The result of the discussion was delete. ~ RobTalk 13:49, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Main article for this template has been deleted. Template had only two remaining transclusions, both of which I have just removed. I see no current or future use for this navigation template. Safiel (talk) 23:54, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Safiel: The template was nominated for speedy under WP:G8 as the main article New Talent Awards is already deleted. Why was the CSD declined and this TfD started? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:52, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Dharmadhyaksha: A navigation template does not fall within the strict requirements of CSD G8. It is not a subpage or a talkpage of a deleted page. In the past, I have had administrators decline my speedy deletion attempts on templates and require that I go through TfD instead. I would actually like to see CSD G8 expanded to include navigation templates, but for now, that is not the case. Safiel (talk) 16:54, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Seems that admins differ on this point of view. Template:TheGlobalIndianHonourBestActress and Template:TheGlobalIndianHonourBestActor have been deleted previously on same CSD criteria. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 17:22, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
As there does seem to be confusion and differences of opinion on this issue, I have left a message at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion asking for some general guidance on the issue. Safiel (talk) 20:41, 28 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for starting the discussion. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 03:27, 29 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that this template is deleted because it adds to 'navbox clutter' on pages and does not help readers navigate between pages.

I propose that this template is instead converted to a table placed on the page Collagen disease, and links provided (if necessary) in the 'see also' sections. I just do not think this template helps readers, and hence am proposing this. I look forward to the opinions of other editors Tom (LT) (talk) 15:49, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No longer used by Template:Infobox political party, should be without any transclusions after cache is fully updated. PanchoS (talk) 13:32, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge by substituting transclusions of MTR after conversion to a wrapper that's safe to substitute. Unopposed. ~ RobTalk 14:00, 2 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox MTR with Template:Infobox station.
This can be replaced by {{Infobox station}}; it is not necessary to have a separate infobox template for every system.

I am the creator of {{Infobox MTR}} (which is a wrapper based on {{Infobox station}}), which I was replacing {{Infobox MTR station}} with acc. to this TfD discussion, but stopped replacing it due to lack of interest. I don't think that it was much of a good idea to make this wrapper, given that it's actually completely unnecessary. While it automatically fills in most of the parameters of {{Infobox station}} (the only advantage), it uses Module:HK-MTR stations (for things like the lines and number of platforms) instead of getting values from Wikidata, as is now possible. It would be a better idea to automatically call values from Wikidata through {{Infobox station}} instead. Merging would involve substituting this template where it's used (as well as other enclosed template calls using {{{|safesubst:}}}).
