a question: Assuming the result of this TdD is to delete the Georgia templates, are there TfDs in the works for the templates for Texas, Maryland, and any other route-by-county navbox templates?

 * Delete all - Unnecessary navboxes that are handled better by categories.  Dough 48  72  23:56, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete all - These are kinda pointless. These counties are served just as well by the categories that take up much less space. T  C  N7 JM  23:10, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There is surely a more practical way for those (utterly imaginary, by the way) editors who enjoy browsing our huge collection of articles on roads in Georgia than a navbox. Quite honestly here, this is NENAN territory if only because nobody in their right mind is ever going to make use of these. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:19, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
