User:Feureau/UserBox/Pizza Hut


These userboxes are pure advertising, violating the third guideline on Userboxes. Users who want to make it known that they eat at Pizza Hut could just as easily use eg. User:UBX/ANJ/Pizza. Carbon Rodney 11:00, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Note: there was a previous discussion for similar userboxes here (in 2006). -- Carbon Rodney 11:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep I don't think this and the other nominated infoboxes do violate the guideline. It doesn't advertise Pizza Hut (that would requires something like: "This user thinks Pizza Hut is the best pizza outlet in the country", and even then, that's more a statement of opinion than an advert), it doesn't advocate for Pizza Hut (which would be along the lines of, "This user wants Pizza Hut to get the recognition it deserves!"), nor does it recruit for Pizza Hut ("This user can get you a job at Pizza Hut. Interested? Call me!"). The userbox makes no value judgement regarding Pizza Hut, and as such, doesn't violate the content restrictions guideline, being merely a statement of information about the user's eating habits. IMHO, anyway. Yunshui 雲&zwj;水 11:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Does that mean this isn't advertising? ;) -- Carbon Rodney 12:04, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep as per consensus of previous discussion for similar templates.  Catfish  Jim  and the soapdish  12:15, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep These are harmless userboxes. Mar4d (talk) 13:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep To me, this nomination seems like a violation of WP:POINT. I don't see how those userboxes are being used for advertising. What would be inappropriate, is for example saying "This user wants you to eat at Pizza Hut", not simply saying "This user eats at Pizza Hut."

 * Keep this template, or Delete all of the templates that mention Wikipedia, Chrome, Firefox, Windows, Linux, (...) Pilif12p 02:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per all keep recommendations above. These userboxes are distinguishable from the ones in the 2006 MfD because they are in userspace, rather than templatespace. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:37, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
