Template:Amy Adams sidebar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per precedent set in discussions for other similar templates, this is redundant to the main article with only three links that are all contained on main page and thus this template should be deleted. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:10, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:First Families of Pakistan (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Political families of Pakistan (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:First Families of Pakistan with Template:Political families of Pakistan.
Template:Political families of Pakistan has all of the links from the first families. Redtigerxyz Talk 20:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - It is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia navboxes that they exist to provide links to navigate among existing Wikipedia articles. First, these templates are completely redundant to each other for navigation purposes: the Political Families template includes all 13 of the families listed in the First Families (presidential families?) template. Second, 8 of the 13 articles listed in the First Families template, and 22 of 30 articles listeed in the Political Families template are red links to non-existent articles. Both templates should be deleted for the high percentage of non-existent linked content. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think these have enough links that they can be merged and the red links commented out until the articles are created. The first families could be placed in a separate section, if the difference is notable. —PC-XT+ 15:47, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • @PC-XT: I've seen fewer than two thirds working links cited as a reason to delete in the past; the Political Families template has less than 30% (8/30) working links to existing articles; the First Families template has less than 40%. may be a case of "too soon." Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 21:16, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
      • Dirtlawyer1, I've made that argument, myself, but in a deletion discussion, if half the pages don't have other navboxes, I usually !vote "keep for now" on condition that the red links are commented out, (as long as there are enough working blue ones.) That way, there is still the option to nominate later for deletion if the links don't fill out. Merging is basically the same thing, but would reduce it to one template. —PC-XT+ 07:32, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge Template:Political families of Pakistan should be the main. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:54, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • merge, seems sensible. Frietjes (talk) 16:37, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete as redundant to the track listing template Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:36, 12 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Times They Are a-Changin' (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Recreation of deleted template. I quote the previous nomination, "There are two quite similar templates for each of these albums which navigate to and are transcluded in the same exact articles. The other templates are track list templates, such as {{Blonde on Blonde tracks}} and {{Highway 61 Revisited tracks}}. Outside of location, they serve the same function so, really, only one of each needs to exist. I'm nominating the navboxes because 1) similar ones have been deleted in previous TfDs and 2) track list templates exist for other Dylan albums that don't have a complete set of articles for each song and, thus, no navbox at all. All are categorized under Category:Bob Dylan album navigational boxes." Richhoncho (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Aids in navigation. Why would we want to delete something that aids in navigation? A reader reaches the bottom of the page and wants to know how to get to the next song on the album, for instance. Besides, there are articles within these templates besides the track listing (also, I have not yet made an albums footer for the navboxes). - Bossanoven (talk) 20:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Query - Can we get a comment from two or more WikiProject Albums members? What is the established WP:Albums consensus regarding a navbox footer for an individual album that includes a linked list of the individual song tracks from the album? Is this a standard practice -- yes or no? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Another Side of Bob Dylan (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Recreation of previously deleted template. I quote the last nomination for ease.

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

Unused, undocumented, no links to it or any clue in its history what it's for. Functionally it just wraps a call to Module:PropertyLink but that itself is little used, I think as the functionality has migrated to Lua itself. I.e. today this would just be done in Lua (in an infobox say), making this redundant. JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 16:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Burgan SC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Per WP:NENAN, plus only one of the links bar the one to the parent article actually link to what the navbox says, the rest just to general articles that may or may not contain some relevant content. Fenix down (talk) 12:22, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
