Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:B3430715/Userboxes/privacy

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: delete. After fully reviewing this discussion, I find consensus to delete this userbox. Editors advocating to keep the userbox brought forth several arguments (anti-political correctness, no active harm, etc). Editors advocating deletion refuted some of these arguments by claiming that the userbox violates WP:POLEMIC and WP:CIVIL. Defining which userboxes are polemic is largely left up to the community, and several more editors argued this was polemic than argued it was not. Both sides were reasonable from a policy perspective on that point, and for something this subjective, I must turn mostly to the numbers. The debate over guidance at WP:UBX/POLITICS favored deletion, as the claim that the guidance supported political userboxes was clearly refuted. That was not a major factor in my view of consensus, though, as UBX/POLITICS is not a policy or guideline. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 01:20, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
