This is not an encyclopedic topic but some random code. For some unfathomable reason an admin has decided to protect it rather than speedy delete which is only viable alternative. Barney the barney barney (talk) 20:44, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and move to templatespace per what I said at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of public art in Israel/row: "This is a very new pile of code that looks like a template; the creator is having code problems with this page and List of public art in Israel, so let's leave it alone until its purposes are clearer and we can move it to the right place." Barney has been inappropriately tagging this page and the "row" page for speedy deletion under numerous criteria that aren't relevant to template-style code, and he clearly hasn't observed that this page (unlike "row") is not protected.

Keep and move this seems to be either a temporary placeholder for some code or a malformed attempt to create a template. The solution is to move it, to userspace in the former case or to template space in the latter. Deleting it would accomplish nothing and would only make it harder for someone to contribute. This page absolutely does not qualify for any of the speedy deletion criteria it was tagged for, and edit warring to restore the tags was very disruptive. Hut 8.5 21:27, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete CSD G2 or G6. Misplaced duplicate of User:Drkup(IMJ)/header and Template:Israeli public art/header. Funny ^Pika! 23:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So...your solution is to copy/paste move it somewhere else, and commit copyright infringement by not attributing the creator? A proper move is seemingly the best place to go, but a copy/paste move is nowhere near appropriate. Nyttend (talk) 03:48, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Funny how one person can be given the benefit of the doubt but another not. As I had written here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of public art in Israel/row, I was merely trying to help out the template table coding and cited that the code was already in the userspace. My only mistake was forgetting to explictly leave the link in the edit summary, as per WP:COPYWITHIN. Now I'm wondering if you're going to delete the current version: Template:Public art in Israel - header which is also the exact same unattributed copypaste.

~~Keep and move~~. If I had a work-in-progress template, and someone kept coming 'round and speedy-tagging it, I'd be sour too. Userfying this seems to be the best option, at least until the code can be sorted. I think tagging this for deletion was both premature and unnecessary - especially since absolutely no attempt was made to actually talk to the editor in question and ask them what exactly they were attempting.

BGWhite seems to have sorted this all out - he sandboxed the code and fixed it up, then put it in the template space and applied it to the article. I think we can close this out as moot, Deleteing this version in favor of the new one at Template:Public art in Israel - header. Accordingly, I've struck my Keep and recommend deletion.
