• Template:American Athletic Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Year navbox (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Used in two (2) articles... fails WP:EXISTING. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 23:55, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Strong keep. This is only the fourth season for the conference, and the main reason why the template is used in only two articles right now is that the first three American POY awards were won by Breanna Stewart—who's now in the WNBA. Almost certain to grow in the future. — Dale Arnett (talk) 00:53, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It can always be brought back when there are at least three more links making it enough to navigate. Corkythehornetfan (ping me) 01:22, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete until this has navigational value, at which point it can be refunded. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 21:31, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Terrorist incidents in Turkey in 2017 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Too soon. Samsara 07:19, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Way to soon for justification. --Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above, could be restored later based on relevant category. Brandmeister^talk 11:07, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. For now just remove it from the page it is used on. But it would be extrordinarily naive to think this template won't fill up quickly and be needed soon for navigation between many articles just like {{Terrorist incidents in Turkey in 2016}}. Edgeweyes (talk) 11:48, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't know why it can't be created when it's actually needed - it's not a complex piece of work. In any case, as Brandmeister has said, now that it exists, it can be restored once it actually has some reasonable utility - I'd be happy to later carry out the restoration and even histmerge as needed, but I don't know that this needs to be floating around in the meantime. Arguments from a crystal ball are not really part of our objective or culture here, as I understand them. Samsara 04:44, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Autb (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A variant of {{Smallcaps}} "for tests", to quote the edit summary when it was created. Should be substituted and deleted. Enterprisey (talk!) 06:37, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Nobel Prize in Literature (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I have nominated this for discussion in order to gain a consensus. User:Victoriaearle has begun deleting this template from various biographies such as John Steinbeck, William Faulkner and Rudyard Kipling and I am unsure whether there is consensus for this action. I feel the template should be deleted and removed from all biographies that include the template or restored at all biographies. I favor the latter.TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:09, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - there seems no imaginable logic for deleting this well-defined template for one of the world's major prizes, indeed arguably the greatest of all literary prizes. This does seem a surprising way to obtain consensus, too. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:31, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Also Keep – navboxes are most usable when you can easily go to and fro between all of the articles, and so as nom says, should be present on all, barring some exceptional reason. ‑‑Yodin^T 13:38, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• I would agree with Chiswick Chap - this needs an RfC, not a TfD. Samsara 04:47, 3 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• If the closer recommends that we pursue an RFC, I will do that.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:33, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and transclude on included articles per standard practice with navboxes per WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. --Rob Sinden (talk) 09:58, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Robsinden. I'm not surprised the problem involves Victoriaearle. She usually does whatever she feels like doing, and often does it haphazardly and arbitrarily. She even uses a fake edit summary saying she's "trimming external links". I didn't realize that meant navboxes too... lNeverCry 10:30, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - I commented here, which applies to all the articles as indicated in the edit summary. There's no reason for this to be here; Tony could have dropped a note on my talk page and I would have told him so. INeverCry, you're going beyond commenting about edits and instead commenting about the editor. As it happens I don't really care much about all the templates that have been recently added beyond my personal opinion that they add clutter at the bottom of the page and that it would be nice to see more consensus building, but I don't think those opinions or the belief that achieving consensus is a Good Thing goes so far as " She usually does whatever she feels like doing, and often does it haphazardly and arbitrarily." Thanks all. Victoriaearle (tk) 13:28, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Victoriaearle struck her comment with the edit summary " there were three & already reverted; prefer not to be shouted at; tks". Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:21, 7 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and restore to articles from which it was removed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andyfix; sig; Andy's edits 15:19, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and restore as needed, the template for Nobel lauteates, it is the most important prize in literature. Templates for navigating to other articles are helpful, in my view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prairieplant (talk • contribs) 13:32, 6 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
