The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was Delete - ugh, I've agonised over this for a while (and apparently no one else is closing MfDs?), but ultimately, the image still strongly implies that the user is a preteen, and the reasons against advertising that are compelling. A recreated userbox that made it clear the user was somewhere between 20 and 13.7 ± 0.12 × 109 years old would still be permissable, if anyone wants to bother.

This is not the sort of userbox that we want to encourage children younger than 13 to post on their userpages. Rschen7754 09:05, 20 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Image still concerns (as brought up below). --Nouniquenames 04:22, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There's nothing wrong with editors being under 13, but this userbox causes far more potential problems than any possible benefit it might have. If its intention is as suggested by Mediran, then the best solution would be to create a userbox saying "This user is no longer a teenager" or somesuch unequivocal wording. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 18:21, 20 January 2013 (UTC) Keep now that userbox has been corrected to avoid potentially dangerous ambiguity. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 16:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was really implying that. I guess that "This user is no longer a teenager" or so whatever would be better than an implication that their are under 13 years. Changing to delete. Mediran (tc) 08:51, 21 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
