	* '''Keep''': This is meant to be a humourous template, but with a serious overtone also (e.g., that userboxes can't define a user in whole). It should be put in the humourous templates section of the templates listings if not already.

Yet more userboxes

Cyde has dropped another batch of boxes below. So here goes another batch voting. This section applies to all userboxes below, so move your votes upwards (from under #All userboxes below) to upgrade them to a wider range of templates and let's hope it's all for today. Misza 13 22:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Userfy/subst: and delete per WP:ENC. Misza 13 22:33, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User sumofpi

Unencyclopedic template, does not belong in template space. Opinions like "Oh but it's funny" are irrelevant, as humor is relative, but our encyclopedic goals are not. --Cyde Weys 20:21, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep. TfD isn't the place to make a WP:POINT about how much you don't like userboxes. By your comment, you seem to be saying a priori that you will ignore any consensus that is opposed to your desire to eliminate all userboxes. That is a dangerous attitude for someone entrusted with administrative rights to take, IMO. BigDT 20:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

You misunderstand what WP:POINT means - Cyde genuinely wants these gone, so it isn't a WP:POINT. Also, supporters of userboxes have been moaning at admins to use TfD and not speedies - now one does, you call it invalid. He isn't using admin rights to do this, so that's irrelevant. --Doc 20:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh please, an administrator saying "Opinions like 'Oh but it's funny' are irrelevant" at the top of the discussion is using the position of administrator to enforce a particular POV, even if he does not actually use any special administrative rights to do it. BigDT 20:42, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Not WP'Point. Not an abuse unless he deletes it against consensus. Septentrionalis 22:40, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Subst and delete - fine in userspace, not in template space. --Doc 20:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep I can see uses for this, I mean, the value of PI is certainly nice information. Homestarmy 21:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Userpages are one place to keep possibly useful peices of information. Septentrionalis 22:38, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Subst and delete - fine in userspace, not in template space. --Doc 20:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep actual fact that's useful in real-life. --mboverload 20:53, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Subst and Delete The shorter one is nice. This one seems a tad....overboard. In typical usage, I can't see Pi back this far as useful information, and going so far into signifigant figures you'll probably want to verify the number with something else besides a rather large userbox. Homestarmy 21:11, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep - useful --GeorgeMoney 21:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Keep I see no point to deleting this. Septentrionalis 22:41, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User paranoia2

Keep. TfD isn't the place to make a WP:POINT about how much you don't like userboxes. By your comment, you seem to be saying a priori that you will ignore any consensus that is opposed to your desire to eliminate all userboxes. That is a dangerous attitude for someone entrusted with administrative rights to take, IMO. BigDT 20:29, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User firearm

Keep. Umm, unless I'm missing something, this userbox is actually about articles that the contributor writes or hopes to write. I would think that this one would be rather worthy to be kept. BigDT 20:32, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

This userbox is almost exactly akin to all the language boxes which tell the world "Hey, I know stuff about this for Misplaced Pages", are all the language boxes social networking too? Have I been participating in Myspace Junior by using the basic spanish comphrehension template? And now that I think about it, how many times has any userbox been caught in the act as being a social network creator? Homestarmy 21:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Gee Bee Series

keep there are templates with less links, sometimes red. Perfectly valid footer. Circeus 19:51, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:North Auckland Line

Enooormous template that completely dominates several of the articles that it is on and deals with what is a fairly minor feature of them. Have a look at Maungaturoto for instance. Having a railway halt there is a minor feature of the township, and certainly doesn't require the stub to be blighted with this monstrosity. At the very least it needs a serious re-working, but I'd seriously question the need for it at all. Grutness...wha? 07:08, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Subst and delete all of them. Unencyclopedic userboxes don't belong in the template namespace. These don't even make a pretence at being encyclopedia-related. Encyclopedia-related humor: no worries. Non-encyclopedia related humor wasting hundreds of pages: delete and take it to MySpace. We wouldn't have a Misplaced Pages page called Misplaced Pages:Keep 'em coming, Cyde.

Keep. TfD isn't the place to make a WP:POINT about how much you don't like userboxes. BigDT 20:34, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
WP:POINT --mboverload 20:56, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The nominators are in no way trying to make a WP:POINT. If they were, they would delete ALL userboxes without discussion, or perhaps create anti-Userbox Userboxes or some other rash, silly act that policy was meant to discourage. The intention here seems pretty straightforward - to take these boxes OUT of template space, as per T1, and as per common sense. We aren't here to form social networks and make jokes, but if people choose to do that, they can put the code on their User pages without cluttering up the template space. Nhprman 21:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

The above two votes/comments should probably be discounted. They give no valid reason for keeping. Since the nominators genuinely wish these things deleted, this is simply not a WP:POINT. Indeed it is ironic that when folk are always screaming at admins to use TfD rather than speedy boxes, now they do they are told 'this is not the place for it'. --Doc 21:46, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
