We do not need to use navboxes to list every single show that has ever been produced by a network. Connection between the series are generally tangential. We have {{ GMA Network (current and upcoming original programming)}} for the current programming, and whilst that is also probably unnecessary, that should suffice. We don't have entire navboxes devoted to BBC drama series or ABC sitcoms, etc, etc. This can all be dealt with by categories and lists. -- wooden superman 14:05, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

This is a navbox used for templates and has 3 links, with 1 of them not even using this template on its article page (as it isn't a template). 2 links don't really need a template and a "See also" can be enough. Gonnym ( talk) 13:17, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Keep: at least in the case of Portuguese (or Portugal-based sportspeople for a long period of time), it's quite informative. I do agree it's not to be used as a reference in an article (i.e. in body of text) as it is user-generated, but as a harmless external link it provides useful information.

First, this navbox is effectively redundant to Category:Trolleybus systems by city and Category:Defunct trolleybus systems by city (and to some degree List of trolleybus systems), thus violating the template namespace guideline that "Templates should not be used to create lists of links to other articles when a category, list page, or 'See also' section list can perform the same function." Second, the subject is too broad. As stated in the articles Trolleybus and Trolleybus usage by country (with references), there are approximately 300 existing trolleybus systems around the world, and more than 500 defunct systems have existed in the past. This template misleadingly lists only a fraction of the systems its title covers, but if it were to list all of them, more than 80% would be red links (the two categories mentioned above show that WP articles exist for about 150 of the 800 systems) – with the vast majority not likely ever to receive articles. Even among just the approx. 300 existing trolleybus systems, only around 80 have Wikipedia articles, a large number of which are stubs, mostly created in 2011 and never significantly expanded in the eight years since. Russia alone has around 85 existing systems, and almost none of them have Wikipedia articles. The template misleadingly lists only one Russian system (Moscow, and that single-sentence stub is not actually about the trolleybus system), but if it were to list the others, it would mean an additional 80+ red links in a template already replete with red links.

Template:Number to word should be kept due to the more descriptive name and higher usage (475 vs. 135). Could someone kindly tag the templates as I don't think I'm allowed to. –
