The result of the discussion was keep. (non-admin closure) Alakzi (talk) 08:59, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NAVBOX 3 and 5.Curb Chain (talk) 21:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep It's quite common for "<topic> in <country>" articles to have a navbox that links to other "<same topic> in <other country>" articles, such as all the navboxes implemented with {{Europe topic}} and {{Africa topic}}. It's likely that a visitor to one of these articles is interested in other similar articles. I don't see any reason why the same wouldn't apply to gambling articles. Toohool (talk) 23:53, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Clearly meets the navbox guideline. 2005 (talk) 00:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Appropriate navbox, useful to those studying laws and culture of various nations as regards this particular activity. Montanabw(talk) 05:46, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • This one clearly to me says delete, since the leader is not the nation, and it is the nations that are of interest to the "Tiger Cub economy". --Izno (talk) 22:51, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Of minimal use, will require constant upkeep, quickly dated. Montanabw(talk) 05:47, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fails WP:NAVBOX 1,3,4.Curb Chain (talk) 20:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm going to cite WP:NENAN here in combination with a comment that the nations included in this template are all going to link each other, anyway, for other reasons. A navbox to link them doesn't seem necessary. Delete. --Izno (talk) 22:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I support NENAN for a template with only four entries, but what's the potential for this list to grow... four articles might cross-link, but eight or nine start getting clunky. Montanabw(talk) 05:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Used on it's one respective article; should be substituted and deleted.Curb Chain (talk) 19:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: It's a template transcluded as a table, keeping the references on the template. It's unusual, but it makes sense in the context it is used; I don't see a policy against its inclusion, it's not being used as a navbox. Montanabw(talk) 05:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's plenty of precedent for this (Template:Kurds infobox, Template:Infobox Kosovo War).

The result of the discussion was keep revised version. Rationale for nomination has been obviated by revision; renominate if there are other reasons to delete. Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This template is useless. 90% of the links point to the Korean Wikipedia articles, which is misleading and useless for Ebglish-speaking readers, plus Wikipedia is not a TV Guide, to change the content of the template every month according to which series is on play at the moment. This goes over the function of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree with the rationale but do not find it sufficient for deletion. I have cleaned up the template (version nominated for deletion) IAW with our various applicable policies, guidelines, and essays and see no issue with the resultant template (see also WP:NENAN). Keep. --Izno (talk) 12:00, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
