  • 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)[reply]
  • 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(talk) 05:49, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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

  • 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(talk) 05:52, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
There's plenty of precedent for this (Template:Kurds infobox, Template:Infobox Kosovo War). Wikipedia:Templates: "Templates are pages that are embedded (transcluded) into other pages to allow for the repetition of information". WP:TMP: "The Template namespace on Wikipedia is used to store templates, which contain Wiki markup intended for inclusion on multiple pages, usually via transclusion.Curb Chain (talk) 15:55, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

And there is precedent to keep it too, see the elements infoboxes (eg. Template:Infobox hydrogen). Christian75 (talk) 08:09, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep revised version. Rationale for nomination has been obviated by revision; renominate if there are other reasons to delete. Opabinia regalis (talk) 23:03, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This template is useless. 90% of the links point to the Korean Wikipedia articles, which is misleading and useless for Ebglish-speaking readers, plus Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. Teemeah 편지 (letter) 11:02, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]
