This new template is not needed, it serves vague navigational function and duplicates the contents of other existing navboxes. Drdpw (talk) 22:36, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Context from template OP I've been making stuff like {{Canadian premiers, 1920s}}, {{Canadian viceroys, 1920s}}, and {{Australian premiers, 1920s}}, and thought that this would be a good American analog. I might, for one, want to know who served as the Chief Justice in a certain era, but only know who served as the President, for example. Or more cogently, who served as President pro tem when so-and-so was Speaker. If it makes the template more cogent we could remove the whips (and even party leaders), but if consensus deems this irreparably doomed I won't strongly oppose deletion. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 22:43, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • CRwikiCA They save a click or two; I've often caught myself browsing premier articles and wondering who was the premier of X at the same time Y was the premier of Z. With the Canadian/Australian navboxes, I'm able to answer that directly without having to go to an article either by clicking or, heaven forbid, typing in the search bar. I can't say my use case is typical, but it is nonzero and I certainly think the Canadian/Australian premier and viceroy navboxes, with their well-defined criteria for inclusion and cohesiveness, fall if nothing else on the "harmless" side of "useless but harmless". (For the record, they in turn were inspired by car model timelines such as {{Ford United States & Canada timeline 1980 to present}} so they have very vague precedent.) While you could certainly add a lot more information (such as birth and death dates, appointing officials, etc.) in an article, there's nothing that precludes doing so alongside the navboxes; indeed, if the standard for navbox inclusion were "this information couldn't be included in an article", we'd have hardly any navboxes at all.
    This is all just for the Canadian/Australian templates, mind you. The specific template up for discussion has more nebulous inclusion criteria and could thus be considered cruftier. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 15:47, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    That is a good point, John M Wolfson, about these navboxes in general. The TfD is for the American template in particular and the main point Drdpw makes is that it is basically a duplicate of existing navboxes. Having 50 states will make it impossible to duplicate the CAN or AUS versions with governors. What are the inclusion criteria? A lot of the people in this navbox already have multiple other navboxes as well, so if there is a lot of duplication that would negate the benefit of this specific one.

  • Delete per nomination. We don't need a navbox with a timeline format for any world leader for any decade in either country. General navboxes are doing the job just fine. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:49, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom and WikiCleanerMan. Decorative and serves no useful purpose. Nigej (talk) 20:45, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page doesn't seem to be a template, and doesn't establish sufficient notability to be moved to article space. Certes (talk) 16:56, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
