These templates were created 6.5 years ago, and they're not in use outside of a few sandboxes in the user space of an editor who has been indefinitely blocked for almost 5 years. Included in this nomination are a few copies of templates in that user's space that at best should have been history merged into the live templates long ago.

Too long for a navbox. I suggest we either delete it or turn it into a list. --Bageense(disc.) 23:20, 1 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

--CONVERT AND THEN DELETE. Much too long for a template, but the information could go into a list article. CONVERT TO LIST. THEN DELETE TEMPLATE.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 19:51, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dthomsen8, I will convert to a list when the discussion ends. So I ask someone to let me know when I can start working. --Bageense(disc.) 20:41, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for taking on that task. Admin will tell you when that happens.--13:34, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
  • move to article-space and reformat as a list article, this will preserve any edit history. Frietjes (talk) 14:39, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep, is this serious? The template is fine in length, the sole complaint, that it is "too long", does not take WP:NAVBOX guideline language and the templates already accomplished coherent, orderly, and understandable arrangement into consideration. In other words, the navbox covers its topic well and coherently, as required by the guideline. And because the only nomination argument presented is that the navbox is "much too long for a template", this nomination should be immediately closed as Keep. Please also remember that templates, lists, and categories are totally separate subjects according to the guideline language. In fact, "turn it into a list" isn't a contributing reason to delete any template, per the well reasoned guideline language although I've seen it, as here, incorrectly used many times in these arguments. Sorry about the excess circus-like boldfacing but this discussion is at the closing point and could be closed any minute. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:13, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The top of the Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates page reads:
"This page in a nutshell: Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others.
I'd hope that regulars here would drop the 'turn into a list' argument forevermore after reading and understanding the governing Wikipedia guideline page. Randy Kryn (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
