Keep It's quite common for "<topic> in <country>" articles to have a navbox that links to other "<same topic> in <other country>" articles, such as all the navboxes implemented with {{Europe topic}} and {{Africa topic}}. It's likely that a visitor to one of these articles is interested in other similar articles. I don't see any reason why the same wouldn't apply to gambling articles.

Keep. Clearly meets the navbox guideline. 2005 (talk) 00:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Appropriate navbox, useful to those studying laws and culture of various nations as regards this particular activity. Montanabw ^(talk) 05:46, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This one clearly to me says delete, since the leader is not the nation, and it is the nations that are of interest to the "Tiger Cub economy". --Izno (talk) 22:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to cite WP:NENAN here in combination with a comment that the nations included in this template are all going to link each other, anyway, for other reasons. A navbox to link them doesn't seem necessary. Delete. --Izno (talk) 22:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I support NENAN for a template with only four entries, but what's the potential for this list to grow... four articles might cross-link, but eight or nine start getting clunky. Montanabw ^(talk) 05:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: It's a template transcluded as a table, keeping the references on the template. It's unusual, but it makes sense in the context it is used; I don't see a policy against its inclusion, it's not being used as a navbox. Montanabw ^(talk) 05:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There's plenty of precedent for this (Template:Kurds infobox, Template:Infobox Kosovo War).

Redundant to {{Talk archive}}; ~~suggest redirecting~~. Alakzi (talk) 11:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Given the odd capitalization, less than 100 uses, and naturally the redundancy, I'm inclined to delete. --Izno (talk) 11:54, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Of 47 transclusions, 38 come from User talk:Utcursch/archive, so yeah, delete. Alakzi (talk) 12:03, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep revised version. Rationale for nomination has been obviated by revision; renominate if there are other reasons to delete. Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MBC Programs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is useless. 90% of the links point to the Korean Wikipedia articles, which is misleading and useless for Ebglish-speaking readers, plus Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, to change the content of the template every month according to which series is on play at the moment. This goes over the function of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Teemeah ^{편지 (letter)} 11:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the rationale but do not find it sufficient for deletion. I have cleaned up the template (version nominated for deletion) IAW with our various applicable policies, guidelines, and essays and see no issue with the resultant template (see also WP:NENAN). Keep. --Izno (talk) 12:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge. Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Search archives (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 165 transclusions
Template:Archive banner (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages) - 408 transclusions

Propose merging Template:Search archives with Template:Archive banner.

Identical function, only stylistic differences. No need for two templates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:11, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge: No sense duplicating effort. Montanabw ^(talk) 05:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support merge yes, this seems logical. Although can the styling in {{search archives}} be used instead of the styling in {{archive banner}}, it looks much better? —Skyllfully ^(talk | _contribs) 04:12, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
