*'''Keep''' per its being an expression of a characteristic of a user within userspace.  Further, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue.  These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians.  That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture;  they are not used in article space.

::*First, these aren't "articles" they are Templated Userboxes.

* '''Comment/Suggestion''' While normally I would agree with that, I would suggest that in this case, there are differences in the userboxes.  For example, some are harmless humor.  Others are mean-spirited.  Others describe users' sexual practices.  I would suggest that if you want to vote en masse to keep, you look at each of the userboxes and make sure that there aren't some you believe should be destroyed.  For example, [[Template:user hate]] is overtly inflammatory and ought to be speedied.  I would imagine that even most ardent userbox supporters, myself included, would not want to vote to keep that one.  Thus, I would suggest one thing: if you want to vote en masse, perhaps it would be a good idea to list with your vote the userboxes you are actually voting in favor of or against, eg, "delete everything but xxx" or "keep everything but xxx", etc.  [[User:BigDT|BigDT]] 18:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedians are writing text, but no communication is happening. No understanding anywhere. Anyway, I think that it is more prudent to keep userboxes as-is for the time being, since (as I see it) immediately deleting userboxes will cause significantly more long-term harm to Wikipedia than would keeping userboxes in the short term. '''Continuing to threaten the creations of those supporting userboxes---and thus the creators themselves---does not help resolve the problem in a way that I believe is very Wikipedian, but rather authoritarian.'''

*'''Comment''' - Deleting these Userboxes and moving them to User space ensures that they will NOT be nominated for deletion again, and in fact SAVES them for users to enjoy as code. If users all support "Keep" - based on the mistaken notion taht they are supporting "their" favorite boxes - they will be subject to more and more deletion attempts, some of which will be successful. By moving them NOW, they will be available for people to use, and those who oppose them as templates (because they are not tools used for editing the Ency.) will be satisfied. - [[User:Nhprman|Nhprman]] 17:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
**'''Re: Comment''': There are likely a certain amount of infrastructural details that need to be discussed before a transition into userspace can happen; however, if userboxes continue to be threatened with deletion in the short term, how can this happen properly?

::*This ''is'' the discussion. And actually, Subst'ing them onto User pages - which preserves them in the form they currenty exist - is instantaneous and requires no long discussions over technical issues. If they are Subst'd at the same time they are deleted from Template space, then your concerns are unwarranted, and the nominators have already said they will Subst them if the consensus is to delete them from Template space. The demand for userboxes is not the issue. They will be SAVED if they go into User space. They are subject to these subjective deletion attempts over and over again if they remain here.

:'''Comment''' - Welcome! There's a long history of abuse with these boxes, only because of where they reside on the server (a place called "Template space".) Suffice it to say that by deleting them from the Template space, and "Substituting" the text, they remain on your User page, they can no longer be challenged for deletion like this, and they will be available for others to use.

*'''Keep''' As Jmaynard said, there are much bigger problems on WP than this. Theres hundred of different categories with back logs, thousands of stubs that need both extending and categorising, and general vandalism that is always a problem. Maybe admins should put their effort into sorting out those problems? Also, most of these templates ''are not'' offensive, ''are not'' inflamatory and ''are not'' devisive. If you see a little rectangled box saying a quote from Men In Black or "this user is awesome" or "this user is a n00b" and are offended, you ''seriously'' need help. How can people be offended by this sort of thing? Many of these userboxes are ones that say "this user is..." and yet, somehow, people are offended even though the only criticism is towards the user displaying the userbox! This sort of thing really makes me wonder - if people are like this, does humanity really have a chance? I know people say "you can never rely on the public", but this takes it to a new level - [[User:The Giant Puffin|<font color="orange">'''• The Giant Puffin •'''</font>]] 19:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

*'''Random Comment''' (Not in response to anyone's posting) I don't think Userboxes "hurt" anyone. Most ''are'' harmless. That's not the point, though perhaps putting them up for deletion by the dozen skews that point, or at least obscures it. Fact is, if they remain in the Template space, some people are going to continue deleting them - fairly or unfairly - and some users will continue to stubbornly defend them from deletion - even the ones that ''should'' be deleted under current or future Template space deletion criteria (T1/T2, etc.) Wikipedia is supposed to be something MORE than this idiotic battling. The best solution is to find a home for the code in the User space (or some other non-template space, whatever) and have users cut/paste that code onto their pages, edit them as they wish, and enjoy them to their hearts' content - without fear of having them deleted. What's wrong with that? I think some users just like to argue about things and LOVE this "process" debate, while some others are willfully twisting the facts or ignoring the simple solution in front of us ([[WP:MACK]]) because they enjoy conflict. Whatever the case, it's VERY tiresome, and not worth our time here. - [[User:Nhprman|Nhprman]] 04:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

**'''Keep''' Oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue.  These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians.  That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture;  they are not used in article space.  The controversy needs to be put to bed once & for all, not endlessly played out here.--[[User:Ssbohio|Ssbohio]] 22:30, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Template for voting "keep"; see for instance its use at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Belgian "dry up" law]] (now removed). Not useful. [[User:CesarB|cesarb]] 00:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

*Was about to vote delete as nonsense.. then reverted the vandalism and am instead now voting '''delete'''. -- [[User:Getcrunk|<FONT COLOR="#C11B17" face="tahoma">getcrunk</FONT>]][[User_talk:Getcrunk|<span style="cursor: help"><FONT COLOR="#348017" face="tahoma">juice</FONT></span>]][[Special:Contributions/Getcrunk|<sup><font face="Tahoma" color="#000033"><span style="background-color: #FFE87C"><span style="cursor: ne-resize">contribs</span></span></font></sup>]] 01:01, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
:I don't think that was vandalism, so much as it was a test/misplaced comment from a new user. --[[User:W.marsh|W.marsh]] 01:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
*I created this version of it. From what I could see, there had been a different version out there earlier, with an icon, like this: [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|20px]] '''Keep'''.<br>A bunch of people used it in AfD discussions, and then it got removed, leaving a whole bunch of votes that now showed redlinked as [[link to nothing|Template:Skeep]]. I thought it would be useful to at least have something in that template, so I filled it with '''Keep'''. I figured it would be easier than going through a whole lot of AfDs and cleaning out the uses of it. I did the same thing for templates Scomment, Smerge and Sdelete, so if you want to remove this one, bundle in the rest. - [[User:Fan-1967|Fan1967]] 01:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
