[edit] Template:User Unionist

Template:User_Unionist (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
POV userboxes on user pages will no doubt cause disruption on wikipedia if a page is altered by someone with this box or any other politically motivated user box it attracts the wrong people and possible revert wars. Alibabs 00:00, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - It has already been established that "controversial" is not a deletion criteria for userboxes as long as they are not deliberately confrontational. —Cuiviénen (Cuivië) 00:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Oi! I've already put in my Profile that I'm a Conservative. Therefore I am also a Unionist (ever heard of the "Conservative and Unionist Party"- our party's full title?) If you want to get rid of free speech on Wikipedia go ahead! But if you want more that one-party politics on Wikipedia reinstate this link! —AlbertW (AlbertW) 01:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • We don't want ANY politics on Wikipedia; we're not a democracy, or a micronation, or any of those things. We're an encyclopedia, and divisiveness has no purpose here. If you need to identify your political orientation, please do so on your userbox in your own words, as I doubt you agree 100% with every single thing the CaUP says and does. -- nae'blis _(talk) 17:51, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, obviously. Enough with the userbox deletionism already. -Xol 02:52, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Admonish nominator, for the same reasons stated in the deletion nomination of {{user Irish Republican}}, to wit, this is a notable point of view, the expression of which will help editors understand each others' biases, leading to a more neutral encyclopedia; moreover this is an example of a userbox so much more divisive to nominate for deletion than to place on a user page. Shame! --James S. 03:01, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Discourage POV boxes if you must but don't purge them. --Pastricide! ^{Non-absorbing} 22:41, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - Obviously - Bad faith nomination--God of War 20:47, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and Admonish nominator. There is no call for deletion of the box above the Irish Republican one (on the page Wikipedia:Userboxes/Regional Politics), which merely suggests Irish Nationalism, and is on a par with Irish Unionism. Had it been "User is a Loyalist" I might have had another opinion. Incidentally, there is no apparent template for the aforementioned box. --Mal 11:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:MLB HoF

Template:MLB HoF (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
Template was using a fair use image. I deleted the image and just turned it into a text line, but now that is creating a lot of awkwardness in the linked pages. But the template is unncessary because, from what I can tell, the linked articles already mention and/or categorize the players as Hall of Fame members. delete. --Fang Aili 23:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, and find a non-infringing image -- perhaps an image of the Museum or of one of the plaques. I think this template is an important one to keep, since it quickly and prominently identifies a member of the Hall of Fame. Jpers36 00:15, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I have sent an email to the Hall of Fame to see whether they will release the logo for Wikipedia's use in this manner. The text of my request is available on my userpage. Jpers36 19:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The image that was used was the Hall of Fame logo; I suspect the plaques are all copyrighted, so using an image from one of them would probably be less acceptable than the old logo. MisfitToys 00:35, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete; I don't see the point of this; all the hall of fame members are already categorized, and as their baseball career is almost always their only or at least their primary claim to fame, this template is unnecessary. --Spangineer (háblame) 05:23, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep; see Jpers36, above. Having a prominent identification of HoF players is preferable to simply linking the Baseball Hall of Fame article in a sentence. --Ebayjay 09:29, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. This template serves no purpose not already served by categories. Encyclopedias are not made up of little tags that say "This x is a y". --FOo 10:58, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Useful template to quickly identify HoF members. No Guru 06:48, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, for the reasons cited by Ebayjay, assuming a suitable image can be found. -Colin Kimbrell 16:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, for the reasons cited above. It is an easy way to identify Hall of Fame Members, as well as a solid launching pad for the HoF itself. Players elected to the Hall become part of something larger - this template helps identify that, in what I believe is the appropriate spirit. If permission is not granted to use the logo, surely another image cen be found, either a picture of the Hall, a new image of a baseball, or something else for which permissions may be obtained. --Chancemichaels 17:11, 21 February 2006 (UTC)Chancemichaels
• Keep, for most of the reasons cited. The HOF logo is not being used here commercially; the HOF wouldn't have a basis for objection if it objected. Besides, I've busted my hump on the Joe DiMaggio page. User:no ID, 21 February 2006
