 * Ernie Davis Award

This template notes the winner of a minor college football award that does not even have its own article. It's not significant enough to warrant a navbox. Jweiss11 (talk) 05:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete not a notable enough award for a template.--Yankees10 17:48, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete - A quick review of the WP:NAVBOX criteria reveals that (1) there is no stand-alone article regarding the subject of this navbox, (2) 40% of the award recipients are red links, (3) not a single one of the 12 articles where this navbox is transcluded even so much as mentions the award in either the main body text or infobox, let alone verifies the award with an inline footnote to a reliable source.  Conclusion: non-notable or marginally notable minor college sports award that does not merit a navbox.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:30, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

 * HKafter1997

It is mostly about political events after 1997 and it is insufficient to tell the full picture of the most important events and it is impossible for a template to do this. Some unimportant events are there such as the Occupy Central (2011–12) and the SARS epidemic is not here. It is not even in chronologically and unorganized.

 * Comment this is missing the nomination banner -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:42, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I just tagged it. I see the nom's point, but would like to think about it before !voting. Is it meant to cover only political history? —PC-XT+ 05:09, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Even if it covers only political history, it still lacks many important political events. Lmmnhn (talk) 09:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * If you think it lacks important political events, would you be amenable if we add them, re-categorize them, or otherwise improve the template, rather than deleting it? You are also welcome to improve the template yourself. The template is a very convenient way to navigate Hong Kong events since the 1997 handover. Colipon+ (Talk) 13:38, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, I would love to. But then I am only the one who always want to re-categorize the related templates and got into edit wars with other users which really put me off trying to improve largely on the templates. But since you are asking, I will try to do it now. Lmmnhn (talk) 13:55, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I won't edit war, don't worry. Colipon+ (Talk) 14:02, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep for now, while work is being done on it. In a few years, or if there are too many items, it may get large enough to split, but it seems ok for now. —PC-XT+ 02:00, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
