We don't make such navboxes. Totally cherry-picking. Fails navbox purpose. Störm (talk) 17:46, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:New message with Template:New discussion.
Two templates with the same purpose. I suggest redirecting {{New message}} to {{New discussion}} --Trialpears (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Replace {{New message}} with {{New discussion}}. "Message" to me means sending a private message similar to other messaging services, which is obviously not what happens here. --Gonnym (talk) 06:08, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – The templates don't have the same purpose: "new message" is specifically for user talk pages, where other users might indeed send messages to a particular user, whereas "new discussion" is a more generic link that might work with any page that has discussions on it. I don't see a compelling need to merge or replace here. Mz7 (talk) 10:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Oppose this particular merge per Mz7. However, {{new message}}, {{user new message}}, {{message}}, and {{leave message}} appear to serve the same purpose with only color, phrasing and minor functionality changes ({{new message}} creates a new section in the current page, {{User new message}} always goes to the User talk namespace, and the other two create the section in the associated talk namespace). They could probably be considered for merging in a separate discussion if this one closes as keep (if it's closed as merge instead, then they should all be merged for consistency).
Note that {{Message}} has 902 transclusions and {{User new message}} has 411, while {{New discussion}} has 237. –Sonicwave talk 23:50, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This template is based on arbitrary criteria, not usual to how we create navboxes. In WP book, if company has an article then it should be in the related template, if any. Otherwise, specify criteria by using reliable source. To me, useless as navbox. Störm (talk) 20:22, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Störm, can you offer a bit more explanation? I couldn't understand what you meant by "if company has an article then it should be in the related template, if any. Otherwise, specify criteria by using reliable source." I literally don't know what those sentences mean. I do see that the navbox does not tick many of the criteria at WP:NAVBOX. But I also see that the capacity to have an overview of potentially related topics of interest could be lost if the template is simply deleted. other views? hamiltonstone (talk) 05:08, 10 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Mistakenly moved to template mainspace, perhaps as part of attempt to evade CSD. David Biddulph (talk) 17:24, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unused {{s-line}} templates for the Texas and Pacific Railway. Never (near as I can tell/remember) implemented. Any new implementation would need to be with {{Adjacent stations}}. There are two dependent s-line data modules which should also be deleted. Mackensen (talk) 17:13, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only one article link, not useful for navigation Aloneinthewild (talk) 15:57, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, too many redlinks, the time for this navbox has not yet come. Maybe in the future though. Mujinga (talk) 16:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Only four links, one of which is a redirect to another. Template provides little context and the three articles are all interlinked anyway. Seems unnecessary. PC78 (talk) 15:36, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Navigates too little content. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 08:26, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - season 1 does not have an article, so it navigates between the series and season 2. The two winners should not even be included in the navbox. TV series template do not include links to specific cast members, but for some reason reality series editors feel the need to add these links. --Gonnym (talk) 09:59, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - there isn't enough to justify a navbox presently. Mujinga (talk) 16:28, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
