The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 01:39, 28 March 2020 (UTC) Only two albums with articles and both already link to and from one another, so this navbox does not aid or improve navigation. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 20:04, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

In consistency with how the other rites are merged already for a more complete overview. PPEMES (talk) 17:34, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

Template:Howie Hawkins series

 * 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 no consensus. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 01:39, 28 March 2020 (UTC) Most links are either redirects to Howie Hawkins or are loosely related to a third-party candidate with the exception of his presidential campaign. Template has only been edited twice overall. Wow (talk) 06:58, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Howie Hawkins series
 * Keep It's the same structure as Template talk:Jill Stein series, and the precedent brought up for that template's deletion showed that it's okay for any political leader to have one. Howie is already a presidential candidate for the Socialist Party. The Green New Deal also isn't loosely related, he was the first ever candidate to campaign for it. Catiline52 (talk) 22:41, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * A year-old "no consensus" discussion does not really count as precedent. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:08, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Correct, this is not a precedent when the sidebars for Joe Walsh and Jeb Bush were deleted for similar reasons. --Wow (talk) 05:41, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. These templates are a case of unnecessary cluttering of the page, and at some pages, just plan spam. These usually also don't follow WP:BIDIRECTIONAL; Using the example of Jill Stein above, her template is used on only 5 of the 15 links. And to a lesser extent WP:EXISTING with Howie Hawkins series linking to two redirects. The WP:BIDIRECTIONAL issue can't even be really fixed. Look at 2016 United States presidential election for example for the huge amount of white-space caused by the these series templates, now imagine everyone in 2020 Green Party presidential primaries having one. If a navbox is really needed, it should use the bottom navigation style, which does not make reading articles annoyingly difficult as they are out of the way. --Gonnym (talk) 06:45, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep links are not loosely related as described by User:Catiline52.--TM 15:20, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Template:Offline user

 * 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:No Internet. Plastikspork <sub style="font-size: 60%">―Œ <sup style="margin-left:-3ex">(talk) 12:19, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Offline user - currently unused (outside documentation and test pages)
 * No Internet - currently just four transclusions (outside documentation and test pages)

Propose merging Template:Offline user with Template:No Internet.

Outright deletion of the offline template was narrowly rejected in a recent discussion, with some "keep" !voters calling for this merge; merging these almost identical templates would be the next-best step.

 * Merge per nom. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 09:51, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose as they're not quite the same thing. ——  SN  54129  09:30, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * One says ...will not have Internet access and will be unable to respond to queries., the other ...has no immediately available Internet access and will be taking a wikibreak of indeterminate length.. What is the substantive difference? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:49, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose, slightly different connotations. Hog Farm (talk) 13:50, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Per my comment above, what is the substantive difference? Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:49, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment – I am trying to test a merge of those two templates on here. --Soumyabrata (talk • subpages) 13:40, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge. PPEMES (talk) 13:23, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge, perferably using this aforementioned version by . Both templates include a statement mainly about not having internet, and the "slightly different connotations" can all be merged in one template, switched by parameters. – Toxi  Boi!  (contribs) 07:13, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * If we have to choose a "host" template to "survive", I would say the merge should be held at Template:No Internet due to the template having more transclusions (NI -> 12, OU -> 3; for what it's worth, OU is only used in doc pages). – Toxi  Boi!  (contribs) 07:18, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
