Template:Kobe Bryant and LeBron James series
I might create the Michael Jordan series equivalent for Kobe and LBJ. Any reason why it would be deleted? - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 06:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- The main reason, even the Jordan one, they could be deleted is that they don't really refer to each other. The commonality is just the player, not that the subtopics are intertwined. Like a relative, a movie, a statue, and a restuarant have little to do with each other. Per the WP:SIDEBAR guideline:
This is more appropriate for very large topics like World War II. —Bagumba (talk) 07:30, 4 April 2024 (UTC)Navigation templates located in the top-right corner of articles (sometimes called a "sidebar" or "part of a series" template) should be treated with special attention, because they are so prominently displayed to readers. The collection of articles in a sidebar template should be fairly tightly related, and the template should meet most or all of the preceding guidelines. If the articles are not tightly related, a footer template or navbox, located at the bottom of the article, may be more appropriate.

PRODs of interest
Looking at CAT:PROD, there appear to be a few articles proposed for deletion on basketball teams that may be of interest:
Can anyone determine if these are notable? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:33, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
NBA team histories
16 teams have team history articles (Template:NBA team histories). Is there a good reason why the other 14 teams do not have team history articles? Namely, Raptors, Bulls, Bucks, Hawks, Pistons, Magic, Wizards, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Jazz, Clippers, Suns, Kings, Spurs - BeFriendlyGoodSir (talk) 02:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Because no one has been passionate enough to create them haha? Rikster2 (talk) 14:58, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- And that passion often just leads to a bunch of WP:OR, cherry-picked fan memories, or mass duplication of what's in (or should already be in) individual team season articles, instead of basing the history on reliable sources that curate the franchise's highlights. —Bagumba (talk) 15:13, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- There is definitely enough rich history to carry articles for these teams, especially franchises like the Pistons, Hawks and Spurs. But these articles take a very long time to create well. And the person needs to be willing to do real research. Much faster to produce player/coach articles or lists. Rikster2 (talk) 15:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

There is a Franchise History Column on the page of all those teams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodboy70 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
