The result of the discussion was keep - there are enough articles where he's the principal actor and not part of a large team. (nac) Alakzi (talk) 01:13, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Rob Pike navbox

Template creep: navbox that summarizes the CV of an (admittedly high-profile) computer programmer. All articles linked from this template already link to Pike and many of them have several other navboxes. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 08:18, 21 May 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I don't understand where Template Creep applies—there's but a single template on the page, and the "Avoid template creep" essay is about "the tendency for some Wikipedia articles ... to become gradually cluttered with templates". Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 08:34, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
 * There are three navboxes on Go (programming language). There are also three on Plan 9 from Bell Labs, as apparently nobody has bothered to add the Ken Thompson navbox to it. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 19:54, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * ... and UTF-8 has four. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 19:56, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You're saying that three navboxes is too many? That's a bit hard to swallow—it's not even enough to justify a navboxes. Curly Turkey ¡gobble! 20:13, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - There appear to be enough articles with strong enough ties to support a navbox. Sometimes people will want to go from one subject to another without going through Pike's article; the navbox allows this. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 04:19, 23 May 2015 (UTC)

 * Infobox Rabbi/doc

Template:Infobox Rabbi is a redirect to Template:Infobox Jewish leader (it was changed to a redirect with this edit of 16 November 2009), and this is left as an orphan. Si Trew (talk). The redirect itself is only used on three pages, but that's a case for WP:RFD. 07:11, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
