Navbox which navigates only 2 topics. Izno (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete, we can easily link two articles without a navbox. Frietjes (talk) 12:09, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, even if we had an article on the studio themselves, it + 2 games do not need a template. The three articles would be interlinked readily. --Masem (t) 05:17, 22 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Old style, no need, even some of are redlinks, should be subst or replaced by other template or style. Previous discussions plaese see WT:FOOTY and previous TfDs. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 14:35, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose They might be the old style, but they're still in use? I don't understand the desire to delete these templates, but nobody seems to want to update the tables to the more modern format? Hell, when I create these types of pages now, I still use the "depreciated" templates. - J man708 (talk) 01:59, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@J man708: If the result of the discussion is delete, these templates can be orphaned after the discussion is closed. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 05:05, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We can develop a bot to update table, such as PrimeBOT or Sporkbot. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 05:12, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Then why not AFD it AFTER the bot has been updated? - J man708 (talk) 05:52, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
We have WP:Templates for discussion/Holding cell. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:06, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • SupportDelete all Per previous discussion. Matthew_hk tc 04:28, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:06, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it is better to use direct interlinks in the articles instead if it can do it. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 07:14, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete, it's time to finally kill all of these. Frietjes (talk) 12:08, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per J man708 - currently these templates are being used and deletion of them screws up tables using them. First a plan needs to be thought out to update the tables not to use the templates and only after that bring them up for deletion as unused. --SuperJew (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@SuperJew: like {{Fb team Antlers}} → Kashima Antlers. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 22:21, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And using Module:Sports results and Module:Sports table instead. Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 22:50, 15 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Hhhhhkohhhhh: so first convert all the tables using it as above (also don't forget flags for countries which are not the country of the club) or request a bot to do it. Then, deprecate the templates using them with appropriate documentation so that editors don't try to use them. And after all the templates are not in use and the templates using them are deprecated, then go for mass deletion. I'm not objecting to the concept, but to the order of actions. --SuperJew (talk) 07:51, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • SuperJew and J man708 the point of TfD is to first determine if there is a consensus to eliminate the use of a template and if it is viable to replace it. It doesn't make sense to do numerous edits to convert all the tables if people don't want to convert all the tables - that's is why we have this discussion first. Then once a consensus is there the template is listed in WP:TFDH, where time is given - as much time as needed - for all instances to be removed. The templates are definitely not going to be deleted before the instances are removed. Unlike in other deletion discussions, this discussion ending in delete doesn't mean instant deletion. Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:44, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Galobtter: In all previous discussions I've seen that were about this type of template that ended in a delete consensus (usually because only 1 or 2 people even commented on them), the templates were deleted and the tables using them screwed up. --SuperJew (talk) 08:47, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SuperJew Could you point to such a discussion. That seems rather strange. Galobtter (pingó mió) 08:57, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom, templates are unnecessary for simple wikilinks. The actual discontinuation of these templates will be a somewhat complex process given they cannot be easily substituted, but I'd be happy to help contribute in this process. S.A. Julio (talk) 02:19, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - long-standing consensus that these kind of templates are not needed. GiantSnowman 17:24, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
