Unused navbox which contains nothing but red links except for the main link. TheCatalyst31 Reaction•Creation 22:48, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - All of the individual game articles were previously deleted at AfD; see, e.g., Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2013 AdvoCare Texas Kickoff. The decision was made to treat individual kickoff games as regular season contests, i.e., not inherently notable. In the absence of individual game articles, this navbox serves no reader navigation purpose. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:04, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete As far as I know, a navigation template is to navigate. With just one yearversion linked, there is nothing to navigate... The Banner talk 16:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Only links three pages, and the 2016 page is too soon while the 2015 page was just sent to AfD Legacypac (talk) 12:06, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Fails WP:NAVBOX. -- Mikeblas (talk) 14:41, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Links only two real pages now that the 2015 article has been redirected. The 2016 article is proposed for deletion. No useful navigation. • Gene93k (talk) 00:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WP:EXISTING -- It is used in only two articles, 1950 Salad Bowl & Xavier Musketeers football, making it hard to navigate. Also fails WP:NAVBOX No. 4: "There should be a Wikipedia article on the subject of the template". ❄ Corkythehornetfan ❄ 02:26, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Contrary to the nomination, the navbox properly navigates between all the relevant articles on the subject. I'm not sure what is "hard" about this and certainly no readers have complained in the intervening years. WP:NAVBOX is a guideline, not policy, and it's not a requirement that a navbox pass all the suggested guidelines: "Good templates generally follow some of these guidelines". The navbox "passes" Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 5 and would be conspicuous by its absence. In general, articles on college football bowl games contain navigational templates for both teams. It's a curious fact of history that Xavier only played in the 1950 Salad Bowl before discontinuing its program. Nevertheless, the presence of this template (with solitary link) provides quick reference for the reader and reassures them that this is Xavier's sole football bowl game. There is value in this completeness which would be lost in deleting the template. Mackensen (talk) 02:51, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Not enough links....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 11:40, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- How many would be enough? I haven't seen a policy which discusses that question. Mackensen (talk) 15:05, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- At least four to help it navigate. Plus the parent article which would make five. You can see here and here that pretty much sum it up. You can look at the other sports templates deletions here, as well and see their discussions. Please keep in mind that not everything needs a navbox. This can be easily placed in a WP:SEEALSO section or by using the ((see also)) template in the History section. Since it is already listed in the History section, it'd have to use the ((see also)) template per WP:SEEALSO. ❄ Corkythehornetfan ❄ 00:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I have replaced the bowl game template with the larger Xaiver football template, which has many links. This isn't standard for bowl game articles, but might make sense for these small programs. Mackensen (talk) 01:09, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Fails multiple criteria of WP:NAVBOX, including the lack of an article or list on the navbox subject. Moreover, one link is never enough to justify a navbox. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 19:10, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. A navbox is intended to facilitate navigation among "a small, well-defined group of articles." See WP:NAVBOX. Here, there is only one item in the list -- one is not a "group." Cbl62 (talk) 15:51, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
