Template:User interested in Nazi Germany (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Hardly used but extremely controversial template. The Banner _talk 22:09, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hi! I don't see any problem with this. it shows the interest to Nazi Germany article. I just finished discussion about it at admin noticeboard. you put template for deletion with your own views not by the policy.--Neogeolegend (talk) 22:22, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So I say oppose because this discussion made on a type of point of view of a user.--Neogeolegend (talk) 23:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unused or highly controversial templates are regularly removed. The Banner _talk 22:36, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for its drama potential alone. Haven't we learned anything from the great userbox wheelwars back then? --Conti|✉ 22:32, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete deliberately ambiguous template showing the nazi flag as an end in itself, this should not be tolerated per WP:CIVIL --rtc (talk) 22:38, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Conti — Ched : ? 22:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If it was modified to: "User interested in the historical period of Nazi Germany" and the German Eagle was used instead of the flag; then it should pass. The Nazi Germany period of history is a subject which is studied by many and thousands of books have been written on the subject (not to mention, many articles herein). Kierzek (talk) 23:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is the whole point of the user, as I understand it, that he specifically wants the nazi flag. That's the way I understand his user page, especially the exploding swastika comment. Someone already tried to change the icon of this template into a less offensive one (which BTW was not entirely unproblematic either, IMO, but at least an attempt into the right direction), which he instantly reverted.[1] --rtc (talk) 23:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There's no inherent right to edit Wikipedia, and, if you do edit Wikipedia, there's no inherent right to have a specific userbox on your user page. If the community objects to the box you want to display, then you're out of luck. Display of the Nazi flag is pertinent on articles about the subject (although I personally would prefer that it be removed from the navboxes on the subject), but its use elsewhere is inflammatory. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:33, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the user is trying to be intentionally inflammatory. Viriditas (talk) 00:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No need for a category that identifies users as such - there's barely a valid reason for any userbox, let alone a possibly controversial cat. dangerous panda 23:45, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The flag would not harm anyone. This is a history finished 60 years ago and shows the interest for reading. If this flag is found anywhere in Wikipedia's article, there is no problem to be found at user page.--Neogeolegend (talk) 23:47, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - May wish to consider some of this user's other questionable creations such as Template:User admirs Nazi uniforms and Template:User respects Erwin Rommel. Tarc (talk) 23:49, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The user is being intentionally disruptive. This is far more than an "interest" or an "admiration"—the user is actively promoting the Nazi "lifestyle" which is incompatible with editing Wikipedia. Suggest deletion and indef. block. Viriditas (talk) 00:30, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; with extreme prejudice. There's a very good reason that Very divisive or offensive material not related to encyclopedia editing is not allowed, and this is a textbook example. This can't possibly serve any useful function writing an encyclopedia, but it sure has hell can cause a great deal of drama! — Coren ^(talk) 00:52, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
~~Coren, why don't you speedily delete it? If you want to save drama, that's the way to do~~ For the first time in my admin career (I think) I am going to invoke IAR and remove this, as purely disruptive. Drmies (talk) 00:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I had not seen the "this user likes Rommel and Nazi uniforms" boxes: they are now gone as well. I will leave it to someone else to decide if this user should be blocked or not. I've done enough damage for one evening. Drmies (talk) 01:02, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
comment. I can't find anything in the policy for having a user opening a deletion request for a normal user box.--Neogeolegend (talk) 01:00, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't no the reason, but why you were so fast with closing the discussion. even you deleted the templates Template:User respects Erwin Rommel and Template:User admirs Nazi uniforms, they were not the main part of the deletion talks.--Neogeolegend (talk) 01:40, 8 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Royal Netherlands Navy cruisers (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. The individual ships listed in the template transclude more focussed templates, e.g. HNLMS De Zeven Provinciën (C802) trancludes {{De Zeven Provinciën class cruisers}}. List of cruisers of the Netherlands already contains the information in list format. DH85868993 (talk) 12:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Convert to a cruiser classes template, which also includes unique ships; ships with classes would then be removed. Note not all the ships in the template have other templates. -- 70.50.151.36 (talk) 12:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Rosewood railway line, Queensland (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Superseded by {{Ipswich railway line}} which also includes the Rosewood line. DH85868993 (talk) 11:56, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

comment although the attribution is not clear it would appear that this template was merged with {{Ipswich railway line}} with this edit. Therefore this template's edit history is needed for attribution under the Creative Commons license. Edgepedia (talk) 12:15, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support - It seems like some of the elements from this template could be added to {{Ipswich railway line}}, like the "showing distance from Central, ticket zone, and connecting or nearby bus services" line, or some of the existing notes. ---DanTD (talk) 14:02, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
