[edit] ░

This article's name makes me uncomfortable. It just... I'm not sure I can verbalize it properly, but it feels like an abuse of the namespace. You know? DS 01:27, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The article is about a character, thus the character is the article's title. To make it easier for people, I created Light shade and redirected it to ░. — ░ 01:34, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

--Sorry, you're right. I was a bit confused when I first saw this. Citizen Premier 01:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• weak delete There are way too many Unicode characters to have an article about each one. What else can you possibly say about it? This should be in something like List of Unicode drawing characters or something like that. — brighterorange (talk) 02:33, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If this needs to be covered by an encyclopedia at all, it certainly shouldn't have its own article. Maybe it should be part of a list per brighterorange. —Cleared as filed. 02:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. There's nothing more to be said about the character than what is listed, and that's pretty short even for a stub. I agree that if this is even going to be tossed about that there should be a single article with the drawing characters. Just holdovers from ANSI for compatibility's sake, correct?  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 03:53, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• ░M░e░r░g░e░ with... um... somthing. -- BD2412 ^talk 04:17, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• How about redirect to Western Latin character sets (computing)? — ⅝ 04:21, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Belongs in a list. Sortan 04:47, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Receintly we have had articles with symbols in their namespace created by users of the same name (such as this one). For more, see ⅝ by user:⅝ and ۞ by user:۞. — Kjammer ⌂ 05:18, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, or redirect if someone really wants to. Tuf-Kat 06:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, per — ░. Ëvilphoenix ^Burn! 06:48, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete WP:ISNOT a list of Unicode character codes. Is the moon full or something? Between this and Ria Fulton... -- MCB 07:31, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to list of unicode characters. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:14, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Would be useless as a redirect: who would search for it? Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 11:22, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per RasputinAXP, and agree with AndrewLenahan. Nandesuka 11:36, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete (or let fade away) --bodnotbod 12:07, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• delete/mergeto a list. Characters only need an article if there is something to go in the article. JPD 12:41, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I'm pretty sure Wikisource has a list of these, but its search function is down at the moment so I can't check. android79 14:40, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Perhaps we need articles about each character set, and matching articles listing the characters in those sets. Or something like that... Mindmatrix 15:06, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - there's nothing notable about it, and as far as I can tell, the only reason it's in Unicode is for compatibility with older character sets. sjorford #£@%&$?! 15:44, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - I can't see how this can be expanded further than a sub-stub, and it's useless for anyone using Wikipedia's search engine. 23skidoo 15:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, useless. Gazpacho 17:54, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Ouch. Are we going to have separate entries for every single box drawing character next? Delete, no one will search for this!
• Delete. I am deeply in love with Unicode but this abuses the privilege. — Phil Welch 21:08, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to some list of unicode charaters. Oleg Alexandrov 21:50, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect per Oleg Alexandrov. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:39, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - This really does not deserve an article. - Hahnchen 00:21, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Boy is that embarrassing. Thanks, Peter. Chick Bowen 04:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete along with its redirect, Light shade. This article was created by a sock puppet of banned vandal User:JarlaxleArtemis for the purpose of disrupting Wikipedia. —Psychonaut 16:34, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete because there is no such symbol on my keyboard.  Grue  18:02, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
