* When I look at it now, it does seem a bit irredentist. But can we simply weed out that (more or less subtle) slant and have something that contributes to the encyclopedia? Or is it not salvageable at all? I'm not sure either way. It would be good if a reader who is ''not'' from any of these regions could answer that question :) --[[User:Joy|Joy [shallot]]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 20:01, 12 August 2011 (UTC) |

** Note, an analogous observation holds for e.g. [[List of tallest structures in Yugoslavia]]. I weeded out the biased/anachronistic stuff from there, but I'm still not sure if such a list really makes sense any more. Having such historical lists may be particularly bad if they are hard to maintain; having such historical navboxes may be particularly bad if they litter many current articles. --[[User:Joy|Joy [shallot]]] ([[User talk:Joy|talk]]) 20:06, 12 August 2011 (UTC) |

*I instituted a new version of the template, with Croatia-Slavonia removed to try to make it less problematic. I already suggested this earlier at the talkpage but now im putting it up outright. A similar version of this already existed in 2009 so it would be a simple return to that removal[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Regions_which_belonged_to_Hungary_before_the_Treaty_of_Trianon_%281920%29&oldid=326579791] [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ARegions_which_belonged_to_Hungary_before_the_Treaty_of_Trianon_%281920%29&action=historysubmit&diff=444565250&oldid=444469002 with Croatia-Slavonia removed] It's hard to address the large number of false statements in the nominating post because almost everything from there is false. For example the claim the template not listing starting year implies that the starting year is "always" (maybe the big bang?). In the English language there is no such implication. Croatia question is solved by removing Croatia-Slavonia from the template which I have done. Also a false statement is that the template shows 'modern geographical regions' some of the geographical regions are several hundred if not thousand year old there. Moreover it was PANONIAN who last edited those regions for content!! And now he cites partially his own edits as a reason to delete very clever. If there are some modern regions I would not oppose removing them and replacing it with actual regions used at the time. Using modern regions would be anachronistic as well on the template. However again it was PANONIAN who last edited those regions making changes to them. An additional reason I don't think this should be deleted at this time is that this nomination might be a retaliaton for this ANI thread[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ani#user:PANONIAN_blindly_revert_warring] as there was a debate regarding the template which should have been solved by discussion at the talkpage. Additionally deleting this (instead of redirecting or otherwise preserving it's history) would break all the links in ANI and elsewhere, taking all it's context away from the diffs. So I ask the closer that at least the history and with it the links are preserved if the debate goes that way.[[User:Hobartimus|Hobartimus]] ([[User talk:Hobartimus|talk]]) 04:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC) |

Template:GrandTourTournaments
- Template:GrandTourTournaments (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
appears to be a failed editing experiment, and possibly a copy of Template:Infobox GrandSlamTournaments. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 15:54, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Template:Road March years
- Template:Road March years (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
provides very little navigation, and the article which it navigates should probably be deleted. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 15:47, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Completely redundant to {{Adolf Hitler}}. Sir Armbrust Talk to me Contribs 07:46, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
- Very good cross-references. Better under the title 'Hitler, Adolf.' Must-keep.VNCCC (talk) 18:10, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment Side bar templates don't entirely replace navigation templates, as the side ones are usually on the top right side, and box navigation templates are at the bottom. What guidelines govern side nav templates usage? Maybe one is redundant to the other. hbdragon88 (talk) 01:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- There are no hard and fast rules for sidebars, but nor should they be created lightly when a navbox covering a similar area already exists. In this case, the only difference between the two seems to be that the sidebar has rather less editorial discretion (for instance, it links to World War II: what article is it going to be transcluded on which doesn't mention World War II prominently in the wikitext?). We really don't need that sort of duplication. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 10:51, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:Soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou?
- Template:Soundtrack of O Brother, Where Art Thou? (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
I nominated this for deletion back in February, and the reasoning remains the same: the title of this template is incorrect, as these are a few of the songs that appear on the soundtrack, not a template listing multiple soundtracks; furthermore, there is already an article for the soundtrack, which goes into detail about all of the songs and music used in the film. This template offers no new information, and is not useful for navigation and research. The creator has made no attempt to edit or improve the template since the February discussion, despite his protestations that it could be fixed. RepublicanJacobiteTheFortyFive 16:12, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Keep and rename - There is a value to such a template, but this is misnamed (should probably be Template:O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack) and underdeveloped. I'll see what I can do about improving it shortly; please consider alternate names and what might be best. cmadler (talk) 19:33, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Delete: Might be incomplete or incorrect. A\/\93r-(0la 19:51, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Comment - I've just expanded it and fixed the name; please consider in light of these changes (and if there are other changes you feel are necessary, please let me know). Thanks, cmadler (talk) 20:10, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
- Delete - too unrelated. It doesn't appear on all the listed articles so it sends you down dead-ends, nor should it be included on them. Links from the main article suffice. violet/riga [talk] 23:16, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:Regions which belonged to Hungary before the Treaty of Trianon (1920)
I am proposing this for deletion because: 1. it is redundant to a better-designed templates, {{HUCountiesto1918}} and {{Provinces of medieval Kingdom of Hungary}} and 2. it violates a Neutral point of view policy (template does not show actual administrative units of former Kingdom of Hungary, but it show modern geographical regions outside of present-day Hungary which are claimed as parts of "Greater Hungary" by modern Hungarian nationalists. Template also contains many errors since some of these regions (for example Croatia) were not part of Hungary between 1918 and 1920 (Croatia became part of Serb-Croat-Slovene Kingdom in 1918). Template does not list starting year from which these regions started to be administered by the former Kingdom of Hungary, implying that these regions "always belonged to Hungary". In its current form,this template is violation of accuracy and neutrality). PANONIAN 17:12, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
