The substance of this sidebar is redundant to the lead of the Narendra Modi article, and that is the only article where this is transcluded. We already have a Template:Narendra Modi series, so this doesn't fill that niche either. Vanamonde (Talk) 01:42, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

The Template:Narendra Modi series is generally for editors and not readers. This template could be of great help for readers who don't want to go through the thorough reading inside the article (Furthermore many events in his personal life and political career coincide). Besides I've created the template after seeing Template:Mahathir Mohamad timeline which was created around 1 year ago. And I don't think it violates any Wikipedia Rule either.

Every significant incident in this sidebar is already in the lead; everything else ought not to be in such a short summary. This is why we have article leads. If we have readers who are interested in the topic, but don't even want to read the lead of an article, then an encyclopedia is not what they're looking for anyway. You do realize your argument could apply to every single article on here? Vanamonde (Talk) 15:08, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

• Keep templates are meant as adjunts to editors or readers and Manasbose is at least one editor that feels that template is useful to speed up and localise editing. I think this is a good enough reason to keep the template. --Tom (LT) (talk) 09:38, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
