Navbox with two entries (three if you count the header). Links between these items appear throughout all the articles already. Netoholic @ 16:34, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

.All of the championships listed here have been deleted via AfD and the main article has recently been deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Defiant Wrestling (2nd nomination). If the championships aren't notable, and the promotion itself isn't notable, then a navbox is not useful.LM2000 (talk) 06:45, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. I had forgotten that this template existed and probably would have nominated it myself if I had realised that it was still around and still being used in articles. As LM2000 says, this is not useful as a navbox. It even has entries in it which are not articles at all, so there is no possibility of navigation there. What it does do is preserve trivial details about a subject that Wikipedia has already determined to be not notable enough for coverage. In effect (although I'm not sure whether this is intentional) it serves to bypass the "Delete" result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Defiant Championship. It could even encourage some poor wrestling fan to waste their time trying to remake the deleted articles in good faith, without knowing that this has already been deemed a bad idea, and then to get accused of being another sockpuppet of the last bunch when they are not. Lets not leave this lying around as a rake for somebody to step on. --DanielRigal (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Weird, I looked for this after the main page was deleted and couldn't find it, so I figured it already was deleted. Served no purpose before, definitely doesn't now. - GalatzTalk 01:31, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
