The result of the discussion was delete. Liz Read! Talk! 22:43, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, no documentation. These are no longer redirects after Nardog converted them to templates in 2017; many of those templates still have no transclusions. I am certain that I do not completely understand the logic of this set of templates, but it seems to me that this page is no longer needed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:28, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Navbox contains only two actual links to articles that match the topic (Colombia and Holy See). – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:48, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 I disagree based on the third point of WP:TFD#REASONS which says this template ...has no likelihood of being used. which is not true. Many of the structured templates I created in Category:Diplomatic missions by receiving country templates started off as bare-bone/transclusionless and now have increased usage. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 15:21, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
However WP:TFD#REASONS also says "Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here." which is often the process here. Nigej (talk) 16:04, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Can be added to four articles. NEAN doesn't apply to this certain template because there is a navigational benefit for this topic. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:24, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or userfy per nom. Navboxes are for navigation. We shouldn't be creating them until there is useful navigational benefit. Arguments like "eventually it will have enough links" don't convince me. Write the content and then at some point a navbox might be useful, not the other way round. Nigej (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as usual, I find the entire principle of adding templates to articles because they were found to be unused to be counterproductive; if a navbox were truly useful, it wouldn't have become unused. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:02, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I've added the template to the relevant articles and thus no longer unused. The template does fulfill navigational purposes even if it doesn't have the minimum five links. But to delete all other diplomatic missions templates that have a similar concern would only be counterproductive. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:11, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions. Of questionable utility. Navbox with only two actual links (Palestine and Holy See) to what is purportedly covered here. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:46, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95 Similar argument here: I disagree based on the third point of WP:TFD#REASONS which says this template ...has no likelihood of being used. which is not true.

Nigej (talk) 16:07, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    @Nigej There are ~ 5000 Embassies in the world and thousands more missions (nearly 1000 Articles too) that can now concretely be navigated across any of the 400 Diplomatic missions by receiving/sending templates. Another dimension is these templates and the subjects in them are translated across multiple Wikipedias. For example someone recently created Embassy of Sweden, Algiers into English and added it to Template:Diplomatic missions in Algeria. Is that particular template lowly used on English Wikipedia and delete-able by your criteria? Yes. Does it have navigational benefit already? Yes. Does it have potential to grow in the future? Yes, and only because someone took the effort of creating this template in the future that is already neatly sorted, and intra-wikilinked to other languages.
    Whenever someone wants to create an embassy article, they can look at existing article and see that it has such templates, and without worrying about creating a template from scratch, can pull an existing one, even if it's empty. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 14:41, 13 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Per comments above. If people want to find articles about Diplomatic missions in Libya they simply look at Category:Diplomatic missions in Libya. For Diplomatic missions in Algeria they look at Category:Diplomatic missions in Algeria. These categories link to various foreign language categories (German, French, Italian, etc). We don't need a navbox to enable people to see what already exists, the categories already tells them. Using a WP:NAVBOX for this purpose is not satisfactory IMO. Navboxes "are a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles in Wikipedia." For instance, looking at List of diplomatic missions in Algeria, the only easy way to tell which articles exist is to look at the navbox. This is all wrong. It should be clear from the article itself. WP:NAXBOX says "Do not rely solely on navboxes for links to articles highly relevant to a particular article. Navboxes are not displayed on the mobile website for Wikipedia, which accounts for around half of readers." Where's the link in this article to Embassy of Palestine, Algiers? It's not there, it's ONLY in the infobox. The articles need a redesign so that they are usable without navboxes. Nigej (talk) 12:33, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete. Primefac (talk) 20:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, no incoming links. Too many of the links in this navbox are not specific to Sri Lanka, so they are not tied together well enough to meet the criteria in WP:NAVBOX. Festivals in Sri Lanka, Category:Festivals in Sri Lanka, this list of holidays, and Category:Public holidays in Sri Lanka may be sufficient. It may be possible to trim this navbox significantly to make it more focused on just one type of observance. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:50, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, incoming links, or documentation. No substantive edits since 2006. This template may have been used at one time in articles like Buses in Sydney, but consensus appears to have moved away from its use. Without documentation explaining how it worked, it is difficult to figure out how and where it is supposed to be used. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:19, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions in article space. Some of them are transcluded only in some user drafts from 2006. This experiment from 2006 never really caught on.

No transclusions. These parishes no longer exists after administrative changes in Estonia, so the navboxes are no longer useful. I don't know how they was missed when similar templates were deleted a couple of months ago; perhaps they still had one or two transclusions at that time. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:01, 18 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not a properly formatted reference, substing wouldn't make sense. It is relying on the fact that no one will edit the article after the author finishes, otherwise the "1" will break. I assume it is referring to the bare-linked external link "[1]", which if it were formatted properly wouldn't be "1" unnamed.
