User:Dimension10/Permanently protected or else


This recently survived a TFD by virtue of having been moved to userspace. However, it is still formatted like a template yet grossly misrepresents policy and, as if that weren't enough, contains a death threat. It may have been intended as a joke, but it it's not funny, and is never going to be ok regardless of what namespace it is in. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:41, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, leaning slightly Meh I don't care much one way or the other, but I do want to note that calling this a "death threat" is hyperbole. (Admittedly, calling it a "joke" is hyperbole too...) . There will be essentially zero harm to the encyclopedia if it is left alone. --Floquenbeam (talk) 21:43, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Quite harmless. Unless transcluded on a page, I can't see a policy problem! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:07, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. It is actually used on his "retired" user page now . (I wonder how Dimension10 obtained the deleted content from ScienceApologist's former user page.) Anyway, on the first iteration of his user page, Dimension10 took responsibility for the edits of the indefinitely blocked user PsiEpsilon CSD#G5 applies. The SPI has some additional examples of trolling from his old account . Someone not using his real name (talk) 01:36, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep.     It's a physics joke about being plagued by pauli - villar ghost states in dimensions other than 10   .  If vulgar templates are ok, what's wrong with a physics joke,  this . ? .             Dimension10 (talk) 12:11, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * The original threat you put in the template was: If you edit it, the user will immediately die, and their ghost will appear in your house and kill you. This is not a some type of physics joke (and your attempt to connect it somehow to Pauli–Villars regularization is laughable). Singularity42 (talk) 14:03, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Singularity42      Um, I know I often  use the word pauli-villar wrongly, but I meant the negative norm-squared states, certainly not the regularisation technique   . Dimension10 (talk) 19:33, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Aah, so in norm-squared states, ghosts appear in a person's house and kill them? Give me a break, and knock off this ridiculousness. Singularity42 (talk) 23:16, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Singularity42 Is the joke so hard to understand? Negative norm-squared states are called GHOST STATES . Dimension10 (talk) 11:31, 12 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Given the self admitted block evasion right here in this MFD as well as on their user page, I have indef blocked Dimension 10. At this point that makes this template qualified for speedy deletion as a page created in defiance of a block. However, in the interest of not appearing overly WP:INVOLVED I will nominate it and let another admin decide. Beeblebrox (talk) 15:41, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: User unblocked, and speedy tag removed. MFD can proceed as usual, as I mention above I don't have a strong opinion about it. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:48, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. "Or else" is never appropriate language in this context. Beyond My Ken (talk) 17:32, 12 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not a strong delete, as the editor is retiring and the page would likely sit in quiet obscurity never to noticed again, but I think we are better off without it. (Note to anyone coming across this MfD and checking the page: the objected-to language has been edited out of the template, thus rendering the "joke" meaningless anyway. And I'd hate to see an edit-war about whether it can stay in or not.) Newyorkbrad (talk) 22:33, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
