Wherever a user may live, this template clearly siginifies crime, in fact, it does seem logical to obide by international laws on wikipedia and not to create templates that signify crime, it's an angry face. Myrtone@Templates for deletion/Log/2006 June 4.com.au 02:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I have moved this back from MfD, it sounds like a TfD issue to me Computerjoe's talk 18:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

How can it be a TfD issue if it's not in template space? —Mira 23:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, quite a few people work by the "if it walks like a template, it's a template" policy, which has had pretty good acceptance for a while. With all the userboxes migrating to userspace, there's a lot of explaining that has to go on. Be prepared to repeat yourself a lot. -GTBacchus 23:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I moved it to MfD, per Mira's suggestion. --QuizQuick 23:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - This is precisely what Jimbo suggested doing with userboxes: getting them into user space. Nothing is out of order with this userfied userbox template. It has no encyclopedic value that I can see, but it's consistent with allowing "wide latitude" in user space. -GTBacchus 23:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • If we're going to do this here (I'm very confused now), then let me add this Keep in case it wasn't clear from the comments above. —Mira 23:52, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. It is in user space, which even Jimbo has said should be given more leeway. See Misplaced Pages:The German solution for reasoning. How many ?fD lists to I have to keep track of? --StuffOfInterest 00:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
    Probably two or three, until things settle down. Ripples take a minute to spread, and rebound, and eventually blend in as normal. I think it might make more sense to use MfD for userfied userboxes, seeing as we'll be applying userspace rules to them, and MfD is more accustomed to that. I imagine if someone disagrees, they'll say something... -GTBacchus 00:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per rfar/Tony Sidaway. Kotepho 02:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment Sorry, Kotepho, what do you mean by rfar/Tony Sidaway? Please note that this is located in userspace, so any NPOV, T1, etc. arguments do not apply. CharonX/talk 13:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • This is not a template. We have no power to delete it through this process.--M@rēino 13:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep 1) Located in userspace, not templatespace. Not a template. Wrong process. 2) Nomination says Serves no useful purpose and seems to be an ad for a specific person - not a good reason for deleting stuff from userspace, and can't really understand the "ad for a specific person" part. Please clarify. 3) POV and personal stuff is given leerway on userpages. 4) "Userboxes" in userspace might be the solution to the userbox issue, see Misplaced Pages:The German solution. CharonX/talk 13:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Relist on MfD. I have no opinion on the template one way or another but since it isn't a template, this is out of process. Powers 13:51, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • This doesn't belong here. as stated above by many. In any case it shouldn't be deleted by this process, so I suppose I need to make a point of saying keep. -MrFizyx 15:58, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
