The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 17:26, 1 October 2021 (UTC) It is clear that the creator's attempt to templateize lists of countries by various characteristics does not enjoy consensus, as it was reverted in most places. It should now be fully cleaned up (reverted in the few unwatched articles that still use these), and the templates deleted, not kept as a series of relics. * Pppery * it has begun... 23:27, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  13:03, 1 October 2021 (UTC) Delete - No stand-alone article to warrant a corresponding navbox. Japan's pro league (the bj league) is not considered a top pro league per NBASKETBALL and so their dunk contest is even less notable. SportsGuy789 (talk) 22:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Bj league Slam Dunk Contest Winners


 * Keep - Encyclopedia describes lower leagues. Encyclopaedia, also spelled encyclopedia, reference work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or that treats a particular branch of knowledge in a comprehensive manner. 61.11.188.241 (talk) 01:11, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * That is a blanket statement that simply describes what encyclopedias are for. But specifically on Wikipedia, any articles / templates must pass notability guidelines. Per NBASKETBALL, the bj league is not a top tier international league and therefore warrants further scrutiny. The navboxes also don't link to stand-alone parent articles. If those parent articles existed and pass GNG, this would not have been nominated for deletion. SportsGuy789 (talk) 17:37, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails the navigational purpose. I've nominated the other bj league template, Template:Bj league Three-Point Contest Winners for deletion for September 24 for failing under the same reasons. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 17:16, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete I reverted the addition of an AfD tag to the template on procedural grounds, but now that all articles linked to this template were deleted at the above-mentioned AfD, it can and should be deleted as well without further ado. --<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b> <sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk  22:33, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It seems that the overall page was deleted, but not the alphabetical subpages, which the template contains.2601:241:300:B610:F1BA:AEF9:9050:8993 (talk) 22:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I had originally put the AfD on the template as an easy way to transclude the AfD notice to the subpages. I hadn't realised that had removed it. Suggest simply speedy deleting everything per WP:G8, as they are indeed dependents of the now deleted main page. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs)  01:53, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Now tagged one of the subpages for G8 ; hopefully the admin who sees this has some sense and speeds up the foregone-conclusion bureaucracy. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 01:57, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
