Links non-notable event articles likely to be deleted here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Miss_Nederland_2013 By time this Tfd finishes the AfD will be wrapped up. Legacypac (talk) 23:19, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Procedural oppose Even should the two articles at AFD be deleted, the template still has sufficient links. You need to get all the articles to AFD first before this TFD can be properly conducted....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:36, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The AfD covered all links except the parent article, is now closed, and all were deleted. This is an orphan now. Legacypac (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Miss Universe Nederland 2010 is gone now too. Legacypac (talk) 07:32, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after ensuring no information is lost (i.e. incorporate into the existing lists). (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 23:42, 3 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that this template is moved to a list article or deleted entirely.

This navbox does not help readers navigate through wikipedia. A reader of one disease topic will not use an ICD based classification to navigate to an alternate topic of a different organ system. This adds to navbox clutter on pages and should be removed in lieu of either a list page or removed entirely. Tom (LT) (talk) 22:54, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The template fails NPOV, as it claims people having a title that they didn't have, and that these several "dukes of Pannonia" were sequential, when this is not the case. Zoupan 01:55, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete as an (almost) word-for-word duplication of {{official websites in}}, which is being deleted for breaking elink policy (TFD is below). (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 07:24, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is redundant because it is a replica of {{Official websites in}}. Codename Lisa (talk) 00:37, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Policy is clear about elinks, so a template that breaks that policy should be removed. (non-admin closure) Primefac (talk) 07:17, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This template facilitates hoarding external links in direct violation of WP:ELMINOFFICIAL. Specifically:

Normally, only one official link is included. [...] more than one link may be appropriate, under a very few limited circumstances. However, Wikipedia does not provide a comprehensive web directory to every official website. Wikipedia does not attempt to document or provide links to every part of the subject's web presence or provide readers with a handy list of all social networking sites.

I stress that we absolutely must not. We want our readers to read the article, not navigate away from it. Codename Lisa (talk) 00:30, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - wait, what ? Yes, we do want our readers to navigate away, to get Offical information, tutorials, resources, interactivity, and basically the real deal as opposed to the necessarily summary descriptives of our version of notables found in our articles.

  • Delete at least one of these, though I can see it would be useful to keep one and add a parameter and use this in selected articles. —PC-XT+ 12:14, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep one There are official websites that are different in content for the country of origin compared to their English website. If they are easily switchable/linkable between countries, then you can reduce to the single website, otherwise it is useful to keep them on one line rather than having to list separate Official website items. Keep one of these around, and redirect the other to it. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 17:57, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete because the policy says so; something that everyone has ignored so far. (And the transclusion count is small.) WP:EL policy has a stringent set of requirement for external links, regardless of how useful they are. One exemption is given to one official link that may appear regardless of the inclusion criteria. Other official links are not exempt. AngusWOOF says occasionally they may be okay because of unique contents in one language. Let's examine the first 10 items of current uses:
Nope! I am not convinced this template needs to be kept. Fleet Command (talk) 15:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
