Template:User no IRC[edit]

Template:User no IRC (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

This userbox was listed at TFD, which is the wrong venue. I have copied the discussion from the TFD page below. Primefac (talk) 02:51, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:User no IRC (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused userbox; users who want to be added to Category:Wikipedians who use IRC can use {{User IRC}} anyway. Enterprisey (talk!) _{(formerly APerson)} 04:42, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The point is I believe that these users do not use IRC and believe IRC is detrimental for Wikipedia.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:13, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and WP:TFD reason #1. Jujutsuan (Please notify with {{re}} | talk | contribs) 10:10, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep We traditionally give great leeway with templates meant for user self-identification. Debresser (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Just because I do (or do not) use IRC doesn't mean I necessarily think it is the "heartworm of Wikipedia," and the fact that absolutely no one is using it (which I checked) seems to bear that point out. TFD reason 3 clearly applies. Yes, we give leeway for user expression, but this is really close to a pointless polemic. MSJapan (talk) 04:46, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• keep, wrong venue. Userboxes are discussed at WP:MFD per the instructions here. Frietjes (talk) 13:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: TFD !votes above, MFD !votes below.

• Delete unused userbox, oddly specific feeling conveyed (the whole "heartworm") thing. I could see this title being repurposed for a more generic "This user does not use IRC" userbox. Out of curiosity, @Frietjes: now that we're at the right venue, has your !vote changed? --Nick⁠—⁠^Contact/_Contribs 03:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• delete, unused and not needed. Frietjes (talk) 13:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 14:47, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
