The BIG3, a fledgling 3x3 basketball league, has consistently been considered non-defining for bios, with previous discussions here and here being that's the league is not worth mentioning in either the opening sentence or in infoboxes. As such, this is unnecessary per WP:TCREEP, which also states: "Just because a template can be created doesn't automatically mean that it should be." —Bagumba (talk) 08:03, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't see it hurting having a template for the champions there is obviously going to be more seasons to come. This is the sport of basketball with big name players competing, it airs on a huge sports network. I also feel as its in its second season it should have a presence on the players pages.

This navbox is for a French rugby union team, but now have a vast majority of red links (with just 2 blue links at present), and as RC Narbonne no longer participate in a fully professional rugby union competition, current or new players won't automatically be deemed notable as per WikiProject Rugby union/Notability criteria.

Miscellaneous border templates

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was no consensus. A bit of a WP:TRAINWRECK, with different criteria such as having a parent article, combining with another navbox to link more than 3 articles, or total links, red or blue, being more than 3, being suggested for for keeping some of the navboxes. No prejudice to speedily renominating a subset of these (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 09:23, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All of these templates violate WP:EXISTING and link three or less existing articles. --Molandfreak (talk, contribs, email) 05:59, 6 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Substantially duplicates {{tq}} for no obvious reason pertinent to Wikipedia. Izno (talk) 14:54, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak merge to tq (maybe {{tq|gt=y}} or something), since I think the added punctuation mark would help with accessibility. It's also a well-known convention from the earlier days of email. I don't feel very strongly about this, though. Enterprisey (talk!) 23:43, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, the punctuation is a well-known convention from email for people of a certain age (I guess there's markdown--notably reddit, which uses it also) but we're not using either of those formats here. I don't really understand why you think the > might help with accessibility. It seems to add noise to whatever is quoted. As for the green text, that's almost 0 value whatsoever. --Izno (talk) 01:18, 11 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Syrian opposition topics

Very few (if any) of these articles actually relate directly to the Syrian opposition, instead just link to general Syria articles. --woodensuperman 10:31, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose - of course they are dealing with the opposition. The proposal is misleading and seems to be influenced by WP:RECENTism (Syrian opposition is on the decline). The fact the southern Syrian opposition areas were conquered by Baa'thist Syria, doesn't change the fact they have existed for years, and continue to hold large territories in Northern Syria.GreyShark (dibra) 11:09, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The majority of the live links are nearly identical to {{Syria topics}}. How are topics such as Smoking in Syria and Scouts of Syria, etc, etc "dealing with the opposition"? It seems someone has just copied this navbox and made slight amendments. I think this may even fall foul of WP:NPOV. {{Syrian opposition topics}} is only transcluded on 3-4 articles so it is pretty useless. We could strip it down to the articles that really are specifically about Syrian opposition and not the general Syria topics, but I don't think there are enough to warrant a navbox. --woodensuperman 11:43, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
With such logic, why don't you propose to merge also template:South Korea topics and Template:North Korea topics, as well as Template:Cyprus topics and Template:Northern Cyprus topics.GreyShark (dibra) 19:59, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Whilst those have issues, they generally contain topics that are relevant to the subject and are not a wholesale duplicate of each other. We could merge the non-duplicates into the Syria topic navbox. Also, WP:OTHERSTUFF. --woodensuperman 08:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I only looked at the Cyprus ones, the Korean ones actually are merged already. --woodensuperman 08:40, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First, ISIS is not part of the opposition. Second, the opposition now controls much of northern Syria (in Idlib and Turkish-occupied territories). Such oppositional government named Syrian Interim Government is based in the Turkish-controlled enclave. Note that the Syrian Interim Government issues their own passports and have government offices for running the civil affairs with Syrian National Army functioning as the military force (under Turkish protectorate).GreyShark (dibra) 08:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
