User:Xaosflux/UBX/User religion flying spaghetti monster not really
An inflammatory userbox that serves no encyclopedic purpose. Userboxes are meant to provide some basic information about users, not to attack specific people, belief systems, etc.--Anon3 17:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: Anon3's only edits have been to nominate this userpage for deletion. — xaosflux  Talk  02:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - as a generalized form of personal attack, as per WP:NPA. Badbilltucker 18:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep First of all this userbox is in userspace, which is far more liberal concerning "encyclopedic purpose" and NPOV that "official" Wikispace. Secondly, I fail to see where the personal attack lies - yes, the userbox is inherently humorous, but I fail to see how the statement "This user does not believe in Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, but agrees it is as likely as creationism." could be considered a personal attack - objectively seen it not even assigns the "likelyhood of creationism" or "likelyhood of FSMism" any value - a user might not believe in FSMism but think that that chance of it being true is quite high - exactly as high as (in his believe) the chance of creationism being true.

 * Keep as above. Not only is this userbox intended to be humourous, but it does also provide some useful information about the editor - their stance towards theism. Hut 8.5 20:48, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep This GUS'd box is in userspace, and decribes "...information about ... areas of ... interest, likes and dislikes," as referenced in the User page guideline. — xaosflux  Talk  02:27, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep User namespace does not need to serve "encyclopaedic purpose." The userbox is neither inflamatory nor is it a personal attack, and any such assertion is ridiculous. It's a flying spaghetti monster. --NMChico24 02:36, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Silly satire is not an "attack", and creationism is not a "person", so I fail to see how this could possibly be a personal attack. -Silence 03:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. A user's interests could not possibly be perceived as an attack on anyone or anything, it is merely a matter of expressing opinion. Since this is done on believer's userpage and nowhere else, to stamp it an "attack" is ludicrous. -TydeNet 04:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per reasons above --Boris Johnson VC 12:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per X /talk. --dannycas 14:02, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep bad nomination by an obvious sockpuppet. Stubbleboy 22:14, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Possibly, though I'll extend enough good faith that the nominator just doesn't like this box. If nothing else this MFD can get filed in the WP:GUS test cases department. —  xaosflux  Talk  02:28, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Not a personal attack, humorous, and not supposed to be encyclopedic. Gdo01 06:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Nominated by an account with zero other edits. The only supporter voted minutes afterwards. Suspect sockpuppetry. -- kenb215 17:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
