:I completely agree. Seems to me to be a case of [[WP:NENA|not everything needs a navbox]], and I share your concern of the navbox clutter that is likely to ensue. I agree a category would be better. [[User:Oknazevad|oknazevad]] ([[User talk:Oknazevad|talk]]) 16:48, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Delete

Delete becuase there is only one article with useful information (European witchcraft) — Stevey7788 (talk) 01:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

what is the point of creating a template with lots of redlinks, apparently with no intention to ever write the articles linked? I created redirects now, but this template should really be altered to link to a useful collection of existing articles, not to what somebody at some point thought would be useful to have. dab (𒁳) 08:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The template has since been filled up, rendering this need for deletion obsolete. (Midnightblueowl (talk) 19:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Criteria for inclusion

What is the rationale for including Chronicles of Narnia here? It doesn't seem to me that the series deals with witchcraft in a manner that is significantly different from many other fantasy series. If it were up to me, I would include only works for which witchcraft is a central theme. I'm not sure that's the case for Narnia, certainly not to the degree of the other works listed. My concerns are that (1) the article doesn't need a navbox with mostly unrelated topics, and (2) this navbox doesn't need links to articles that don't really benefit the subject. I titled this section generically because I expected to find other works that might not belong, and even though the rest of the current list have much stronger cases for inclusion, there ought to be a line drawn somewhere in general.

Actually, now that I look at WP:NAV, I would say that most if not all of the fictional works should be removed. They're not really part of any coherent group that a reader would generally want to navigate through. A category would serve the intent far better (and the category could certainly be included in the navbox). Thoughts?
