It is not appropriate to recreate something that has been deleted through consensus. Template:Strong oppose and Template:Strong support and numerous other voting templates have been previously deleted and recreating a template with the same voting templates and the same features as the previously deleted voting templates is not appropriate and there was no consensus still to do that either. I am not sure if it would constitute as CSD G4 but it is clear that the many deletion discussions for voting templates all came out as "delete" so this is not appropriate. Also, the creation of the voting templates in the template space have all been create protected. Pkbwcgs (talk) 16:34, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol keep vote.svg Keep because I want it to get better-looking votes. – User 45  65  41  16:52, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * However, the voting symbols have been deleted through consensus and you haven't demonstrated that there is consensus to restore the old voting templates and they function the same way as the old voting templates that were deleted through consensus. Previous efforts have been made by other editors to retain them through Deletion review like at Deletion review/Log/2012 April 6 but they were never retained.

 * I like the old ones rather than the new ones. Old one: Symbol keep vote.svg Keep. New one: Keep. – User 45  65  41  17:40, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, they look nice but I am still worried that they are against long-standing consensus with previous deletion discussions which is to delete these voting templates and that they have been recreated with the same function. Pkbwcgs (talk) 17:52, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Why is this page at the (somewhat bizarre!) rather than just ...?  ——  SerialNumber  54129  17:56, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
 * The word "User" is part of the user's name (User456541), so the user page ends up being User:User456541 and any user subpages are User:User456541/.... -- Black Falcon (talk) 00:41, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * User:User456541, would you please tell us about your editing of Wikipedia prior to starting to use this account? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 05:52, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * wouldn't that kind of defeat the object of a clean start...? ——  SerialNumber  54129  09:12, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This start could be cleaner. Silly username, designed to draw attention. Playing games that scream “I’m an old user pretending”. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:37, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Quite! ——  SerialNumber  54129  10:11, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Let's not encourage attempts to make a colorful game out of !voting. Johnuniq (talk) 06:25, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, echoing Johnuniq; they have no useful purpose other than to self-promote the edits of whoever uses them (over the then bland posts of those who do not). They're of use where visual identification is important—for instance if there's a language barrier, but, this being en-wp that's not a particular concern.More broadly, it's probably worth while reminding —if they're not already aware of it—that we draw a distinction between being WP:HERE and WP:NOTHERE. Now, for someone who claims on their user page that I am a simple user who wants to revert vandalism, their so-far 29 edits to mainspace is not a particularly reassuring figure indicating that they fall into the former rather than the latter. Unless this is a clean start account (in which case we should probably seek reassurances that the earlier account wasn't equally obsessed by !voting templates), User:user456451 has been here six weeks and ficussed on almost nothing other than these !voting templates. Indeed, 6 out of 10 of their userpages are devoted to the theme. ——  SerialNumber  54129  12:51, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
