Template:ScratchspinImg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

I've listed a related page at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Scratchspin images. This template is basically an advertisement for a private photographer who does not want to release images. I asked User:Carnildo about this before moving on, and his/her response was: "The terms of use on that site restrict re-use too much. In particular, it doesn't allow non-website use, it does not allow certain classes of commercial use, and it does not appear to allow modification of the images. I'd shoot the template and list the images for deletion -- there's nothing special about the images, so they don't qualify under Wikipedia:Fair use."

Template:Icons (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
No text or anything, just adds images to Category:Icons. No need for a template to do that. JYolkowski // talk 18:42, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Capmv (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
This template is redundant since a speedy deletion criteria (csd-g6) and the related template {{db-histmerge}} exist (and the category that was only populated by this template ended up deleted a few weeks ago). Having two ways of accomplishing the same thing is confusing and not very useful. - Bobet 14:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User paedophile (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Content: Userbox saying "This user identifies as a pedophile" with two related symbols

Needlessly provocative. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 06:06, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • How is it? Only as much as {{User gay}}, {{User lesbian}} and etc., surely. None of which are particularly relevant to Wikipedia, at any rate, but as long as we're doing that sort of thing... // paroxysm (n) 06:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep Created in good faith by Paroxysm; doesn't promote a point of view or attack anything, so I don't see how it could be provocative at all. Ashibaka tock 06:13, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Exceptionally weak keep. It can be considered provacative, and I abhor the viewpoint, but nonetheless, it is helpful to know that a person identifies as a pedophile when working with them on an encyclopedia such as this. --Blu Aardvark | (talk) | (contribs) 06:20, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. Physchim62 (talk) 06:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Because once again, the honchos are missing the point. Wikipedia should have the fortitude to say that garbage like pedophiles, fascists, and racists are not welcome here, have no "rights" other than to leave before they are reported to the authorities for harassment.
Until honchos manage to do that, they should have to bear the consequences of their indecision on their conscience. --Daniel 06:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps I should make a boilerplate box hat says: This is a list of userboxes that are to be used on userpages only. The Wikipedia Foundation does not support or condone any of the viewpoints expressed here.--God of War 19:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree completely. Having an orientation towards children has nothing to do with sexual abuse. I find deleting it just as intolerant and repressive as deleting a template marking an individual as having a homosexual or asexual orientation. Such an action is incredibly worrisome to me.

Template:User wishful (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Unused template, needlessly provocative. It's one thing to have an opinion, but Wikipedia is not a blog or a soapbox. This sort of polemic does nothing to advance the goal of writing an encyclopedia. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 05:28, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This has been speedied see:
15:50, 5 February 2006 Doc glasgow deleted "Template:User wishful" (attack - it is one thing to declare a POV - another to declare that the US is not in fact a democracy)[1]
Why not? I'm declaring it right now; the United States is not, in fact, a democracy. It is a federal republic. And it's better that way. Anyway, Keep for all those who would like to see mob rule. Rogue 9 10:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS. But people should stop using Wikimedia resources for utterly ridiculous purposes. -Splashtalk 23:35, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User black coffee (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Where will it stop? We already have Template:user coffee. Do we really need this? What's next, Template:user black coffee, one sugar, Template:user coffee cream, Template:user decaf, half-and-half, no sugar, Template:user capuccino, double shot espresso, soy milk, artificial sweetener? --MarkSweep (call me collect) 05:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User USA Police State (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Needlessly provocative. It's one thing to have an opinion, but Wikipedia is not a blog or a soapbox. This sort of polemic does nothing to advance the goal of writing an encyclopedia, and everything to poison the well and convey the message that the Wikipedia community is all about factions identified by reductionist bumper stickers. --MarkSweep (call me collect) 04:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Per norm? what norm? If you remember the mass deletion of userboxes with a POV you should know that consensus cleary favored allowing userboxes with a POV. WP:UBP has no agreed upon policy yet. What is this norm you speak of?--God of War 00:24, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Per nom., short for per nomination. -- Dalbury(Talk) 00:45, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep Userpages are not NPOV-bound, as User:Dussst stated, thus by definition political viewpoints may be expressed, provided the expression of such is not provocative - which this user box is NOT. In my eyes, it is not more provocative than the statement "This user supports George W. Bush" or "This user is an American Patriot" - no one has ever put up a TfD for that one. For that matter, several users might find this user page very provocative - no one has ever objected to the presentation or the views expressed here. Either ban all content from user pages, which is not an acceptable solution, or do NOT ban ANY (with certain exceptions, of course). Anything else is POV censorship.

Template:Al-Salam poeti (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
The template only has one valid link (out of six). None of the sister ships have articles yet, and it's only the Boccaccio 98 which has an "interesting" story. As it is now, there's no point in it. kallemax 01:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
