Template:Blyth Spartans A.F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only links three articles and I'm not sure whether either of them are still at the club. EchetusXe 21:38, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think you may have added the wrong comment to the wrong nomination; I count seven players plus the manager. --WFC-- 00:23, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes but the template is only on three of those articles. Presumably because those editing the articles assume that a Blyth Spartans A.F.C. squad template would not exist.--EchetusXe 00:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • I don't quite understand how TfD works; does a bot do cleanup afterwards? I'm willing to add links where I have argued keep if a bot would do the cleanup should they be deleted, but don't want to run the risk of merely adding a load of redlinks to articles. --WFC-- 01:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • My opinion is that the main criteria for judging navboxes is the number of links, and whether or not the navbox itself is reasonably well maintained. This passes those barometers for me. My opinion is to see how this run of TfDs goes; if the final judgement is that a few of them are worthwhile provided there is a willingness to maintain them, I'd be happy to take on a share of that work. I know this is an oxymoron, but if that's how this goes, it might need a bit of organisation at WT:FOOTY. --WFC-- 01:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        In response to your first question, yes, a bot should perform the clean up, if the template is placed in the holding cell before deletion. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 16:10, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks Plastikspork. I've done the cleanup, and would speculate that the lack of the redirect {{Blyth Spartans F.C. squad}} may have counted against this template in the past. I'll be happy to update this every September and February for as long as it's a worthwhile navbox. Regards, --WFC-- 03:18, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Dover Athletic F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

See below. EchetusXe 21:35, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Very poorly maintained (to the extent that that might justify deletion), but there are eight players and a manager that should be linked from this; if used properly this would be a useful navbox. --WFC-- 00:25, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Follow-up, this is inconsistent with what I have argued elsewhere, but given that the club is an FA, I'm assuming that the will is there somewhere. --WFC-- 00:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

[[Northern Premier League Premier Division]] club, no useful purpose whatsoever. EchetusXe 21:21, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The article suggests that eight people (plus the club) should be included in this navbox. If no-one can be bothered it should probably be deleted anyway, but if someone wants to do the work I would !vote keep. --WFC-- 00:51, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the only one who keeps this thing updated and I wouldn't have bothered if I knew that it should have been deleted. Only links a few articles, and one of those is a loan player who will leave the club in a few weeks. EchetusXe 21:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:St Albans City F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Is only included on one article and I'm not sure if he still plays for them. Poorly maintained, out of date, club not competing in a national or professional league etc etc EchetusXe 21:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete without prejudice to recreation. Out of date, and the four links it should have doesn't warrant a navbox. However, if that situation changes (a couple more notable players join) I would be happy to maintain this one. --WFC-- 00:46, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: but like WFC above, no prejudice against recreation. I actually created this one while the club was in the Conference National and had several notable players on their books. Unfortunately they got relegated that season and now here we are. BigDom 06:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Northwich Victoria F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Seems to be one of the better maintained of its kind, but club is now in the Northern Premier League Premier Division and a squad template is overkill and unnecessary. EchetusXe 21:07, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I would normally sit on the fence for a template with precisely five links, but this one is well maintained and accurately used. Marginal case, but I think it might be worth sparing this based on the quality of most of the articles this links to. --WFC-- 00:34, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Borderline, but it appears to be updated regularly and contains links to maintained articles. Argyle 4 Lifetalk 16:22, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Halesowen Town F.C. squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Clubs of this level should not have squad templates and the template's history illuminates why this is the case. Has not been updated since December 2009, links few or no articles, and seems to be mostly inaccurate. Extremely difficult to keep this template up to date unless one is familiar with the obscure club.EchetusXe 20:51, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It appaears to be for helping to create a project banner from scratch, specifically the assessment part of it. I don't think many people would have used this even before WPBannerMeta existed as they would have just found another banner and copied the code from there. And now with WPBannerMeta, there's even less of a need for it. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
