Fails WP:NAVBOX 4 and WP:TG. Unnecessary template that is more appropriate as a category. torri2(talk/contribs) 21:05, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * LGBT web series


 * This is not the only navbox to mirror a category; even WP:NAVBOX concedes that navigation is faster with a navbox vs a category (Advantages, 2). I was navigating among these articles and created the template out of my own natural desire for am "easier way", perhaps you would call it an exception, but there are topics like these which are likely to be of specific interest and we should encourage effortless navigation. Is your primary objection the absence of LGBT-related web series (or LGBT web series) as an article?&mdash; TAnthonyTalk 21:29, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete None of the articles are related TO EACH OTHER.68.148.186.93 (talk) 23:55, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsuitable scope for a navbox, this would be a category.  As the IP points out, they are not related to one another.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 11:22, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Templates are useful if the topics are directly related to each other, such as web series that were made by the same production company. They're not so valuable if they group otherwise unrelated topics on a characteristic that's already the subject of a category for the same characteristic. Delete.

Redundant to have one horizontal and other vertical template. I suppose vertical is much preferable here as those slick bars fit well on generic articles and lists where these templates are being used. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:37, 29 July 2015 (UTC)
 * oppose - there are times when a sidebar navigation template is more appropriate for a particular article and times when a bottom navigation template is more appropriate.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  22:10, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Examples? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:29, 31 July 2015 (UTC)


 * merge, if there really is a need for both, I can code them support both formats. I really don't care which format is kept, but we clearly don't need both. Frietjes (talk) 20:20, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was merge. —  Earwig   talk 20:20, 6 August 2015 (UTC) In the article namespace, only one page, Geologic time scale, uses this template. There are other related navigational boxes around to serve other articles about geology or time scale. IMO this template can be substituted to the only article using it, and then delete the template.
