This isn't a useful criteria for a navbox. While starting quarterbacks may justify a navbox, long snappers certainly don't. This takes editor time to maintain and provides no real benefit to our readers. ~ RobTalk 03:56, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I can't imagine a scenario where a user would want to navigate between every long snapper in the NFL. Lizard (talk) 04:07, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. I don't care if it is deleted, as it's not as important as other similar ones, but I really don't see the harm in keeping it either. It also doesn't require much maintaining, since how often are long snappers replaced? Last season you had a couple new ones for week 1, had one get injured mid season, and another in week 16. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 04:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's more the precedent, from my point of view. Imagine the navbox cruft that would result if people started creating {{Current NFL wide receivers}} and similar. ~ RobTalk 04:59, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Rob, this template is used for "starting" long snappers only. Not every, single on in the league. CrashUnderride 06:43, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral - Along the lines of Dissident, but if we delete this, I propose we delete the templates for starting QBs and all other ones, should there be any other. They serve the, little purpose. CrashUnderride 06:43, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm neutral on the QB ones, but I think the punter, placekicker, and this one should go. I don't think "it does no harm" is a valid reason for keeping anything. If it's not helpful, it shouldn't exist. Lizard (talk) 18:17, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Just noting that my opinion is exactly Lizard's. Neutral on QBs and support deleting all others. I'll probably mass-nominate all but the starting quarterbacks once this is closed as delete. ~ RobTalk 01:11, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree that it's not helpful at all, but it should probably be deleted because no main article exists for it (isn't that a requirement for navboxes?) The starting QB navbox has one, and should stay, but that's another topic. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 10:14, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
