Unnecessary navigation box as there are not enough notable works by its subject, Olivia Holt. Typically, a navbox should link 5 or more related subjects together. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 22:24, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – I can't remember the specific guideline, but navboxes that have less than 4 entries are generally considered appropriate for deletion, and this one has just two. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:42, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox reality competition season. Primefac (talk) 18:43, 29 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox television Amazing Race with Template:Infobox reality competition season.
Definitely has the similar issues with the TFD deletion entry of Survivor's template was nominated for merging. I would get a suggestion to move to {{Infobox reality competiton season}} as getting a status of proposal merger at {{Infobox television season}}.

  • The thing is the custom templates that were used on Big Brother, Survivor, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, etc. all had common characteristics that could be merged into {{Infobox reality competition season}} without the need to create show specific parameters. The most customization deals with the |num_contestants= being switched to show specific terms for Big Brother and Survivor and the addition of |location= for Survivor articles. The thing with {{Infobox television Amazing Race}} is it has 12 show specific parameters. Currently {{Infobox reality competition season}} does not include any parameters like |all_stars= which would either be left out in the merge or be included. If included then editors of other shows like Big Brother and Survivor could request for similar parameters to be added since The Amazing Race has them. As of right now in my opinion it might be better to either keep {{Infobox television Amazing Race}} as its own infobox or convert it into a separate child of {{Infobox television season}} as it would add too many fields to {{Infobox reality competition season}} that are not used by other shows.

  • Comment: For me, the real question, and one that needs to be discussed in my opinion is, are all the parameters in the "Season statistics" section important or WP:TRIVIA. To me personally, most of those seem trivia and I would probably leave only |countries_visited=. I'd also be opposed to the 3 all star links which have no meaning and relevance in the infobox. --Gonnym (talk) 20:18, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • Eh Gonnym I don't think continents, countries and cities visited are trivia considering you can get this info from the show itself. Progress in this show is measured in "legs" not "days" although for that a simple fix would be to modify {{Infobox reality competition season}} so that |num_days= can be swapped with |num_legs= similar to how |num_contestants= works. "Distance traveled" is the only one I'm not sure of since I don't watch this show. The articles don't cite this but I'm not sure if this information is present in the episodes. I agree with you 100% on the all-star parameters. Alucard 16❯❯❯ chat? 03:27, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • While this is true, I'm still not sure that it belongs in the infobox, as similar as I wouldn't support a "number of challenges" parameter. I can see some value in such parameters in an series overview table where they can be used to compare and present new information, but here, without context, they just seem trivial. --Gonnym (talk) 09:16, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge per nom and the result of the previous discussion. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 06:52, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom.--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:38, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge frankly can be speedily closed. So much precedent... --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:27, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Obsolete and only 46 transclusions. A very similar discussion (for Template:Click) took place in 2011 and was closed with no consensus; there were 3 deletion debates prior to that. However, many arguments hinged on there being ~9000 pages using Click; ClickA would be trivial to remove by comparison. Removing would simplify those 46 pages and avoid the risk of it being added to any more. User:GKFXtalk 01:16, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - 7.5 years of deprecation is enough. --Gonnym (talk) 11:03, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as deprecated and replace all 46 transclusions with the appropriate template if possible. Jalen D. Folf (talk) 06:51, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace and delete per nom and Jalen--Tom (LT) (talk) 00:38, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete completely unneeded, I'd be happy to go through the 46 transclusions and replace it with the newer syntax or template (ping me if you want me to) --DannyS712 (talk) 21:30, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
