If even a single user was using the userboxes I have nominated, I wouldn't even be here, but no-one is - not even the creators. Not only had the relevant (empty) categories not been created properly, all the nominated userboxes have had fair-use images removed which no-one has ever shown enough interest in to replace even with text. Had you even heard of "Kiwanis International" before coming here (I certaintly haven't), or are you simply against deleting worthless things on some sort of misguided principle? Shiroi Hane 20:03, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-used and hence unmissed. If someone wishes to add a userbox category for charities, they can simply recreate it then. --tjstrf 18:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Physics Series

Note to proponents of this template: Check out the physics portal before you assert that this type of navigation tool is necessary or useful. Portals are a much better way to allow exploration of an entire field.--Srleffler 17:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree with Srleffler. Template:Physics subjects (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) is not in fact being used and has lots of redlinks. I did work on Template:Physics Series (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) to correct redlinks even when an anon changed "education" to "Education" and broke the link I had created. Nevertheless they are not really needed and the the physics portal tag should be added to all physics pages. --Bduke 22:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per nom. I admit its quite pretty, and I applaud the idea of a series. If perchance it cannot be merged into the physics portal in any reasonable way, then perhaps it can be converted into a secondary physics portal, e.g. Portal:Physics series ? To be clear, what I'm voting on is a big NO to having big-honking nav boxes chewing up valuable real-estate and reader attention. linas 03:36, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I created {{Physics subjects}} in order to get a user to stop creating/adding this content to the Physics WikiProject template at {{physics}}. (Informing that user of this TfD may be complicated by his/her apparent tendency to use several different IP addresses and usernames for the same edits.) Anyway, I'm not fond of this template as used, but I'm in favor of the content being maintained for possible use in the physics portal; it's also been suggested that it might be valuable as a horizontal template at the bottom of articles. -- SCZenz 06:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. At least in thermodynamics and quantum thermodynamics this template is completely un-necessary both in terms of content and the space it takes up. It might be good somewhere else but I don't know where?--Sadi Carnot 19:44, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is a rather awkward listing anyway. I encourage SCZenz to pursue the physics-footer idea mentioned in his comment, but this thing has no business taking over the top-right corner of these pages. -MrFizyx 21:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Google services

Template:Google services (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
Template is not used and obsolete by {{Google Inc.}} that is now more generic. - David Björklund (talk) 15:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Make sure all of the things on here are on the new template and delete. --michael180 16:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, redundant template. --Ter e nc e Ong 03:50, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Differentiate the two - there have been edit wars previous to this! In fact, the template Google Inc. (which has been proposed as the replacement) has also been supported for deletion also - see Talk:Google#The_Google_Template_Box and Talk:Google#Delete Template:Google Inc. A great complaint with the Google Inc. template was that it was very messy and included many non-Google items (such as the book Google Hacks, which is still in the template for some reason).

I have further checked the history of the templates - Kesla has thankfully merged the upper portion of Google services into Google Inc. However, I still support the creation of two seperate templates - each one extremely different from each other.

The first would be Google Inc., which would then be focued on the financial and popular aspects of the company - similiar to Template:Apple_Articles. It would include the sections of History, Acquisitions, Google Logo, and so on.
Google Services, then would be more along the lines of Template:Apple hardware since 1998, which provides an easy to use navbox for quick navigating between pages. –- kungming·2 | ^(Talk·^Contact) 06:01, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User human form

Template:User human form (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
T1. This template is clearly divisive. It expresses an opinion which not everybody holds and which is offensive to many. The mere act of stating that a person has a belief is clearly divisive. We should remove all such statements from templates, articles, and user space. Jdavidb (talk • contribs) 04:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is more of an appreciation, much like all of the TV series userboxes. Should we delete all of the Law and Order ones just because some people prefer one of them over the others? --Chris Griswold 05:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Good luck deleting every userbox that has an opinion. I don't see why this would be offensive... It's not attacking anyone and, as ChrisGriswold said, merely expresses an appreciation. Grand master ka 06:14, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per ChrisGriswold. It's a userbox, for crying out loud. --Coredesat 06:19, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep for WP:POINT attempt. --tjstrf 06:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
WTF? Speedy keep as above. Sweetie Petie 09:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Template looks to me like a thinly veiled support for nudism, though I agree that this is not a T1 candidate. Sjakkalle (Check!) 10:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but encourage someone to adopt it into user space in line with the German solution. --StuffOfInterest 13:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Sigh. Again with the userboxes? Keep or German solutionit, whatever, just leave the damn things alone. They haven't kill anybody. Yet. --many Revolutions 17:29, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Userboxes are non-lethal. --Disavian 18:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy Keep as not T1, or Redirect and German Solution at User:Disavian/Userboxes/Human Form.
Speedy keep. Agree with previous. Enoguh with the userbox freaking-out. K-UNIT 18:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep per Disavian. The German solution is also fine, however. jgp 01:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete - textbook T1. It isn't what you say, it's how you say it. The obvious, inherent, and intentional implication of this userbox is that anyone who opposes gratuitous nudity sees a problem with the human form (whatever that means) and that there is something wrong with the opposing view. That's divisive and inflammatory. Expressing your personal opinion in a non-confrontational way is one thing. Expressing it in a SARCASTIC way or in one that BELITTLES the other side is T1. This userbox obviously was intentionally designed to belittle or satarize the arguments against pornography. As I've said eleventy billion times, I'm in favor of userboxes in general, but this one is an obvious T1 and ought to be speedied if there is going to be anything close to consistency. BigDT 01:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I wrote this before I read the nominator's comments. Obviously, with WP:POINT comments like that in the nomination, it's never going to get a reasonable hearing as the nominator made it a referendum on userboxes. My argument stands, though - this TFD ought to be closed as a bad faith nomination and irrespective of that, the template ought to be speedy deleted T1 BigDT 01:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Question What is T1? Sweetie Petie 08:19, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply T1 is template speedy deletion criteria one, which essentially states that any template which is "divisive and inflammatory" in nature can be deleted. Depending on how widely or narrowly you interpet this statement, this could apply to everything from blatently insulting or hatespeech (narrow) to any template which expresses a POV. See WP:T1D for additional info on the arguments surrounding it. --tjstrf 08:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks I don't see how this is divisive or inflammatory at all. Sweetie Petie 08:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep--Mexicansky 23:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Just because you don't agree with it doesn't mean it's "divisive." I don't want to burn people who use it alive--or even be inclined to assume bad faith--even though I do disagree with its meaning. Sophy's Duckling
