Template:User no IRC


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) 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)
 * User no IRC
 * 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)

Note: TFD !votes above, MFD !votes below.
 * Delete per nom and WP:TFD reason #1.  Jujutsuan  ( Please notify with &#123;&#123;re&#125;&#125; &#124; talk &#x7C; contribs) 10:10, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep We traditionally give great leeway with templates meant for user self-identification. Debresser (talk) 19:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * keep, wrong venue. Userboxes are discussed at WP:MFD per the instructions here. Frietjes (talk) 13:45, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
 * 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,  now that we're at the right venue, has your !vote changed? --Nick&#8288;—&#8288;Contact/Contribs 03:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * delete, unused and not needed. Frietjes (talk) 13:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:47, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
