Unused. While we have a number of links to the target site, the format does not lend itself to templating them. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:52, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

We don't have cast and crew in navboxes per longstanding consensus. A navbox just detailing presenters and panelists in a game show is just an extension of the same principle. Navboxes like this just encourage WP:TEMPLATECREEP and put WP:UNDUE weight on certain performances of an entertainer over others. For the same reason we have the guideline WP:PERFCAT for categories. Note a number of similar navboxes have recently been deleted. Rob Sinden (talk) 13:25, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Entire content has been deleted sans all these templates within Category:American Inline Hockey League navigational boxes per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Inline Hockey League. Ricky81682 (talk) 09:44, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • I forgot this stuff was left over from the AfD. I think it is safe to delete it all and also any other templates or categories that mention AIHL meaning "American Inline Hockey League" (taking care not to accidentally delete any referring to the Australian league with the same acronym or anything else like that.) --DanielRigal (talk) 18:57, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

External link template. Target site uses its own IDs, but appears to simply republish Wikipedia's content and links. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:52, 11 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Keep Whether or not these links are appropriate is a content question that is beyond the scope of TfD as I understand it. As long as articles use the template (and there are more than 300 of them [1]) we shouldn't touch it. Uanfala (talk) 20:39, 23 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Provisional keep This one needs to be documented to only be used for the site's unique material, not its WP rehash. If these pages are distinguishable by URL, then template should be recoded to not permit the WP-rehash pages to be used (even if it means changing the input of the 200 current uses). If after 6 months it is mostly used to WP:CIRCULAR-cite WP for itself, then it should probably be deleted. This raises the question of whether the source is actually reliable for what it publishes itself. If it's not, then we don't need a citation template for it.  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  00:33, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
