The result of the discussion was: Delete. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 18:12, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
Bulk-creation of templates by a long-term disruptive user who's about to be formally topic-banned from creating pointless WP:space pages. This MFD also includes all the sub-templates listed on the page, none of which I can envisage any legitimate use for. ‑ Iridescent 20:23, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- Delete as user is banned and other use is limited. This should also include {{Guidance}} which is on that page, and {{I don't give a}} created by the same user. Subst the 4 sub-templates with transclusions before deletion, as not to break the user's comments in discussions. — Train2104 (t • c) 20:28, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- I haven't checked all of them, but the transclusions of {{But}} are false positives, caused by there being a template of that name on French Wikipedia and the template thus appearing in text that's been copy-pasted from fr-wiki without removing the templates. ‑ Iridescent 20:42, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
(adding) I've G3 deleted {{I don't give a}}, as there's genuinely no good-faith explanation I can possibly think of for creating it—anyone who attempted to use it would find themselves civility-blocked on the spot. ‑ Iridescent 20:45, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

- Userfy
Delete page in its current form- it's clearly not a Wikiproject. I have no particular issue with the page being a user subpage, and while I have no qualms with deleting the templates themselves I think usefication would also be acceptable.

- Delete more useless project-space garbage created by this user. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:27, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- Merge into Template:Done/See also. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 22:38, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
- Move to Wikipedia:Fun comment templates [or Userfy to User:Wiki-Pharaoh/Fun comment templates]. Let's not put the cart before the horse: if the templates listed on this page are deleted, then it no longer serves a purpose, and deletion is due. Until then, it serves as pseudo-documentation for the templates (which lack any themselves).— Godsy (TALKCONT) 13:00, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Godsy, would it not be better to userfy (i.e. move to User:Wiki-Pharaoh/Fun comment templates)? Given that all of their other WP-space pages have been userfied, I don't see why this one wouldn't be moved there as well. Primefac (talk) 13:07, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Primefac: That would be fine with me. I was originally going to suggest that, but Wiki-Pharaoh has been banned; anecdotally I've generally seen a refrain from userfying things to the userspace of banned users, however, the AN/I thread closure did recommended it. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 21:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete it all per Blocked indefinitely. Additionally, all project space pages and shortcuts are to be userfied or deleted (at administrator's discretion).[1] That should clearly include silly-templates. Alsee (talk) 20:21, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
- Comment: I started a deletion discussion for the templates on this page which is at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2017 March 21#Templates on Wikipedia:Wikiproject Fun comment templates -KAP03(Talk • Contributions • Email) 01:48, 22 March 2017 (UTC)
- Userfy or Merge project?
I would love to, but:lolThis needs to go to User page, or Wikipedia:Department of Fun. ProDuct0339sayworkproj 08:55, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
