[edit] User:The Gerg/Userboxes/User Republican

Wikipedia is not a place to promote partisan politics. Bubba ditto 00:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

• Also include User:The Gerg/Userboxes/User Pimp. —Doug Bell ^talk 12:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a userfied userbox, part of a whole spectrum that exist. It used to be at Template:User republican (or something very like it was) and was moved per the German Userbox Solution. -- nae'blis 03:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The German userbox solution is standard policy. Thanatosimii 03:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with the above positions, and although this user stated on Nov. 9th that they've left the project, I see no reason to start deleting their user subpages yet—people do change their mind. If it is deleted then the redirect to it at User:The Gerg/Userboxes/Republican should also be deleted. —Doug Bell ^talk 12:28, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep has been migrated and is a userbox. Cbrown1023 21:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per all above. — Seadog 21:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep You have to be kidding me, this is user page information to let other's know who they are dealing with. If we delete this then we have to get rid of a third of all userboxes... religious userboxes, feminist userboxes, environmental userboxes, etc. This is no way promotes "partisan politics." This is simply and identifier of which political party somebody belongs to.Balloonman 21:18, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Though politics always invites controversy, many userboxes currently in place do just as much to drive personal arguments. I see this as no different than a userbox that states a person's religion, national or ethnic identity, personal cause or other affiliation. -- Kesh 21:33, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. I much prefer people stating their affiliations over them editing with a POV without anyone knowing which POV they may hold. - Mgm|^(talk) 21:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep, per comments. --Sigma 7 22:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - WP:POINT nomination. 22:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - Useful identifier.Bakaman 00:53, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Userfied userbox, and per precedence. I don't really feel link ending up at DRV again. -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 05:14, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
