Template:Twice

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. No issues with recreation provided that there are actually pages to navigate to. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 05:37, 12 March 2016 (UTC) Too early to have their own template as the group is relatively new. Not enough links as they only released one EP and has just one member article.  Rocky smile 11 (talk) 20:33, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Twice
 * Keep. There's also List of awards and nominations received by Twice. Very likely that more links will be added. Navbox has been created a little prematurely, but why delete it now? It will likely only be recreated again in a month or so. Deleting it just creates more work. Better to keep it for now, I'd say. If there are still only four links in the box in a couple of years time, then bring it back. Cmeiqnj (talk) 21:26, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong delete this is not about twice -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:49, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * delete. can always be recreated if more articles are written (i.e., at least two more). Frietjes (talk) 15:06, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Frietjes said it. We don't need navigation templates that don't really navigate between much of anything. It takes up far less room to simply link these things in the article text.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:45, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:LA Metro station

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was merge, with LACMTA stations redirecting to LA Metro station. Primefac (talk) 05:41, 12 March 2016 (UTC) Propose merging Template:LA Metro station with Template:LACMTA stations.
 * LA Metro station
 * LACMTA stations

Essentially a duplicate of the earlier template. Regards, James(talk/contribs) 17:58, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Agree There seems no real reason to have two templates show the exact same thing. Calebrw (talk) 04:17, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Disagree Earlier this year, a consensus was reached to have a switch to the LA Metro template, due to the fact that people may not know what the LACMTA is. It is for simplicity's sake. The LACMTA template is the one that should be deleted, as it is no longer the agency's common name. TJH2018 (talk) 17:20, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Merge but the other way around, per TJH2018.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:46, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:People of the Sengoku period

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was listify the samurai and daimyo sections, keeping the rest. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 06:27, 12 March 2016 (UTC) This template is unreadably long, a category in navbox format. It's much longer than many of the articles it's used in. Delete, but allow userfy if somebody wants to convert it to a list or category.  Sandstein  17:21, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * People of the Sengoku period
 * Listify convert into a list article -- 70.51.46.39 (talk) 06:50, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't know whether this is what is meant by listify, but I think the two problematic sections are obviously the daimyo and samurai. If they were turned into links to "list of samurai" and "list of daimyo", then the navbox can be kept to an appropriate size. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 00:42, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * 70.51.46.39 said what it means: "convert into a list article".  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Either compress per Athomeinkobe, or listify per 70.51.46.39. Nom is correct that it's unusably huge.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:48, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 06:30, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Cabanatuan Radio
 * Dumaguete City Radio
 * La Union Radio
 * Tarlac Radio
 * Delete all. No useful navigation. Sixth of March 14:05, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: Established practice used in other markets. Though I'd change them to function like the versions for US markets. ViperSnake151   Talk  02:36, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
 * See WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS. Not all broadcasting markets are meaningfully comparable.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Too few actual articles, so these serve no real navigation function. It will take up far less room to just list them in a horizontal see-also section.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:50, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all per the two above. 121.54.54.171 (talk) 04:43, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

Template:Kin'yō Dorama

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 06:36, 12 March 2016 (UTC) per WP:TG, "templates used in articles are designed to provide information to assist readers". Templates should also not be used to create lists of links. In this case, a list of links that are almost all red links. The useful links should be removed and added to a list within the article. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Kin'yō Dorama
 * Convert to list article, or delete. This is worse than useless as a navbox.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  22:52, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
