The result of the discussion was delete. As a note to the creator, creating similar templates is all fine and dandy, but navboxes still need to adhere to the rules and guidelines set forth by consensus. As a general note, this template is being deleted for lack of valid links, and should not be seen as any sort of precedent (which the creator is concerned about) for deleting zoo-related navboxes.

Blank template. Not sure what the original intent was either... Test page? Avicennasis @ 04:52, 7 Shevat 5777 / 04:52, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete In its original state, it did have a non-free image on it. Given that location is template space, and that our non-free content criteria forbids the use of non-free images in templates, I removed the image. It may have been in use prior to that. I'm not sure. Regardless, it is not in use now and serves no purpose. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:43, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This template serves no encyclopedic purpose other than to duplicate the efforts of WP:DELSORT and CAT:AFD. The "series of AFDs" are linked by the mere fact that they are multi-national and/or multi-event sporting events. This template clutters the AFDs onto which it is transcluded. See WP:NENAN and WP:CLNT.

TL;DR - This template is completely unnecessary. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 00:11, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, till all deletion discussions are done. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:40, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - not required. GiantSnowman 20:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Many users like myself do not frequent AFD and this template highlighted several nominations relevant to my knowledge area that I have since participated in. I appreciate the effort by Sportsfan to increase the transparency around these nominations. SFB 21:06, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I too don't see why we need an additional template, to duplicate what WP:DELSORT and CAT:AFD do, except that there seems to be a particular sense of urgency on the part of a few editors in getting as many group sports noms as possible through Afd -- and I don't see the urgency, nor the need to invent a new template to accelerate things. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 00:40, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as creator. Senseless deletion nomination. Wp:DELSORT does not have any page exclusively for sports event AFDs, and I fail to understand this duplicates CAT:AFD which is just a hapless mess of 755 AfDs. In any case, all the deletion nominations are quite similarly rationaled and editors commenting in one of then would also want to comment in the others. They are much more likely to use the links provided in this template rather than visit the delsort page, which has too many unrelated nominations. 103.6.159.68 (talk) 06:25, 31 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    As someone who spends a lot of time there, I think it's also been conducive to a lot of duplicative copypaste !votes. The template creator has also misunderstood: no one is saying that CAT:AFD alone is sufficient. But it already has Category:AfD debates (Games or sports), which currently has 71 articles -- not a "hapless mess." Moreover, the more specific Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sports currently has just 57 entries, including sub-sections for specific sports. One has the impression reading the template creator's comment above of "a hapless mess of 755 AfDs" that it's as if he's unaware that these parallel sports deletion sorting tools exist. Anyway, his massive template breaks up the discussion flow. And if we allow this one, why not other such mass nom templates, which would make Afd discussions almost unnavigable. There is no "hapless mess" here, other than perhaps the one the editor has created. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 16:03, 1 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The temolate wasn't originally massive - it had just 6 entries, it becane massive due to the large no. of subsequently opened AfDs. Anyway, i have edited it to show only the unclosed afds (with a link to see the closed ones). I hope it is less of a clutter now. 103.6.159.70 (talk) 01:28, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
