Template:User css-N[edit]

Transferring nomination incorrectly placed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 January 24#Template:User css-N. Userboxes are supposed to be discussed at MFD. Comments already made in the TFD discussion, including the original nomination statement by Koavf (talk · contribs), are reproduced below. RL0919 (talk) 00:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:User css-N (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Meaningless and unnecessary —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 02:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The meaning is quite clear, the user has a great understanding of Cascading Style Sheets. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 16:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment No one is a native speaker of a programming language. This can be collapsed to css-4 or css-5 —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 02:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Addendum In fact, the user category for this template is the css-4 user category. This is entirely redundant. —Justin (koavf)TCM☯ 02:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Again -- "meaningless and unnecessary" applies to a great many userboxes, and is not generally claimed as a reason for deletion. Smile. Collect (talk) 13:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Per Editors matter. "While "it's harmless" is certainly not a valid reason for keeping encyclopedic content (such as articles, templates and images) which does not meet Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, it is a perfectly valid argument when applied to the Wikipedia namespace and to userspace." --ThejadefalconSing your songThe bird's seeds 13:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Template:User css-4 or Template:User css-5. As the nom notes, "no one is a native speaker of a programming language". I don't see how the essay Wikipedia:Editors matter applies in this case... will anyone who uses this template be made unhappy (or even notice) if it is replaced by the level-4 or level-5 template, especially if their userpages are not edited (i.e., if the template is redirected). –Black Falcon (talk) 18:47, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
