User:Pickbothmanlol/VfD[edit]

This was created by Pickbothmanlol, who has been indefinitely blocked. He described it as "my own personal AfD template," which is of course not appropriate. Whether he meant this satirically, I'm not sure, but he did add it to at least one article. This template is both disruptive (VfD has long since been replaced by AfD etc.) and bizarre (part of a pattern of incompetent behavior by this user; see this ANI discussion for a full account). It also cannot be a good idea to have this template floating around on Wikipedia. I therefore seek its deletion. --A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 21:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as nominated. Willoughby has articulated the case well. Crafty (talk) 21:32, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mark as Historical Which should tell folks not to use it (the redlinks may also be a clue) - but since it is referred to in several places, including usage in an article, and does no particular harm otherwise, there is not a lot of reason to delete. It appears to violate no WP rules as far as I can tell. No big deal in any event. Collect (talk) 21:44, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • The article was one that had been partially "nominated" for VfD - I've removed the transclusion, as the nomination was never completed and probably won't be. There's no history to this template (it's only a few days old), so tagging as historical is inappropriate. Zetawoof(ζ) 06:55, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nominator. //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 22:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete It is very unhelpful to give other editors the idea that it is ok to create subpages with their own versions of templates. This is not a social networking club. Johnuniq (talk) 01:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete even if it's no big deal, I can't see any good coming from its continued existence - it will only be used for evil. Josh Parris 04:55, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
