The result of the discussion was Delete. It is, however, suggestive that these navigational boxes will never acquire enough articles to be valid navigational tools :D. Happy‑melon 20:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Not used and doesn't appear useful as a template. Seems to be an attempt to replace {{Infobox Governor}} –OrangeDog (talk • edits) 02:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Delete per nom; not useful, possibly a test page. Terraxos (talk) 19:58, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Delete. I believe the template creator may have been trying to update the infobox on the Marco Lopez page because Lopez was appointed to a new position, but created this in error. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:04, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

- Template:911tm (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Primary reason for nominating this template, is because there is already a template covering the exact same topic (Template:911ct). This template is simply superfluous. I also think a sidebar template this long can be disruptive in smaller articles (see Jeff Boss). So I prefer we keep the other one. Peephole (talk) 01:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

- Delete too long, the other template is superior. Hut 8.5 19:53, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Strong Keep or merge/speedy close because of canvassing Nominator canvassed over ten people about this deletion nomination.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], too my knowledge all of them share Peepholes POV: Delete all alternative theories from wikipedia. The nominator's reason is a classic, Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions WP:OTHERSTUFF, "The nature of Wikipedia means that you cannot make a convincing argument based solely on what other articles do or do not exist." The templates are different, and server different purposes, not all editors want a large template on the bottom of their page. The "template is too long" argument can easily be taken care of in the article, by employing a collapsible bar, per, WP:INTROTODELETE "deletion should not be used as a way to improve an article, or a reaction to a bad article." An AfD is the wrong place to fix the template. The template can easily be merged, without the drama of a AfD, as per the policy WP:PRESERVE: Whatever you do, endeavour to preserve information. Instead of removing, (merge)... Ikip (talk) 03:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment from nom: Oh please, I went through the old AfD's and left a message at persons who advocated to keep the template (User:Warren [11], user:fabartus[12], user:striver [13]) and if I recall correctly, user:bov and user:rootology were very much into the whole conspiracy stuff. A little bit of good faith, please. Also, I moved all information from the 911tm template to the 911ct template so nothing will be lost, all in the spirit of WP:PRESERVE. Finally, WP:OTHERSTUFF was never meant to prevent us from deleting duplicate articles/templates.--Peephole (talk) 05:36, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment to Ikip: I have no idea who Peephole is, or if I share their point of view on this topic. It is also fairly standard practice on Wikipedia to inform editors who have previously been interested in a topic, to inform them that new discussion on the topic is taking place. Warren -talk- 03:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
- Note to closing administrator I took less than a minute and made this template a collapsible template, so the "too long" argument is now moot. Ikip (talk) 03:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Delete - We don't need two templates to list these individuals. Also, per WP:BLP, templates are not great for this sort of thing, since it's more difficult to provide citations for verifiability and explain nuances of a person's involvement with the 9/11 truth movement. --Aude (talk) 16:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
- Delete; I think {{911ct}} will handle this just fine. I am generally of the belief that vertical navboxes should be short and to the point (like the one I did for {{Windows Vista}}), and the purpose of every link should be readily understood. Vertical navboxes take away horizontal reading space from the user; if we're going to use them at all, make it good! Warren -talk- 03:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
