The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was withdrawn as per request at my user talk. Listifying can be done by any interested editor when template deletion isn't bundled together with it. ~ Rob13Talk 23:30, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Listify. Of the 20 quarterbacks listed in this navbox, only six have articles; the rest aren't even redlinked (probably because they will never meet WP:NCOLLATH). If you think about it, this makes sense, since no college program in its history is going to have all (or even a majority) of its quarterbacks be notable enough to meet WP:NCOLLATH. Per WP:NAV, unlinked entries should be avoided in navboxes; a proliferation of redlinks is also discouraged. I think this is a perfect example of where a list would be much more appropriate than a navbox. In a list article there is no issue with having redlinked and unlinked names. In fact, we already have Category:Lists of college football quarterbacks which has far fewer articles than we have navboxes in Category:American college football quarterback navigational boxes. Note that no List of Appalachian State Mountaineers starting quarterbacks existed as of the posting of this TfD, and the title link for the navbox was to Appalachian State Mountaineers football.

Listify, keep, and remove the unlinked names from the template. As per my earlier comment here. Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:13, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
