Unncessary template. Created by a banned user for sockpupptery but this is really article content on template space and violates Wikipedia:TG. If you want history of Hamas, you can view the articles. A template is not meant to carry this sort of information. It states Hamas biographies on the top of the sidebar and that already implies this is not a template for navigation but for details that go on an article. We already have Template:Hamas and Template:Hamas leaders for links to Hamas members/leaders. This template's scope is still unclear and not really suitable for what templates are for.

Delete. Mess of a template. Information is already coverage in the two templates in the nom. Easy fix to the unnecessary Wikicontent proliferation in this topic area. More doesn't mean better. Longhornsg (talk) 22:11, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

Delete. The content is already available in various navigation templates and the template being created by a user who was blocked is also a enough of a reason by itself. Gonnym (talk) 06:00, 10 September 2025 (UTC)reply

Redundant to main navbox, Template:Hamas. We don't need a sidebar when we have a navbox capable of doing the same thing. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:53, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

No transclusions or incoming links to explain why it was created. It is basically the same as {{Expand}}, which was deleted after a series of discussions. – Jonesey95 (talk) 20:11, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

Hello! I created this template to support planned edits at 1864-65 United States Senate elections and 1864 United States House of Representatives elections, which I will make in the coming days. I had intended to do so early, but was delayed by research, which is why I created the templates when I did. I would appreciate if they could remain in place. Thanks! Nathaniel Greene (talk) 20:23, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply
That's a vote to keep, for the record. Nathaniel Greene (talk) 22:14, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply
I don't mind withdrawing for now. But please do not make templates if you aren't planning on using them right away. If this is still unused, it will end up here again. Gonnym (talk) 06:04, 10 September 2025 (UTC)reply
Of course, my apologies. Thanks! Nathaniel Greene (talk) 13:26, 10 September 2025 (UTC)reply

Created around a month ago and left unused. If these are wanted, then these should be converted to regular tables and used in the body of the articles, as these templates aren't navigation but article content (a navigation would be a much shorter and simpler layout. These links are already included in templates like Template:Alfa Romeo). Gonnym (talk) 17:37, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:Infobox American football team. No comment on renaming, and not something that desperately needs the approval of TFD. Izno (talk) 20:34, 22 September 2025 (UTC)reply

Propose merging Template:Infobox American football team with Template:Infobox indoor American football team.
Seems like a pretty reasonable pair of templates that can be merged to one. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 09:59, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

This was initially nominated for speedy delete under WP:G5, but the request was denied due to it being "substantially edited by others". I would like to argue that the two non-sockpuppet edits were not "substantial" enough to disqualify it from G5, as one was deleting poor formatting and the other was fixing an error. The statistics still show the authorship as 100% attributed to the sockpuppet. Painting17 (talk) 00:01, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply

I agree with the G5. The two other editors did cleanup edits after the sock created the template. While the 3 links are valid, I'd rather not give the banned user any credit here. Gonnym (talk) 05:58, 9 September 2025 (UTC)reply
