we don't need user signature templates in template space. Frietjes (talk) 23:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

• Delete as templates in signatures are highly discourages - see WP:SIG#NoTemplates. Give the user a chance to copy the wikicode to the signature box in his preferences page and then delete. Ego White Tray (talk) 03:49, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

We don't do "films acted in by actor" templates, do we? Plus also note that even though this template has been around for nearly 5 years, it's always been empty and has never actually contained a list of Chiranjeevi's films. DH85868993 (talk) 05:16, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Template:Channel Tunnel (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template has no transclusions and very few meaningful incoming links. A better railway route diagram is present at Eurostar#Mainline_routes. No explaination for the placing of {{transclusionless}}. Seems to no longer be needed. — This, that, and the other (talk) 04:36, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

• Comment only about 5% of Eurostar's route is in the Channel Tunnel. The template maps are completely unrelated, although it's useful that it's been picked up that the template has been dropped. —Sladen (talk) 10:21, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Template:Interactive Achievement Award for Game of the Year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:Interactive Achievement Award for Action Game of the Year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I personally don't believe the Interactive Achievement Awards have distinguished themselves as the "industry gold standard" for video game awards in the same way that the Oscars and the Golden Globes have for films. There are a number of other "Game of the Year" type awards which pursue the "Academy" route to prestige, such as Game Developers Choice Awards and BAFTA Games Awards. As such, I don't think a navbox uniting these winners is justified in the same way that all Oscar winners of each category are united in navbox form. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:07, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

• Keep - We don't judge on whether it's the "gold standard", we judge on notability. --Nathan2055^{talk - contribs} 20:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I think you're misunderstanding what my deletion rationale is. I don't think navigation between these articles is useful in the same way that an Academy Award navbox is. I have no doubt in my mind that these awards are notable, but that's not the question at hand in a template deletion discussion---usefulness is. Axem Titanium (talk) 04:44, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

• Delete. Regardless of the notability of the award (it is), navboxes are meant to serve as a navigational aid, not as a list of winners. Given these games occupy wildly different genres and numerous separate platforms, the value of this template as a navigational aid is about nil. Resolute 02:54, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
• delete, the award is notable, but we can navigate between winners using the award article, or a category. we simply don't need a navbox for this as it just adds to too much at the bottom of the article. Frietjes (talk) 15:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
