January 8

Transcluded in only two articles, this track list template does not serve its purpose if none of the other songs use it. Since most of the other songs are well-known and well-covered Christmas songs, there'd be no reason to add this template to them.

Gwen Stefani album track list templates

Another set of track list templates that are simply redundant to the navigation within a single navbox, in this case {{Gwen Stefani songs}}. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 18:21, 8 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars I understand your point, but the reason I created these templates was because on the mobile version of Wikipedia, the {{Gwen Stefani songs}} template is not visible to the viewer. When the parent album track list template is added to the article, the corresponding album and its list of songs is. If these templates get deleted, the mobile viewer loses access to these lists.

So all Navboxes are useless on Mobile devices? Readers certainly don't need a track list for an album on every song article because you can already link to the album from the infobox without it. The one for the Christmas album is completely unnecessary though since it's only in two articles and you'd never include in Jingle Bells, Winter Wonderland, etc. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 21:33, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Also, why aren't the others fully utilized? They have 10, 6, and 5 links but only 3, 1, and 2 transclusions, respectively. StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 22:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Westlife album track list templates

Initial nomination was for {{The Love Album tracks}}:

A track listing template to place into the infobox of song articles, but this one is transcluded in only one song because the album is an album of cover songs and these aren't notable Westlife songs to include even an infobox for each one nor needed to link to other songs that aren't theirs.

However, there has been precedent through the TfD process of deleting similar templates when there is a navbox which makes navigation through these track listing redundant, and that is the case here with the existence of {{Westlife songs}} which displays each of these songs by album.
