Template:Chris Cottrell (American Basketball Coach)

 * 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; deleted as G2 by AnomieBOT ⚡  13:07, 27 March 2017 (UTC) For some unknown reason, a Speedy Deletion of this template has been declined. Exemplo347 (talk) 21:02, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Chris Cottrell (American Basketball Coach)
 * Speedy close, give the creator a chance to expand their article (it was CSD-tagged only a minute after creation). If they do expand it – move away from the template namespace. If they don't – delete per WP:A7. – Uanfala (talk) 21:19, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Admin note - I'm not going to close this and then wait to see if they don't do anything with it so that we can bring it back to TFD. Request to close declined. I have, however, notified the creator of the reason why their template was nominated. I think a week is sufficient time for them to respond. Primefac (talk) 21:27, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * At the least, that wouldn't be the right venue: if the article doesn't get speedy deleted, then any discussion about it will have to take place at WP:AFD. – Uanfala (talk) 21:34, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Articles don't belong in template space. There was another such instance of this within the last month but I can't remember the topic....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 12:22, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I see at least 4-5 of these a week. Something is leading new users to create their articles in template space, not idea what. Usually I just move without redirect to articlespace and apply whatever deletion process fits. &mdash; Train2104 (t • c) 16:09, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 19:31, 1 April 2017 (UTC) There is consensus that youth national team squads are not needed. — Michael (talk) 17:32, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Rhode Island Rams 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 merge to Template:University of Rhode Island. Primefac (talk) 19:29, 1 April 2017 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Rhode Island Rams navbox with Template:University of Rhode Island.
 * Rhode Island Rams navbox
 * University of Rhode Island

Program is not large enough (like the Florida Gators program) to have a separate navbox for athletics. The standard is usually just to include the athletic stuff into the main university navbox, which should be done here. Corkythe hornetfan  (ping me) 04:08, 3 March 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Support merge. This is an unnecessary navbox and the university one is better suited for a more encompassing coverage of University of Rhode Island topics. Jrcla2 (talk) 17:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge, but suggest interested parties ( & ) with a vested interest in such classifications and templates ought also generate a broader policy discussion via a CFD for the categories and all such templates... which are currently based on both or either the teams & names in sports and the schools. Add in the by state features and the preferable solution gets pretty murky mighty fast. Having gone to college for a school without any modern teams to speak of, I have no interest. Others will. Fra nkB  04:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose - This particular template is substantially identical to Template:Stanford Cardinal navbox (the most broadly successful college athletic program for 20 years) and better organized. So we're not reviewing a defective template with limited links. I'm sympathetic to an argument to merge all seven of these templates (Category:American college athletic program navigational boxes) with their corresponding academic navboxes, but oppose narrowly culling just this particular one from the seven. We should decide now, as cleanup/merge of seven is much easier than after it has inevitably spread to ~100 of the common FBS colleges. UW Dawgs (talk) 07:40, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If this one is deemed to be unnecessary and a merge occurs, then it will be easy to open up the other 6 in a blanket nomination. Opposing the merge of this one on the grounds that all 7 should supposedly be lumped together is not a solid argument. Jrcla2 (talk) 03:52, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

 *  Support merge - Mostly redundant, and neither navbox is large. BTW, would anyone like to comment at Templates_for_discussion/Log/2017_March_8? --Jax 0677 (talk) 00:57, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Template:Heads of the Ministries of the Government of India

 * 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 to Template:Union ministries of India. Some pages use both templates, so make sure to check that there aren't any duplicates after merging. Primefac (talk) 02:39, 3 April 2017 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Heads of the Ministries of the Government of India with Template:Union ministries of India.
 * Heads of the Ministries of the Government of India
 * Union ministries of India

Most of the links are similar. Further, most of the heads of ministries redirect to the ministries, so it would be good to keep only those heads, which have their pages. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  12:49, 3 March 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Rubber stamp - this one seems to be a no brainer. The one with most offices doesn't have the office holder listed by the other. Styled the same too. Fra nkB 04:16, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment for the record, only the "Ministries" section of Heads of the Ministries of the Government of India has similar links. The "Minsters" section contains an entirely different set of links (none of which are redirects to their respective ministries). Primefac (talk) 03:16, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

Primefac (talk) 19:27, 1 April 2017 (UTC) With only one local station in this region of Coahuila (XHSDD-TDT), there is no need for this template other than to connect a bunch of redirects that don't even use it.

The result of the discussion was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Primefac (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2017 (UTC) A template with little to no navigational use, as most of the links are redirects. Two other templates cover the actual articles that are linked here. Raymie (t • c) 04:52, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was soft delete. WP:REFUND applies. Primefac (talk) 19:26, 1 April 2017 (UTC) All TV Azteca stations are owned-and-operated, and most as network relayers do not qualify for articles. This template does not have much navigational use.

Most of those have been deleted as redundant. I've substed this now-useless template so it, too, can be deleted. Raymie (t • c) 04:44, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was merge to Nippon Professional Baseball. Use LST to transclude second usage. Primefac (talk) 19:24, 1 April 2017 (UTC) Subst: and delete--only one transclusion ―Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:29, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

 * I have also added it to List of NPB stadiums to show where the current stadiums are located. -- T orsodo g Talk 01:36, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

 * merge with one of the two articles and use LST to transclude in the other. Frietjes (talk) 17:33, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Question: Almost all of the templates located at Category:Labelled map templates are used in only one or two articles. Is there a reason this specific template is being singled out? It seems like by the logic of this deletion discussion the there should be no labeled map template at all? -- T orsodo g Talk 22:13, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was no consensus. NPASR. Primefac (talk) 19:21, 1 April 2017 (UTC) Not enough links to provide meaningful navigation. Also, do we really need a navbox for this kind of award? -- Rob Sinden (talk) 12:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC) For example, a simple one has this partial set of lines:
 * MTV Movie Award for Best On-Screen Transformation
 * Strong Keep - since unlike me there are millions that care about MTV and things like honors, so will happily go from article to article seeing who last won such and such an award (a category, n'est pas?). So happens, this is a 'new award' here in the days of rampant CGI, so the lists population (Today) is small compared to those better populated by years of links like Template:MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss or many other MTV award categories. BUT.... fairplay makes me say, I believe strongly in those maintaining a project area have the say in managing its formatting and in this case, that means supporting the continuance of the template because they (who are editing MTV awards pages) are being consistent within the way they have organized and linked the year to year articles.  These templates are clearly part of a family, and in effect are succession templates like we used to use with infoboxes to navigate between dynasts passing crowns and titles. That approach has been superceded by large and complicated infoboxes which incorporate the successor/predecessor information in the large templates.

... and clutters the top of articles, yet we tolerate them. We can tolerate with these very unobtrusive bottom dwellers even easier. These tabulate titles at page bottom. I'd prefer an infobox approach myself, but that danged principal intrudes... they are maintaining the pages, have the interest, so get to make the rules.
