- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result of the discussion was: no consensus. A well-participated discussion that tailed off two weeks ago. Strong arguments were well-made from both sides in almost equal measures. For the Deletes, the issues are WP:POLEMIC, WP:NOTSOCIALMEDIA, WP:UP#NOT and WP:NOTSOAPBOX, and that ultimately one or all of these three organisations are linked to/or are, terrorists. For the Keeps, the issues are around freedom of speech, not censored, and ultimately concerns around how these organisations have been labelled as terrorists (e.g. the example of the ANC). Very few Keeps argued outright that userboxes supporting widely accepted terrorist organisations should be allowed in Wikipedia (per the arguments of the Deletes). There were suggestions to amend the userboxes (particularly regarding the PKK), but there was no consensus on these amendments. There was no consensus to outright Delete or outright Keep these userboxes, and the debate around clarifying whether these are terrorist organisations also had no consensus. Therefore, closing as no consensus, without prejudice to this MfD being revisited, either at MfD or even in another forum (e.g. an RfC), given the strength of concern about the issues raised by these userboxes.
