Template:Wiki Hilo (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Non-notable encyclopedia that just got off the ground. Maybe in a few years it'd be notable, but now it isn't. Zappa O Mati 23:36, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not only is it not notable, it is not even a template. It looks more like an article than a template. Citrusbowler (talk) 23:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Living Things (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fails WP:NENAN. A prefect example of the dodgy work of Jax with the last album having no article or being completely wrong linked. The first album is not even from the Living Things... The Banner talk 21:25, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep, but feel free to continue discussion on how to resolve the redlink problem. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 05:34, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Tor hidden services (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The majority of the links in this template are red so I suggest deleting until there is a good number of articles to fill it with. ... discospinster _talk 19:02, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If the subjects of a navigation template are sufficiently notable that they could have articles, deleting the template for red links is simply counterproductive, as it discourages article creation. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:15, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - as above.--Seerus (talk) 13:04, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Obviously notable. No policy justification cited for removal.--Elvey (talk) 18:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: WP:NAV: "Red links should be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles, and even if they do, editors are encouraged to write the article first." How are they obviously notable? And why hasn't anyone written articles for them yet? ... discospinster _talk 19:26, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even if none of the redlinks are notable enough for an article (I don't know either way), that still leaves six blue links which is sufficient for a navigation template. What the nominator should be doing is discussing on the talk page about which links should be included and which should not and how best to present them. As for why nobody has written the articles yet, there is no deadline. TOR users are forbidden from contributing to Wikipedia by default (see WP:TOR), and so it is possible that most of those who are knowledgeable about the services there and interested in writing articles about them are unable to do so.

Template:Reformationband (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Artist only has the one album. No band members have own articles. Navigation between the album and band articles doesn't require a navbox. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 18:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:BHAOstop (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template created for use in one article only (which is currently nominated for deletion) and can easily be substituted. –Dream out loud (talk) 17:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after substitution. It's a table, and could just as easily been done with straight table syntax. -- Whpq (talk) 18:41, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after substitution. I've no idea why I created it... normally I do something in Excel to produce large wiki-tables like here. :-) Tompw (talk) (review) 00:44, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete Stereomud, Unloco, Dax Riggs (possibly merge some with Template:Acid Bath), Deadboy & the Elephantmen, Burnt by the Sun, Pro-Pain (first two links are redirects), Tura Satana, Downset, Linda Perry (not enough without 4 Non Blondes), Silent Civilian (too soon), Tora Tora; weak keep Bitty McLean (see discography), indifferent Born of Osiris (forthcoming album and notable EP), Through the Eyes of the Dead (see discography), One Minute of Silence (see discography), The Banner (seems there is more to add). ~~Frietjes (talk) 19:25, 6 June 2013 (UTC)~~ (revised) Frietjes (talk) 19:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all per nom. None of these templates has sufficient links to be helpful for navigation; they all fail WP:NENAN's absolute minimum of 5 core links (not counting the title article).
Frietjes's arguments for keeping some of the templates seem to fall foul of WP:NOTCRYSTAL, because we can't predict whether a forthcoming album will be notable or whether an album which is just listed in a discography is notable. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:09, 8 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
follow up, on second thought, delete Bitty McClean. all the linked charting singles were covers, so we would not expect to find this navbox in those articles. Frietjes (talk) 18:31, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Messy affair that fails to be a useful nav box The Banner talk 09:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, tfd is not cleanup. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 21:17, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- If it is not a cleanup, it just should be deleted as a incomplete, useless template. WP:TNT. The Banner talk 23:07, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's suspicious that you are asking for deletion after anti Monsanto information was added. Are you sure you don't work for them? --Trulystand700 (talk) 01:02, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Not that I know, unless the Irish Republic is a subdivision of them! I came across the template while checking the often dodgy templates of Jax 0677. In my opinion this is a messy, useless template that is no aid in navigating around the different subjects related to Monsanto. Unless improved, I would apply WP:TNT to this templates (and about 80 other company templates in this style) The Banner talk 19:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
