All album articles are redirects, leaving only 3 band member links. Musician navboxes should include links to albums or other releases per guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Navbox. Mika1h (talk) 23:10, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This writer-specific navbox violates WP:FILMNAV, which says, "Filmographies (and similar) of individuals should also not be included in navboxes, unless the individual concerned could be considered a primary creator of the material in question. This avoids over-proliferation of individuals' navboxes on each production's article, and avoids putting undue weight on the contributions of certain individuals over others." This navbox is causing exactly the problem that WP:FILMNAV warns about. For example, The Lego Batman Movie has five screenwriters, and this navbox makes it seem like only McKenna and Sommers wrote that film. Spider-Man: Homecoming had six screenwriters. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle had four screenwriters. These misframings are exactly why WP:FILMNAV exists. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 13:55, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I don't think that with this many writers for each film, they can be considered a primary creator for any but maybe one of these entries. --woodensuperman 14:15, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. I asked the templates' creator about them, and they said that they do not think the templates will be used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:46, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Way too cluttered to provide a useful navigation function, no article on the subject of the navbox, not really a suitable topic for a navbox. --woodensuperman 12:00, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Table template with only two transclusions. Content could easily be merged into articles that use it. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talkcontribs) 10:41, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contains only loosely related characters who make a cameo/appearance in a single series, amongst their other numerous appearances across hundreds of works of media. Fails navbox guidelines for topics requiring some sort of close relation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ () 06:36, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:MEDCAB was a very informal process for resolving content disputes. It was shut down in 2012. We don't have similar banners for things like previous filings at WP:DRN/WP:RFC/WP:ARBCOM, which would certainly be more relevant. Maybe not relevant enough for a banner, but more relevant than a lighthearted event from 10+ years ago. Given that each banner has a hidden cost of banner bloat, we should delete it.

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hurricane Severity Index - this scale has only been proposed and used by a private company to compete with the indexes that the National Weather Service uses. It is not significantly covered by any major, reliable sources that are independent of the subject, making it a non-notable scale, and the sources that are used for its information have not been updated since 2008. Therefore, I believe this template should be deleted as well. ChrisWx ☁️ (talk - contribs) 04:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused navboxes with no links, no main article, and all are empty. The class seven bracket/divison has been elimnated. All of them were blanked in November of this year. Has no use for the foreseeable future.

A similar discussion for the main navbox linking all these eight navboxes was nominated for deletion on November 29. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
