*'''Delete''' - It is a fundamental principle of Misplaced Pages navboxes that they exist to provide links to navigate among existing Misplaced Pages articles. First, these templates are completely redundant to each other for navigation purposes: the Political Families template includes all 13 of the families listed in the First Families (presidential families?) template. Second, 8 of the 13 articles listed in the First Families template, and 22 of 30 articles listeed in the Political Families template are red links to non-existent articles. Both templates should be deleted for the high percentage of non-existent linked content. ] (]) 21:03, 4 February 2015 (UTC) | |||

Propose merging Template:First Families of Pakistan with Template:Political families of Pakistan.
Template:Political families of Pakistan has all of the links from the first families. Redtigerxyz 20:28, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Template:The Times They Are a-Changin'
Recreation of deleted template. I quote the previous nomination, "There are two quite similar templates for each of these albums which navigate to and are transcluded in the same exact articles. The other templates are track list templates, such as {{Blonde on Blonde tracks}} and {{Highway 61 Revisited tracks}}. Outside of location, they serve the same function so, really, only one of each needs to exist. I'm nominating the navboxes because 1) similar ones have been deleted in previous TfDs and 2) track list templates exist for other Dylan albums that don't have a complete set of articles for each song and, thus, no navbox at all. All are categorized under Category:Bob Dylan album templates." Richhoncho (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Keep Aids in navigation. Why would we want to delete something that aids in navigation? A reader reaches the bottom of the page and wants to know how to get to the next song on the album, for instance. Besides, there are articles within these templates besides the track listing (also, I have not yet made an albums footer for the navboxes). - Bossanoven (talk) 20:02, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- Query - Can we get a comment from two or more WikiProject Albums members? What is the established WP:Albums consensus regarding a navbox footer for an individual album that includes a linked list of the individual song tracks from the album? Is this a standard practice -- yes or no? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Template:Another Side of Bob Dylan
Recreation of previously deleted template. I quote the last nomination for ease. "There are two quite similar templates for each of these albums which navigate to and are transcluded in the same exact articles.

Template:PropertyLink
- Template:PropertyLink (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused, undocumented, no links to it or any clue in its history what it's for. Functionally it just wraps a call to Module:PropertyLink but that itself is little used, I think as the functionality has migrated to Lua itself. I.e. today this would just be done in Lua (in an infobox say), making this redundant. JohnBlackburnedeeds 16:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Template:Burgan SC
- Template:Burgan SC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Per WP:NENAN, plus only one of the links bar the one to the parent article actually link to what the navbox says, the rest just to general articles that may or may not contain some relevant content. Fenix down (talk) 12:22, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Template:USA-MA
- Template:USA-MA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:USA (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This template appears to be redundant to {{flag|Massachusetts}}
, which it wraps. There are no similar templates for other states, though this appears to be an extension of {{USA}} and this state's name is one of the long ones... —PC-XT+ 10:41, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- I have changed to Propose a merge, where a parameter would be added to {{USA}} for states. Instead of
{{USA-MA}}
, it would be{{USA|MA}}
. Thoughts? —PC-XT+ 10:45, 4 February 2015 (UTC)- And, I'm not sure about tagging {{USA}}. It might just be confusing. I put in an edit request, but it might be better to go back to a deletion discussion or withdraw, and meanwhile put in an edit request for {{USA}} to incorporate this feature. I would like some discussion, though. Any thoughts? —PC-XT+ 11:58, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
- I found {{User US postal}}, which I think was actually created for userboxes, but I added it to {{USA/sandbox}} to make it support states:
{{USA/sandbox|MA}}
→ Massachusetts,{{USA/sandbox|MI}}
→ Michigan,{{USA/sandbox}}
→ United States There might be a better helper template to use, but this illustrates the concept. —PC-XT+ 12:26, 4 February 2015 (UTC)- I find this template
{{USA-MA}}
, or if we change it to{{USA|MA}}
, easier to use than the current state flag and name templates. --Aidan721 (talk) 14:04, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
