Template:Nanotechnology in fiction (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

WP:NENAN. This is basically a navbox for the sake of having a navbox: the only significant coverage of the subject is in nanotechnology in fiction. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) - talk 11:29, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. As the person who made this navbox a number of years back, I have to say that it's not really as useful now as it was back then. There used to be three different articles on aspects of nanotechnology in fiction and popular culture, but one of them got deleted a while ago. The "notable references" block has also been prone to people adding trivial examples. I wouldn't be especially opposed to this particular navbox being removed at this point.

Template:Navigation tabs (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a very domain-specific styling system dating back to 2007 which is used to style two navbox templates ({{Dallas Neighborhoods}} and {{Downtown Oklahoma City}} in a way which suggests they have navigation tabs. This doesn't work as one might expect (clicking on another tab sends one to the top of the article on the relates area, rather than switching tabs), and it's inconsistent with the expected navbox layout used everywhere else in the project. Lastly, it's very similarly named to {{page tabs}} and as such is likely to cause confusion. I'm happy to rework the two navboxes in question once it's deleted. The only uses outside of those two navboxes (and the articles transcluding them obviously) are on an old bit of test code by the Astronomy WikiProject which seems to have been abandoned in favour of a hand-build solution.

Template:R.E. Mouscron squad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The template lists all the current football players of R.E. Mouscron, a Belgian association football team that went bankrupt in 2009. As such, the team has no players (anymore). Most of the players in the list either stopped playing football or moved to different clubs. The new team which is somewhat of a continuation (merger with R.R.C. Peruwelz) is called Royal Mouscron-Péruwelz, but it's a new team with different colors. If needed, a new template should be created for this team (but currently they play in division three, so won't happen soon...) Pelotastalk|contribs 10:22, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Florida Hospitals (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is presumably intended, eventually, to include all of the hospitals in Florida, or at least all of those that will have Wikipedia articles. However, the template, which is organized by county, is already fairly large, even though it only covers 11 of the 67 counties in the state so far. Although "hospitals in Florida" might be suitable as a list, it is not a topic that would be suitable to have a (non-list) article of its own, nor do the articles about hospitals shown in this template normally link to articles about other hospitals shown in the template. Consequently, under the guideline at Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and navigation templates, this is not a suitable template and should be deleted.

There is already a List of hospitals in Florida, and it is a huge (12 screens) wikitable. Maryland, Oregon and Virginia have templates of their hospitals, but they are much smaller. The intent was to provide a more concise source where a hospital could be located within a few pages, rather than scroll, scroll, scroll. Mgrē@sŏn 12:53, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
While granting that a template such as this takes up less space than the corresponding list by design, it should be noted that the List of hospitals in Florida lists about five times as many hospitals as Template:Florida Hospitals does. If Template:Florida Hospitals included all the hospitals on List of hospitals in Florida, it would probably require scrolling too. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:19, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
