Comment: (Disclosure: I am the template's creator.) I have no objection to deprecating in favor of {{Ussc}}, since that template is more fully featured; I have used that one myself on occasion. That said, I personally find the visual presentation of the results of this template more visually appealing, and find the lack of the extlink indicator on the results of the other to be vaguely misleading. Nevertheless, it is obvious that this template never quite caught on. Thanks to Justin (koavf) for notifying me of this discussion, which I probably would not otherwise have noticed until it closed. --KGF0 ( T | C ) 09:28, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Each of these template contains less fewer than five blue links (i.e. links to existing pages); the first 5 templates contain only 1 blue link. When there are so few items, a navbox is an unnecessarily crude and intrusive device. It is much better to simply create any relevant links in the body text of the articles.

I have not removed any links from the templates in this section. Some of the templates include links to articles on people whose significance to the villages seems tenuous, but I have left them in place. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 00:37, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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

Another pointless navigation template for a tiny village in Kent, this time Langley, Kent.

The template contains nothing at all, except one redlink. Goodness knows why the creator thought this template was worth making, but as a navbox with nowhere to navigate it is 100% useless. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Creation was for completeness. Redlink is entirely valid. Mjroots (talk) 19:17, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Boggle. Just what sort of "completeness" is achieved by creating a navbox-to-nowhere? --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:19, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The red link isn't entirely valid. It shouldn't be there per WP:REDLINK and WP:NAVBOX#Properties. If we remove that there's nothing there! Mhiji (talk) 00:55, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete looks like it would have been used on Arizona Diamondbacks to display the team's season-by-season record. As such, it would be a single use template anyway, as List of Arizona Diamondbacks seasons uses a more informative chart. Reso lute 18:28, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:The Bill Series Summary (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No articles transclude this template. The only article in which it is appropriate is List of The Bill episodes. One appropriate location does not justify a template; a hardcoded instance at that location is more useful in this case, which is what is there now. Neelix (talk) 21:29, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The links on the template actually point to the individual season lists, so it doesn't work that well on the complete episode list article. The List of The Bill episodes article seems a bit of duplication as well since there are separate season lists. I think I'll nominate that article as well, in which case it won't even be needed there. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:12, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a navigation template where only the primary article exists; the rest of the links are redlinks. Since this is a navbox that provides no navigation, it should be deleted and recreated only when/if the additional articles are written. RL0919 (talk) 18:53, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - seems harmless enough. The director has signed-up to direct a series of films for Disney, so the list of articles will grow. That being said, there is no reason why the template could not be recreated at a later date. I must say that WP:NENAN is what I call a "deletionist essay" - one of several that simply want to make the project smaller for no other reason that it uses up unnecessary resources. -- Scjessey (talk) 15:09, 19 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
