I noticed this page in my contributions from four years ago. It probably breaks some rule against bad redirects and for that I apologize. But it was four years ago when I was immature, so please don't block me. Smartyllama (talk) 22:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC) Smartyllama (talk) 22:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Don't be a dick

This page most likely going to be used for personal attacks. Also "Dick" itself is an insult and should not be used to describe wikipedians. Jamcad01 (talk) 06:37, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyway I can get it off of meta? --Jamcad01 (talk) 07:46, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do you mean deletion, or copy/transwiki back to Wikipedia? 76.65.128.132 (talk) 10:24, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - This discussion has been had many times, here and on meta; it isn't going anywhere. As the page says, "don't be a dick" is a fundamental rule of all social space, if more people followed that then there wouldn't be a need to point out their occasional dickishness. We also don't get rid of things just because they contain naughty words. This principle was upheld in 2006, and note the discussion for Wikipedia:GIANTDICK in 2010.

  • Comment As a Brit, I can't understand why DICK is going to result in overwhelming consensus to keep, while CUNT was deleted. I'm personally in favour of both being kept, but surely there should be consistency here? —WFC— 15:07, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That's a seperate discussion. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
oh noes, it's a naughty word! Everybody run!
  • keep I'm growing rather tired of the civility police stopping by this redirect every few months to try and have it removed or watered down. This isn't a kindergarten. If someone is being a dick, they need to be told they are being a dick. If the mere presence of the word "dick" is too much for you to bear then don't look at the page this redirects to.

The other flaw in the nomination is the assertion that it "should not be used to describe wikipedians." I fully supprt the idea that it should be used very, very rarely and not thrown about willy-nilly, but WP:SPADE applies. This is all explained rather clearly at the actual page.
