Texas county navboxes

[edit]
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 no consensus. No prejudice against speedy renomination of a smaller bundle. (non-admin closure) ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 17:23, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mass nomination of a bunch of Texas county navboxes, per the outcomes at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 November 16#Template:Terrell County, Texas and Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 November 18#Template:Loving County, Texas. WP:NENAN, all of these have 2-4 bluelinked names in them (and in a remarkable achievement, Template:Crockett County, Texas only has 1!), so they have no to almost no use as navigational aids and only serve to be unhelpful clutter. (First time doing a bundled nomination at TfD, so if I've managed to bollox something up definitely let me know) The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 00:04, 21 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

You need to present a legitimate rationale for deletion besides an essay and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Deleting everything at once because "it's easier" is wasteful and destructive. ♟♙ (talk) 15:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I did present a rationale; that having a navbox with 1, 2, 3, or 4 links is unnecessary clutter. It chews up space where a simple list in each county article would be far more efficient. There's no good reason to have the same discussion more than 50 times if it's all addressing the same issue. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 16:57, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
And I dispute that deletion rationale with the counterargument that Navboxes are much more consistent across the board and cleaner than using something different for every article based on an arbitrary number decided by one or two people. ♟♙ (talk) 18:53, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, now I see where you're going. The issue I have with that is that it's not standard practice to have navboxes for such small numbers in any other area (for instance, there's no navbox for Ram Jam albums because there are only 3 possible entries), and having that there actively interferes with getting to better-populated and more helpful navboxes (in this case, for instance, all of these counties are noted in in their respective regions of Texas navbox). But that's just me. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 19:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • (outdent) I also want to dispute the assertion that many or most of these can never be expanded beyond an entry or two. In just two days, I've expanded two of them (Deaf Smith County and Parmer County) to 6 and 7 entries. It's true that this part of the US is quite sparsely populated, but that doesn't mean there are or were no settlements there. EDIT: Crockett County now has 8 entries. ♟♙ (talk) 20:08, 7 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
