Delete. Of the 82 quarterbacks listed in this navbox, just under half (40 of 82) are redlinks. If you think about it, this makes sense, since no college program in its history is going to have all (or even a majority) of its quarterbacks be notable enough to meet WP:NCOLLATH. Per WP:NAV, unlinked entries should be avoided in navboxes; a proliferation of redlinks is also discouraged. I think this is a perfect example of where a list would be much more appropriate than a navbox. In a list article there is no issue with having redlinked and unlinked names. In fact, we already have Category:Lists of college football quarterbacks which has far fewer articles than we have navboxes in Category:American college football quarterback navigational boxes. Note that List of Alabama Crimson Tide starting quarterbacks already exists. –Grondemar 15:14, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Keep. Not sure what to do about the G5s, but most of the red-linked ones at a school about Alabama are notable enough to have an article, even if no one has made one yet. Jhn31 (talk) 04:10, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I thought the rule was that navboxes should be made between existing articles; see WP:EXISTING. How do we know that the red-linked Alabama quarterbacks are notable, since there are no articles and therefore no linked sources asserting notability? –Grondemar 23:09, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Keep, and remove the unlinked names from the template. As per my earlier comment here. Ejgreen77 (talk) 04:13, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

• Keep. Alabama is one of the elite programs in college football history. Its starting quarterbacks (at a minimum, those in the modern era) are high profile figures who generate extensive, substantive, coverage in mainstream media sources. A navbox linking the individuals who have held this role seems to me a reasonable and helpful navigational tool. I do not think such a navbox should include every backup or second string quarterback who ever played a down; rather, the navbox should be limited to those who were starters and satisfy an applicable notability standard.

Propose merging Template:Heads of the Ministries of the Government of India with Template:Union ministries of India.
I propose to merge both the templates to create one template since both are about same topics. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 20:14, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Oppose Both templates are not about the same topics. One is about ministries, the other lists of ministers.—indopug (talk) 08:56, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
