 * ECAC Lacrosse League navbox

This NCAA men's lacrosse-only league folded after the 2013-14 season. This template has a redirect that should be deleted along with it. Precedence for templates like this here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Dafoeberezin3494 (talk) 17:58, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Vandalisim detected

Really bad idea per WP:DENY among many other reasons Jackmcbarn (talk) 14:38, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete. The template is a vandal magnet. (That, and the word "vandalism" is spelled wrong in the template's title.) Steel1943  (talk) 16:52, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete for above reasons, as it doesn't seem to help the situation —PC-XT+ 05:09, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Redundant with Template:Meddle, which has more coverage than the track list alone. ©  Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 04:42, 29 September 2014 (UTC) ©   Tb hotch ™ (en-2.5). 04:42, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep deletion is premature, the index still exists ; Suggest renomination next year, in January 2015, after the index is shutdown (31 Dec 2014). -- 65.94.171.225 (talk) 05:18, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This should be deleted after the shutdown, but it can remain until then. Maybe a message could be added that the link will not last. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">—PC-XT+ 05:25, 30 September 2014 (UTC) 05:31, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Ilgwang Polaris Entertainment

The record label/agency is non-notable and does not have an article. Readers are unlikely to want to navigate between singers/actors signed to the company, so their links should be removed. The partner companies do not even mention the company in their articles, so they are not needed, which leaves one red link for another non-notable group. Aspects (talk) 02:50, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

I've cleaned this up, but the template is still full of redlinks, and from AFD discussions on some of the redlinks, it doesn't appear as if many of them will turn blue - indeed some of the blue links may also be deleted. NSH002 (talk) 22:35, 10 September 2014 (UTC) <hr style="width:55%;" />
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

<hr style="width:55%;" />
 * It is mostly redlinks. I suppose the navigation could be reduced to only blue links, or it could be deleted. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">—PC-XT+ 05:37, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
 * clean up, then reconsider. it seems there still are quite a few blue links. Frietjes (talk) 22:31, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Rutgers New Brunswick

Template:Rutgers should be the parent template of all Rutgers articles, not this. Kai445 (talk) 16:04, 21 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose, in part. I agree that Template:Rutgers should exist for the Rutgers University page, but the Template:Rutgers New Brunswick is only found on that respective page.  It adds links not found on the Rutgers University template.  Similarly the Template:Rutgers Camden and Template:Rutgers Newark add links specific to those campuses....Pvmoutside (talk) 05:57, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: Instead of just deleting the navboxes for the 3 campuses, which are relevant because they have links pertinent to these regional locations, why don't we try to incorporate it into the main Rutgers navbox with collapsible groups, something akin to the U Michigan example on the the template page, Template:Navbox with collapsible groups (see Basic example)? The main Rutgers navbox is already sort of bulky. I would be willing to work on this if anyone is interested. static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ  12:46, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree with static shakedown and Pvmoutside, the collapsible template would be acceptable to me. -Kai445 (talk) 17:21, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
 * So, User:Staticshakedown/sandbox/Rutgers is what the navbox would look like with the regional campuses as collapsible groups. Not sure I like this option either. What do you think? static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ 23:48, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
