More BFDI crap

Seeking guidance
There are a number of drafts with the same issue that I believe are subject to deletion outside the usual guidelines of draft deletion. In each instance it's a case of WP:PUFFERY, and there has been no attempt to make the articles even remotely acceptable. They all either rely on one source (the generally unreliable Cage Match) or have no sources at all. The drafts are Future Wrestling Australia, New Horizons Pro Wrestling, Newcastle Pro Wrestling, Southern Hemeisphere Wrestling Alliance, Southern Territory Wrestling and Wrestle Rampage. I believe they are being maintained to provide the users of a record of the title reigns and they have no intention of submitting the drafts for review. I think only one was actually submitted and it was declined. This should be done as a job lot but I don't know how to do that, and I don't have the time to nominate them one by one.

User:Bruno Rene Vargas/Cocaine Bear (film)
Live Misplaced Pages article about this film already exists: Cocaine Bear; there is no need to keep this user page around. 2607:FEA8:761F:4600:C8:679C:9AB8:ACDD (talk) 15:50, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
- This IP ha tagged two pages for MfD: User:Bruno Rene Vargas/Cocaine Bear (film) and Draft talk:Under the Boardwalk (2024 film) but did not create a nomination page for them. —CX Zoom 22:34, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Shall we make a list?
Given my strong feelings about recent infobox userbox deletion procedures I thought it valid to raise this question: A) Shouldn't we just make a list of unacceptable things a user might disclose about themselves? It's clear from recent procedures here there are concerns about the intent of various wikipedians who use infoboxes to describe themselves on their userpage. B) Would we intervene if the user merely wrote the same thing in plain text on their userpage? (ex. "I am a young adult") C) Why or why not?
- Nazis
- Neo-Confederates
- Homophobia
- Transphobia
- Anti-atheism
- Atheism
- I am a young adult
I'm sure there are many other potentially offensive things we might list so users recognize exactly where the boundaries exist on personal disclosure. BusterD (talk) 11:42, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
- Exactly.
- On the first four, free text on a userpage probably will tend more to a reasonable statement in the user’s academic interest in that topic, and less to a mob slogan like Userboxes often resemble.
- 5&6 is probably still too taboo for Misplaced Pages to make internal rules on.
- Number 7 is a newish new worry. A moral panic, just Think of the children and silence them, lock them away, Misplaced Pages must not be a welcoming place for children? We have a very sensible looking policy at Misplaced Pages:Child protection, and excellent advice at Misplaced Pages:Guidance for younger editors and Misplaced Pages:Advice for parents, I don’t know why a couple of oversighters are getting ahead of policy, and trying to push policy in practice with vague reference to their special experiences (False authority).

- Why is atheism controversial? —CX Zoom 06:14, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why (in US politics, it's reason for a form of acceptable discrimination, IMHO). I'm merely describing the MfD process I've recently seen. Last week a userbox was up for deletion which said "This user believes in the power of violence." The deletion rationale was the box could be construed as supporting violent action. There are some concepts which are clearly unacceptable for user pages as demonstrated by these nominations, and we're working our way through individual cases one by one.

- Also, I suspect you meant "userbox", not "infobox". —CX Zoom 06:15, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
- D'oh! BusterD (talk) 12:49, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
It appears that some users think people may be able to disclose their age via userbox. Win. BusterD (talk) 01:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
Request: Draft:Inanimate Insanity again
This is a request: Same reason as Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Battle for BFB (2nd nomination). The topic will never meet WP:GNG, the draft focuses on a BFDI spinoff and the mainspace (Inanimate Insanity) has also been salted. Pure fancruft. 118.149.86.40 (talk) 20:01, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
