What is the reason for deletion. What makes this navbox different from numerous others associated with women's college basketball that are not. Articles exist for two of the coaches. That's one more article than several others that I looked at. I would think that if this navbox is flagged for deletion, the others should be also. Here's a quick list of others meeeting the same criteria of "just two pages". Boston College Eagles - two; Connecticut Huskies - one; Duke Blue Devils - one; Georgia Lady Bulldogs - two; Hofstra Pride - two; Iowa Hawkeyes - two; Iowas State Cyclones - one; Liberty Lady Flames - one; Michigan State Spartans - two; Mississippi State Lady Bulldogs - two; Nebraska Cornhuskers - one; North Dakota State Bisons - one; Notre Dame Fighting Irish - one; Ohio Bobcats - two; Oregon State Beavers - two; Sam Houston State Bearkats - two; San Diego State Aztecs - two; San Diego Toreros - one; St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers - one; Syracuse Orange - two

 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not considered a valid argument against deletion. The purpose of a Navbox is to navigate between multiple articles on a related topic. The conensus of multiple TFDs is that two links isn't enough and that templates shouldn't be created till the articles are created.  Since you brought the other templates to my attention, I will go through them and see any should also be nominated. Right this minute, I don't have the time....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
 * If that's the case and consensus, I have no problems with deleting the navbox for now as long as the WP:TOOSOON criteria is applied equitably. As a guideline, what would be considered enough articles to warrant creating a navbox?  There are at least two other coaches for this particular navbox who I think would qualify for an article or at least an article with several coaches listed. One of those coaches (Al Barbre) took the team to the 1991 NCAA Division I Tournament Elite Eight.  The team was pretty much a "Cinderella" team in that tournament with wins over the Texas, LSU, and Arkansas teams.  Another coach on the list, Pat Park, was a very successful head coach for several women's sports in the early days of women's college sports.  She's a member of the National Collegiate Golf Coaches Association Hall of Fame and received several other honors over her coaching career.  Here's a link to a recent article about Coach Park.
 * I don't know whether or not the remaining coaches would warrant a standalone article. They would probably warrant being included in an article covering several coaches.  I held off creating the two articles I thought met a materiality test (Park and Barbre) because sufficient citations aren't available over the internet.  Those two coaches along with several others were before the internet.  I will need to go to printed media or microfiches of that media from back in the day to provide supporting sources.  I think lack of easily accessible electronic sources is most likely the challenge for a lot, if not all, of the coaches in the other navboxes listed above.
 * Thanks for your help.LUSportsFan (talk) 22:17, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete Miami FC squad and then move Miami FC (2016) squad there. These are unrelated pages, so the page history of Miami FC squad doesn't need to be preserved and there's no merging to be done. Clearly Miami FC squad is more useful as the home of the 2016 team's template than as a redirect. ~ RobTalk 22:46, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
