Keep - @Dough4872: created much of this navbox. Per @Secondarywaltz:, "the whole purpose of a navbox is to be inserted in all the related articles to allow you to navigate between them. A list just does not allow you to come and go and jump between them. This is exactly what a navbox is for." Additionally, this is a navbox of a company and its subsidiaries, like other company navigation boxes. Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2012 June 9 discussed a similar navbox. --Jax 0677 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It seems almost like a strawman to ask for a template of this type to be deleted. As Jax 0677 noted, this navbox does serve a specific purpose. Swishyhair (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - As mentioned above, I don't understand why this navbox should be deleted as it serves a specific purpose to navigate between the various GGP properties. Swishyhair (talk) 23:50, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I very much doubt whatever navigation benefit this navbox may provide surpasses the frustration it induces. It should be (a) condensed in whatever manner appropriate to make it useable for the purpose of navigation (see Template:General Growth Properties/sandbox for my take on it) and (b) listified for the purpose of presenting all of the pertinent information in a manageable format.

Rewrite per Alakzi. While it is useful its structure is overly complicated. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 08:17, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I suppose that if all of the relevant links remain in and are reasonably added to the navbox, there are no collapsible subnavboxes within, and the state is "collapsed" (so that it does not initially show up expanded on every page that it occupies), then we can rewrite this navbox. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:14, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Testcases side by side by side (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only used on 8 pages other than itself and its subpages. Can be replaced with {{Testcase table}}. Jc86035 (talk • contribs) Use {{re|Jc86035}} to reply to me 09:56, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Jc86035: How do you propose to replace the remaining transclusions, short of simply substituting the template? Alakzi (talk) 19:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Alakzi: If you've (or someone else has) substituted the transclusions which had the same parameters for all three templates already, then yes, on the remaining three pages where it's used (where the parameters are different for each template) it'll have to be substituted or replaced with {{Div col}} or something like that.
