 * Infobox NCAA Division II basketball tournament
 * Infobox college basketball tournament

This wrapper looks like it's trying to give the functionality of Template:Infobox college basketball tournament, but doesn't do so very successfully, and I think it's probably best to merge anything needed from this wrapper into the more polished template with more than five times the transclusions. fuzzy510 (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete after substitution. Primefac (talk) 09:09, 18 July 2023 (UTC) Single-article content with no template parameters. This is a straightforward table that should be substed into its article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:17, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 09:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC) This is some sort of test template created in 2013 and apparently never documented. It is used in two test transclusions in sandboxes, where it could easily be invoked directly, per the minimal explanation at Module:Example. There are no links to it from any discussion pages or other non-report pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 14:35, 19 July 2023 (UTC) Unused, and if someone really wants it I think they could just as easily add it in to arrow (which would also allow for easier remembering). Primefac (talk) 12:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Lrwhitearrow
 * Delete per nom. The person who loves reading (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to arrow add a white option to the other color options; add the double-ended Left-Right Arrow to the options of types of arrows -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 01:13, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noting that I have implemented this suggestion. Primefac (talk) 09:11, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Arrow2. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 14:34, 19 July 2023 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Arrow2 with Template:Pfeil.
 * Arrow2
 * Pfeil

Two templates that do almost exactly the same thing, with almost exactly the same syntax, though pfeil has more options. Primefac (talk) 12:43, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * No objection as long as all options are preserved. Useddenim (talk) 12:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: The merge target should be Arrow2, in case that is unclear from the nomination. Let's not have German-language template names on en.WP. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nom. The person who loves reading (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge to arrow2 -- clearly WP:Use English to name functional templates. Pfeil English Wikipedia is not the German Wikipedia, and unintelligible template names are useless; Delete the resulting redirect from pfeil as WP:RLOTE -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 01:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
 * merge to Template:Arrow2 per above. Frietjes (talk) 15:57, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Archive bottom. Primefac (talk) 09:12, 18 July 2023 (UTC) Propose merging Template:Discussion-Closed-End with Template:Archive bottom.
 * Discussion-Closed-End
 * Archive bottom

Merge with Archive bottom (or something similar). A useful template but barely used (~10 times) and highly redundant to many alternatives  Aza24  (talk)   12:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge, or Redirect to Div col end instead. Discussion-Closed-End contains a simple tag, identical to Template:Div col end. Other templates have been redirected there for the same reason. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Subst and delete this is a simple end DIV statement, and the complementary template Discussion-Closed-Start simply opens the DIV with a color background. We other much better templates for this purpose such as discussion-top or archive-top -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 01:01, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Archive top

Merge with Archive top (or something similar). A useful template but barely used (~10 times) and highly redundant to many alternatives  Aza24  (talk)   12:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge per nomination. The former template does not have any explanatory text; using the standard Archive top will help readers understand why the box is there. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:36, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. It looks like it has already been merged with List of Terminator (franchise) characters, which is the other option listed by the "weak keep" comment. Plastikspork ―Œ (talk) 12:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC) Only contains three links. Painting17 (talk) 13:55, 19 June 2023 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Reese–Connor family tree
 * Delete per nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:24, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
 * weak keep, used in six articles. but, I would also support merging this with one of the two "list of characters" articles. Frietjes (talk) 15:15, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete, substing on List of Terminator (franchise) characters and removing elsewhere. This template doesn't need to exist as a template per WP:SUMMARY. Izno (talk) 18:23, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  14:10, 17 July 2023 (UTC) I am genuinely not sure what to do about this navbox, as it breaks most of our conventions about navboxes (and is actually just a table). I was going to turn it into a column navbox without the images, but without the images I am not sure it will have the same usefulness (since most of it will just be unlinked phrases). Should this be kept as is, modified, or deleted outright? I note there are only three uses. Primefac (talk) 07:53, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Greco-BuddhistChronology


 * Delete – a cool idea, but a little random in navigational choices and such. Not really the right type of information for a navbox I think.  Aza24  (talk)   12:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
