Template:Askiisoft

 * 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. Salvidrim!  ·  &#9993;  06:14, 20 July 2017 (UTC) Template has only one link. Therefore it does not satisfy the purpose of a navbox, which is to hold links for multiple related articles. The1337gamer (talk) 20:39, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Askiisoft
 * I think you jumped the gun a little here, I had just created the other article in question. I would ask you to please retract this now that the article has been created.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:41, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think you jumped the gun in creating this template... Two articles is still small for a navigation template to be necessary. Just add a wikilink in a See Also section. The subject of the template, Askiisoft, doesn't have an article either (WP:NAVBOX). --The1337gamer (talk) 20:51, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * There are plenty of indie game developers that have nav boxes for all their games and no articles. I don't see what harm it is doing by existing. A "see also" link would not make it clear that the games have the same developer.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 20:54, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, the WP:NAVBOX guidelines you mentioned are suggested guidelines and only some of them need to apply. Something does not have to have an article about it to have a navbox.ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:00, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * The purpose of navigation boxes is to provide navigation between multiple related articles. If an article has one other related article, then a template really isn't necessary. A link in the See Also section is sufficient. --The1337gamer (talk) 21:03, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * delete, no parent article. connecting two articles can be accomplished with standard "see also" and "in article" linking. Frietjes (talk) 13:10, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Template:Kyūshū Collegiate American Football Association navbox

 * 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. I will move it to userspace in the event that more team articles are created, or in case someone wants to merge the content with another template. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 23:54, 22 July 2017 (UTC) The template mostly links universities not the teams. Actual football links are just two and that isn't enough. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:55, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Does not provide useful navigation.  --Rob Sinden (talk) 15:32, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * comment, looks like there are many more like this one, if you look at the bottom of 2016 JAFA Division I football season. may be useful to merge some of these. Frietjes (talk) 17:26, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Did I check incorrectly or these were quickly fixed since the 5th <abbr title="Smiling face" style="border-bottom: none;">Face-smile.svg ; I also see that the above poster said "substituted" not "transcluded", so I may have misread. In any case, if a new template now replaces this one, or this one is really no longer used, by humans, bots or tools, the substituted uses don't matter and will not be affeted by the deletion.  I find only one transclusion in the search but when I visit it it's not there, so it seems irrelevant.  — Paleo  Neonate  - 18:48, 8 July 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) Winged Blades Godric  09:35, 21 July 2017 (UTC) There are 47 central universities and 364 state universities in India. Not to speak of hundreds more universities and countles "educational institutes". Clearly, a nav box isn't going to include them all. That's why we have List of state universities in India and various other lists. This makes this navbox misleading and pointless, especially in it's current form.
