User:UBX/redheads
This and the following were deleted by User:Krimpet on August 4, and restored after a lengthy deletion review. They should have a proper debate, but they are indeed inappropriate and unhelpful to building the encyclopedia, and as the admin who restored them it is my sincere hope that they will not be around for long. The full list:

- Strong Keep for the hair colors, and weak keep for the BBW. These are no more encyclopedic than many other userboxes. If we delete these, then we might as well start deleting userboxes stating where people eat or what they drink. BBW has a possibly improper image, and the use of "sexy" on the bottom three are possibly problematic, but the hair colors are innocent.--King Bedford I 16:31, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep all, though I don't think it's necessarily helpful to bundle them all together in a single MfD. I honestly don't see what all the fuss is about. That said, I have no desire to keep the one I created myself, and have tagged it for CSD G7 accordingly. PC78 (talk) 16:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Speedy keep the hair colour ones - they're not divisive or inflammatory, and they're all residing in the appropriate place - userspace. The arguments to endorse at DRV smack of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Keep per the rationale in these prior MFDs: userfied userboxes are given a wide degree of freedom. Opening this can of worms could lead to most of userspace being deleted. We're here to build an encyclopedia, but having a little fun once in a while won't kill us. –xeno (talk) 17:11, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Amended slightly to cover the hair colours - I don't see how saying that one likes a particular hair colour is sexist. Neutral on the other ones. –xeno (talk) 22:19, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete - unhelpful to helping the project. Food and drink userboxes, I agree may be useless too, but there's a higher probability of pizza-lovers writing about pizzas than redhead-lovers eating redheads. Sceptre 17:39, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Not going to touch that line.--King Bedford I 20:49, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep all per User talk:Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles#Brunettes userbox. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 18:26, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Keep the userboxes based on hair color...neutral on the others. I think that userboxes in userspace should be held to the same standards as userpages...and saying "I like blondes" is completely fine to put on a userpage. The others...well, something about them rubs me the wrong way, but not enough to say delete. --UsaSatsui (talk) 20:27, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Speedy Keep for the hair color userboxes per Bedford, Xenocidic, and UsaSatsui. Neutral on the others. -MBK004 20:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Delete sure a lot of userboxes are not encyclopedic. But let's try to keep sexist connotations out of the userspace. These do not build a community, and alienate our female editors. ~Eliz81 20:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Some who used them were females.--King Bedford I 21:15, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

- Because Lord forbid men admit they're attracted to women. Honestly, what is wrong with us? And for the record, males also have different colored hair and females do tend to prefer them too. --UsaSatsui (talk) 22:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- Because men can admit that they're heterosexual, but that doesn't give them the right to view women as objects. Naked pictures? "Sexy chicks"? I'm sure that relates to women as equals. If the preferences didn't include the pictures, I think you'd find fewer objections.--Thalia42 (talk) 22:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
- You have a point on those particular userboxes, (and note I don't support keeping them), but specifying hair color preference? I don't believe so. --UsaSatsui (talk) 22:20, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

- Comment I'm wondering if these are considered any worse than any of the other stuff at
User:ISD/Userboxes/Sexuality. A reasonable number of these are similar, I think. Things like "This user is a slut" and the 'Bear' series. Maybe not, I dunno. Tombomp (talk/contribs) 22:14, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
