Per WP:SEEALSO As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes. This is used in the "See also" section and the links are also in the navigation box {{UCI Road World Championships}} immediately below (see Germany at the UCI Road World Championships).

College soccer awards are only notable if they're national awards. These are not national awards. Therefore they're not notable. Some of these templates have previously been deleted per discussion here. – Michael (talk) 20:27, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. – Michael (talk) 20:32, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per nom and previous consensus, non-notable regional college awards. Giant Snowman 08:09, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - no evidence to suggest that this is non-notable, and it is a sweeping assumption to suggest that regional awards for college soccer are not notable. Meets WP:ATHLETE and WP:GNG as the athletes have jumpstarted professional careers with these awards. Quidster4040 (talk) 18:35, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete rather local awards. I hope Quidster4040 can prove that the players "jumpstarted" their career due to these awards. But I guess that they would have been picked even without the awards. The Banner talk 00:19, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid you're a victim of not doing research Banner. Furthermore this meets WP:NCOLLATH.
No this does not meet WP:NCOLLATH because they're not national awards. – Michael (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep These are notable awards, and is consistent with Wikipedia:Navigation template. Furthermore, we have established conference POY navboxes for football, and baseball among other sports. (Therefore Otherstuffexists should in this case strengthen my argument, because the nominator falsely claims that college sports awards are only notable if they are national.)UCO2009bluejay (talk) 21:02, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Notability seems to be an improper argument for the navboxes. The awards likely meet WP:LISTN, and most (all?) have standalone lists already for their respective topic, suggesting they are, in fact, notable. A more relevant argument might be whether the navboxes for non-national awards are WP:TCREEP.—Bagumba (talk) 09:04, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:NBA minutes leaders (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is WP:TCREEP. I've done a random sample (James, Iverson, Mason, Tripucka, Havlicek and Chamberlain), and confirmed that all articles but two (Chamberlain and Mason) did not mention this achievement in the prose, thus not satisfying some of the criteria in WP:NAVBOX. –H T D 07:50, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nomination. Totally useless template. – Sabbatino (talk) 10:37, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it is WP:TCREEP for a relatively trivial basketball stat. Perhaps we should revisit the past AfD on the related list also (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of National Basketball Association season minutes leaders). At any rate, not every list needs to be blindly made into a navbox.—Bagumba (talk) 10:29, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WP:NAVBOX presents five guidelines with the statement "Good templates generally follow some of these guidelines". Howard the Duck has pointed out that this template does not follow one of those guidelines (subject is not mentioned in the prose). Obviously, the guidelines are not a requirement based on how they are described as general rule that may be partially followed. Probably a significant portion of the subjects included in {{NBA statistical leaders}} are not included in many of the articles linked in the associated lists and templates. This is not a reason for deletion.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 06:44, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    - We already have List of National Basketball Association annual minutes leaders to cover this. We don't need a template for that. – Sabbatino (talk) 10:11, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      - Sabbatino, The fact that there is an article on the subject of the template supports the template's existence according to WP:NAVBOX. Furthermore, we have similar lists for every other stat with a template, e.g., List of National Basketball Association annual scoring leaders, List of National Basketball Association annual rebounding leaders, and List of National Basketball Association annual assists leaders. Do you propose we do away with all of these templates or just this one?--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:13, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

delete, template creep. Frietjes (talk) 17:27, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I too conducted a sample of basketballers whom this template features. What I found was pages cluttered with templates at the bottom, diluting the usefulness of the information there. In all cases this template stood out as the least likely to be useful. This is a relatively obscure NBA statistic. Moreso than points, assists and rebounds. The separate list for this statistic might be useful. But adding this template to pages of highly accomplished basketballers, who will already have many templates, is not. Syek88 (talk) 22:42, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is not typically a statistic with much meaning historically. Rikster2 (talk) 19:28, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Per TonyTheTiger, you can't say that since there is an article that covers minutes leaders were shouldn't have this template. WP:NAVBOX states, "There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template." Just because a stat isn't included in a player's article doesn't mean the stat is insignificant. It means that the player's article should to be edited to include the stat. That's why there's always work to be done. Plus as Tony also notes the nominator offers no policy other than WP:TCREEP, which states "delete redundant and inappropriate templates". This template is no less redundant or inappropriate than all of the other NBA stat leader templates. –Brian Halvorsen (talk) 21:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well, this is a classic example of valuable encyclopedic information, because it gives someone today a first idea of which basketball players dominated media coverage during their amateur career. --bender235 (talk) 17:23, 10 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NAVBOX #4: "There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template'; none exists for this 2000s all-decade team.—Bagumba (talk) 10:32, 11 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

    - NAVBOX #4 exists specifically to demonstrate that the grouping is notable; if the parent article does not exist, it's dubious whether the topic is really encyclopedic. Bear in mind that not every grouping needs a template either, per WP:TCREEP (yes, an essay).—Bagumba (talk) 03:23, 22 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
