Template:Gambling by country

Fails WP:NAVBOX 3 and 5.Curb Chain (talk) 21:22, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep It's quite common for "<topic> in <country>" articles to have a navbox that links to other "<same topic> in <other country>" articles, such as all the navboxes implemented with {{Europe topic}} and {{Africa topic}}. It's likely that a visitor to one of these articles is interested in other similar articles. I don't see any reason why the same wouldn't apply to gambling articles.

  • Keep. Clearly meets the navbox guideline. 2005 (talk) 00:57, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Keep Appropriate navbox, useful to those studying laws and culture of various nations as regards this particular activity. Montanabw 05:46, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:Leaders of the Tiger Cub Economies

Fails WP:NAVBOX 1,3,4.Curb Chain (talk) 20:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:Countries with Tiger Cub Economy Status

Fails WP:NAVBOX 1,3,4.Curb Chain (talk) 20:15, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

  • I'm going to cite WP:NENAN here in combination with a comment that the nations included in this template are all going to link each other, anyway, for other reasons. A navbox to link them doesn't seem necessary. Delete. --Izno (talk) 22:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
  • Comment: I support NENAN for a template with only four entries, but what's the potential for this list to grow... four articles might cross-link, but eight or nine start getting clunky. Montanabw 05:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:2009 flu pandemic in Oceania table

Used on it's one respective article; should be substituted and deleted.Curb Chain (talk) 19:52, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep: It's a template transcluded as a table, keeping the references on the template. It's unusual, but it makes sense in the context it is used; I don't see a policy against its inclusion, it's not being used as a navbox. Montanabw 05:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
There's plenty of precedent for this (Template:Kurds infobox, Template:Infobox Kosovo War).

Template:Archived Talk page

Redundant to {{Talk archive}}; suggest redirecting. Alakzi (talk) 11:06, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:MBC Programs

This template is useless. 90% of the links point to the Korean Misplaced Pages articles, which is misleading and useless for Ebglish-speaking readers, plus Misplaced Pages is not a TV Guide, to change the content of the template every month according to which series is on play at the moment. This goes over the function of Misplaced Pages as an encyclopedia. Teemeah 11:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Template:Search archives

Propose merging Template:Search archives with Template:Archive banner.

Identical function, only stylistic differences. No need for two templates. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:11, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
