Template:Wikibook
This template is not used and appears to have been created accidentally, and then made to redirect to Template:wikibooksBovineone 23:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So redirect it to Template:Wikibooks. No need to TfD. Redirects are cheap, even if unused. However, I'll vote delete for simple process if a redirect isn't necessary. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 00:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, orphaned. -- Cyde Weys  19:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Template:Wikibooks --T-rex 05:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Wikibooks; unfortunately, there is not today a redirect template R from singular which would mirror R from plural and would be appropriate to add to the redirect. User:Ceyockey ( talk to me ) 22:42, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Template:Wikibooks -- no need to delete wholesale when a less disruptive option is available.--Ssbohio 02:29, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:MLB infobox Braves
MLB infobox Braves is a single-article infobox. It recalls MLB infobox, which is just another template. This is a single-article infobox which recalls another template, so delete. &mdash; Brenden  h  ull  21:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|Oppose|15px]] Delete. Per nom. Lincher 22:41, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, ditto. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 00:31, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Note: Similar single-article infoboxes exist for basically every other MLB team: MLB infobox Cardinals, MLB infobox Astros, etc. It looks like either these exist for a reason or the editor who created these doesn't know how to use infoboxes. --All in 02:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Then delete them, too, especially if they're unused or can be replaced. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 05:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, the individual infoboxes were needed I believe. Plus it's not doing any harm and enhances the Braves article. How about you fix it before deleting if you have a problem. JohnnyBGood [[Image:Flag of Mexico.svg|15px]] t  c  17:27, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:User Slut
This userbox is neither funny nor relevant in any way to contributions on Wikipedia. It has the potential to be divisive or inflammatory. BigDT 19:08, 14 May 2006 (UTC) khan 21:56, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Though helpful if you're in the real world, it does little good on the net. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 19:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very useful with finding editors with... err... specific expertise. Friendly Neighbour 20:16, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. Have you ever met a userbox you didn't like? Mackensen (talk) 19:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, funny but not really suitable for a "family" site DannyM 20:57, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * WP:NOT censored. — Cuivi é  nen  T, Sunday, 14 May 2006 @ 22:10 UTC
 * Weak delete however, the above reasoning is flawed, as Wikipedia is not censored. Mopper Speak! 21:00, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. DannyM's point is moot, as Wikipedia is not a "family" site. Also, plenty of people use the word 'slut' in a positive manner. grendel|
 * Comment, suppose it's about the way you use it, but in my books it's offensive, sorry if you don't agree DannyM 17:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Wikipedia is not censored! -- Grafikm  (AutoGRAF)  22:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - divisive/inflammatory (but perhaps not so clearly so as to be a T1). There's no reason I could possibly imagine going through editing and wonder "gee, where can I find a slut to make this article better?" (ESkog)(Talk) 22:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Delete. WP is not a prostitution house, users don'T really need to identify as such. Lincher 22:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Slut is not the same asprostitute. For that matter, neither is yiff (below).  If someone was offering sexual services for compensation via a userbox, then I could see your point.  As it stands, I see little chance that this will lead to the birth of Wikipedia: The Bordello.--Ssbohio 23:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete pointless and tacky--Doc ask?  23:15, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, needlessly vulgar, should not be used anywhere. Christopher Parham (talk) 23:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Incredibly Strong Keep. Censorship is wrong, you freedom-haters.Hezzy 00:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. What right have we to delete it? Someoneinmyheadbutit&#39;snotme 00:56, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * By that same logic you've no right to edit. Please cease editing or I'm afraid I'll have to block you indefinitely. Mackensen (talk) 19:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep WP:NOT censorded! The Gerg 01:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|35px]]Keep. As per my opposition to T1 and related worldviews. Loom91 07:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ah finally a userbox debate at the correct TFD forum rather than the wrong DRVU forum. Ũserbox is offensive. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all userboxes. Larix 14:42, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Inappropriate way to use userboxes.  A userbox saying, "this user has an unhealthy interest in Wikipedia's sexual articles," would accomplish the same thing as this box, but it would be useful.--M @ r ē ino 14:47, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|35px]]Keep, treasure, and love forever. Where would we be if there was no way to know who among us is a slut? And why is it offensive? There's nothing offensive on being slutty. Besides Wikipedia, not censored, WP: not censored for minors, freedom of speech, why do you hate America, long live the queen, blahblahblah, you know the drill. --many Revolutions 16:03, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * [[Image:Symbol_delete_vote.svg|20px]] Delete. The line has to be drawn somewhere. — Nathan (Got something to say? Say it.) 01:05, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Why not keep it? // Liftarn 14:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per its being an expression of a characteristic of a user within userspace. Further, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue.  These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians.  That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture;  they are not used in article space.  The controversy needs to be put to bed once & for all, not endlessly played out here.--Ssbohio 23:40, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep the userbox templates. Stop crusading. -MrFizyx 05:10, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Very useful as a template, and harmless too. As are most of the victims of this tiresome battle. Mnerd 06:02, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all in-policy UBX. If you want to edit that policy to reflect your concerns, please do so. TfD is not the right place to create or subvert policy. Watch the use of this UBX; like all such it should never be put on others' user pages. John Reid 14:20, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 *  Delete  Come on, people. Really... --Joseph 02:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: ..."Really" what? --many Revolutions 08:14, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Useful for identifying people who are likely to have more knowledge about sexual subjects, and more willingness to contribute that knowlege to articles, than the average person.  So long as it's self-applied by people who do not consider the word to be an insult, there's no problem.  --Icarus 10:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Icarus3. --AySz88^ - ^ 18:10, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. WP is not a prostitution house, users don't really need to show their sexual tendencies other than being homo or heterosexual IMHO. Lincher 22:45, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * What makes homo/heterosexuality different from other forms of sexual expression? As I see it, treatment of persons' sexual orientation should be consistent across the board.--Ssbohio 23:34, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Userbox has sexual connotions which make it offensive. HOWEVER, a userbox saying "this user is a furry" should not be deleted.  Those people are harmless.--Mareino 14:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * No vote here, but keep in mind Wikipedia is uncensored and contains no disclaimers other than whats on the disclaimer page. So, therefore, votes for it being offensive due to sexual connotations will probably be considered null and void, as I can think up of quite a few articles that would have to be deleted under those reasons.  -TwilightPhoenix 21:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia ARTICLES are not censored, because they deal with adult themes. It's a misstatement of fact to imply there is unregulated free speech on Wikipedia. Policy says otherwise. See WP:NOT. Nhprman 15:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete and Move to the User space, where it can be SAFE from deletion attempts like this in the future. Nhprman 17:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. There seems to be a huge group of people trying to delete massive numbers of articles, categories, and templates, saying they're "unencyclopedic". Do i have to re-create the articles if they're deleted? becuase, i will do so. First off, LAY OFF THE NOMINATIONS. Ther are TOO many articles you people are trying to delete, most of them are USEFUL. if you don't like them, they're off wikipedia? What's even worse is that it's the ADMINS doing this! --User:Raccoon Fox 18:41, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * First, these aren't "articles" they are Templated Userboxes. Second, Userboxes are ONLY "unencyclopedic" if they reside in the Template space, where tools for creating articles are kept (that's the major reason people want them moved, not content.) If they are deleted from there, "substituted," and moved to userspace ("Delete and Subst"), they 1) remain on your user page - they don't disappear, 2) can NEVER be deleted through this process again and 3) will be available in a central location for EVERYONE to use however they see fit. This is the solution being offered at WP:MACK and it is better than the mass deletions we have now, which you and I both don't care for. Thanks. - Nhprman 15:28, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per my vote and comment(s) below. Yes, as others are saying, I recommend that care be taken that this is not discrimination. ---Bersl2 20:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. I'm not hearing any relevant argument for deletion other than some people are uncomfortable with this harmless fetish. This userbox represents a sizable population of people who have no less of a right of self-identification than any other. Moreover, it does not violate any policy that insists on good faith relations between Wikipedians (i.e. it doesn't exemplify hatred, discrimination, or abuse). –Frater5 (talk/con) 17:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Porphyric Hemophiliac   §  18:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Per Frater5, disliking someone's orientation/fetish/lifestyle/perversion (the term depends on your feelings about it) doesn't mean it gets to be unilaterally wiped off the face of Wikipedia. Also, I oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue.  These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians.  That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture;  they are not used in article space.

 * Keep We don't delete other templates with sexual connotations because they're "offensive", besides WP:NOT Wikipedia is NOT censored, so it can contain offensive and objectional material. It seems to me that whoever nominated the template is just uncomfortable with people who have a fetish for yiff, yeah, and I'm uncomfortable with pedophiles and they are a lot more offensive as far as most people are concerned, we still have articles on pedophilia, and saying that you want to get rid of it because it is offensive is POV, which as far as I can recall is against WP policy. Beno1000 20:46, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I've just noticed that the nominator has left Wikipedia and cited the Userbox wars as part of his reason for doing so, so I'm calling this as a possible WP:POINT issue. Beno1000 21:02, 21 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Comment: Since the nominator has left wikipedia, does that mean this nomination for deletion is null and void?

All userboxes below
If there's going to be another massive round of nominations, there might as well be a blanket vote option available. Stick all new userboxes nomination below this to make it easier to vote on. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 18:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all except Template:User all your base. In this case, most do seem fairly useless. – Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 18:50, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment/Suggestion While normally I would agree with that, I would suggest that in this case, there are differences in the userboxes. For example, some are harmless humor.  Others are mean-spirited.  Others describe users' sexual practices.  I would suggest that if you want to vote en masse to keep, you look at each of the userboxes and make sure that there aren't some you believe should be destroyed.  For example, Template:user hate is overtly inflammatory and ought to be speedied.  I would imagine that even most ardent userbox supporters, myself included, would not want to vote to keep that one.  Thus, I would suggest one thing: if you want to vote en masse, perhaps it would be a good idea to list with your vote the userboxes you are actually voting in favor of or against, eg, "delete everything but xxx" or "keep everything but xxx", etc.  BigDT 18:52, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and userfy or moved to a separate namespace. Can someone stop listing the boxen? We've got close to 100 undergoing TfD right now...they're choking TfD.--Toffile 19:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all if the alternative is a kangaroo trial. Userboxes' fate should be discussed on merit, case by case. Friendly Neighbour 20:23, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Userfy/subst and delete. However, there's 2 new ones above. In future it is IMO a better idea to create the batch voting place once the day is over. Perhaps we could also create a special subpage of TfD especially for userboxes (like they did on WP:DRV->WP:UBD)? There's still hundreds to delete - this place can't handle it. Misza 13 T C 21:25, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol oppose vote.svg|15px]] Delete all. Too inflammatory userboxes, will create reverse and warring conflicts in the future for sure. Lincher 22:47, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep all above and below - no reason to delete these. Please subst and userfy all deleted boxes.  Thanks. --67.168.249.84 23:21, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Subst, and stop nominating userboxes for deletion. Userboxes don't divide us.  Mass deleting them does, as it drives an unnecessary wedge into our Wikipedian lives. Crazyswordsman 00:10, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Stop nominating userboxes for deletion. See above.Hezzy 00:25, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Most emphatically keep all. They do no harm and their removal would serve only to gratify a handful of killjoys. Would the serial nominator kindly stop it; it comes to a pretty pass when one has occasion to ask an administrator not to attempt to disrupt Wikipedia. Ou tis 00:37, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete -- inappropriate use of Wikipedia resources. Jkelly 01:16, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strongest Possible Keep all except for a few exceptions. Read Wp:Ubx. Only to be used in the User namespace, never articles. Also don't disrupt Wikipedia, which Cyde seems to be doing. The Gerg 01:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment link is WP:UBX. ;-) --DavidHOzAu 03:50, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a complete mess. It seems as though each interested user and admin has his head up his backside, regardless of his stance on the issues. Wikipedians are writing text, but no communication is happening. No understanding anywhere. Anyway, I think that it is more prudent to keep userboxes as-is for the time being, since (as I see it) immediately deleting userboxes will cause significantly more long-term harm to Wikipedia than would keeping userboxes in the short term. Continuing to threaten the creations of those supporting userboxes---and thus the creators themselves---does not help resolve the problem in a way that I believe is very Wikipedian, but rather authoritarian. Is this really what any of us want? Do we really believe that use of power is the only or best way to resolve this? ---Bersl2 02:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep (except for the 3 closed discussions below as of this posting) (not withstanding any specific entries below) these nominations have become a WP:POINT issue, I'm trying to be on wikibreak, or I'd start up an RFC; additionally there is nothing wrong with any of these templates. — xaosflux  <sup style="color:#00FF00;">Talk  03:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename and Keep Rename all userboxes to UserBox:XYZ or UserBox:XYZ, and only allow their non-subst inclusion on userpages. I'm all for deletion of abused userboxes that target articles for malicious edits, but there are ongoing polls/discussion on this.<sup style="vertical-align: top;">1 2 3 I however find it amusing that the deletion criteria "Unencylopedic" doesn't apply to user pages and yet still applies to user boxes that only appear on said user pages. Yes, templates should be encyclopedic, but the convention of User put-userbox-name-here suggests that all userboxes are (unofficially) not in "enyclopedia template space" to begin with, but are in "userbox template space". Perhaps this should be made official as per my suggestion in italics. With this in mind, the criteria of deletion most commonly cited at the moment appears to stem from a pedantic use of semantics. --DavidHOzAu 03:43, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|35px]]Strong Speedy Keep. Stop nominating/speedying userboxes. Keep even divisive and inflammatory ones. Loom91 07:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep Please don't tell us what we should be doing and instead act more like an administratior. Thanks. --71.50.118.70 11:17, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Deleting these Userboxes and moving them to User space ensures that they will NOT be nominated for deletion again, and in fact SAVES them for users to enjoy as code. If users all support "Keep" - based on the mistaken notion taht they are supporting "their" favorite boxes - they will be subject to more and more deletion attempts, some of which will be successful. By moving them NOW, they will be available for people to use, and those who oppose them as templates (because they are not tools used for editing the Ency.) will be satisfied. - Nhprman 17:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Re: Comment: There are likely a certain amount of infrastructural details that need to be discussed before a transition into userspace can happen; however, if userboxes continue to be threatened with deletion in the short term, how can this happen properly? Stop deleting, return to discussion, and work for a proper solution to the problem, for taking short-sighted action like this here solves nothing; the demand for userboxes is not going to magically disappear by deleting them. ---Bersl2 20:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This is the discussion. And actually, Subst'ing them onto User pages - which preserves them in the form they currenty exist - is instantaneous and requires no long discussions over technical issues. If they are Subst'd at the same time they are deleted from Template space, then your concerns are unwarranted, and the nominators have already said they will Subst them if the consensus is to delete them from Template space. The demand for userboxes is not the issue. They will be SAVED if they go into User space. They are subject to these subjective deletion attempts over and over again if they remain here. The choice seems pretty clear. Nhprman 15:49, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Subst them where? How will we find them all again? You do realize that we want to be able to continue to list them as we do now. Just subst-ing them onto our user pages doesn't help us to do that. Also, when I said "discussion", I meant discussion about all userboxes, not individual ones. ---Bersl2 21:57, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There is currently a place where all users got their user boxes. That seems a logical central location for them, and it's been suggested that the code be placed there. (someone on WP:MACK has a suggestion on how they can be displayed.) Nhprman 04:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete them all. I'll remind users that this isn't a free speech issue; even if it was, there's no right to free speech on Wikipedia. Persistent refusal to grasp this will only make things worse. Mackensen (talk) 19:08, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. (If deleted Subst, which the nominations do not envisage.) This is a proposal for petty officiousness, which is contrary to Jimbo's advice to relax a little; and is undesirable for any project relying upon volunteer labor. This is not a free speech issue, but how exactly do any of these deletions help to build the encyclopedia? Septentrionalis 00:35, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Okkay, so I'm new around here, but I completely fail to see what these hurt. There have to be much bigger problems with Wikipedia than letting users decorate their pages with snippets of code. Further, keeping them all in one place and allowing them to be easily reused is probably a bigger savings than having them in N users' pages as the actual code they represent. Jay Maynard 01:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - Welcome! There's a long history of abuse with these boxes, only because of where they reside on the server (a place called "Template space".) Suffice it to say that by deleting them from the Template space, and "Substituting" the text, they remain on your User page, they can no longer be challenged for deletion like this, and they will be available for others to use. Please see WP:MACK for the full proposal, and consider changing your support to "Delete and Subst". Thanks! - Nhprman 15:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Keep Oppose, prima facie, deletion of userboxes one by one while consensus is lacking on the larger issue. These kind of userboxes do no harm and, by and large, are opposed with the intent to artificially limit the behavior of Wikipedians. That they are in template space is an issue of system architecture; they are not used in article space. The controversy needs to be put to bed once & for all, not endlessly played out here. Until we reach COnsensus on userboxes, I'm asking those who are proposing these deletions wholesale to please hang back, take a break, and respect the process in its ability to bring us to consensus.--Ssbohio 23:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep As Jmaynard said, there are much bigger problems on WP than this. Theres hundred of different categories with back logs, thousands of stubs that need both extending and categorising, and general vandalism that is always a problem. Maybe admins should put their effort into sorting out those problems? Also, most of these templates are not offensive, are not inflamatory and are not devisive. If you see a little rectangled box saying a quote from Men In Black or "this user is awesome" or "this user is a n00b" and are offended, you seriously need help. How can people be offended by this sort of thing? Many of these userboxes are ones that say "this user is..." and yet, somehow, people are offended even though the only criticism is towards the user displaying the userbox! This sort of thing really makes me wonder - if people are like this, does humanity really have a chance? I know people say "you can never rely on the public", but this takes it to a new level - • The Giant Puffin •  19:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Wait for WP:MACK, User:Misza13/Userbox Gallery Poll, or Userbox policy to be accepted as policy. That's a keep all' for now. There's no hurry, and it's a lot easier to delete than to undelete. Also, I doubt anybody is seriously alienated by leaving the boxes for a while, but many are alienated by deleting them. TheJ a  bb  e  rw  &#664;  ck 20:38, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Random Comment (Not in response to anyone's posting) I don't think Userboxes "hurt" anyone. Most are harmless. That's not the point, though perhaps putting them up for deletion by the dozen skews that point, or at least obscures it. Fact is, if they remain in the Template space, some people are going to continue deleting them - fairly or unfairly - and some users will continue to stubbornly defend them from deletion - even the ones that should be deleted under current or future Template space deletion criteria (T1/T2, etc.) Wikipedia is supposed to be something MORE than this idiotic battling. The best solution is to find a home for the code in the User space (or some other non-template space, whatever) and have users cut/paste that code onto their pages, edit them as they wish, and enjoy them to their hearts' content - without fear of having them deleted. What's wrong with that? I think some users just like to argue about things and LOVE this "process" debate, while some others are willfully twisting the facts or ignoring the simple solution in front of us (WP:MACK) because they enjoy conflict. Whatever the case, it's VERY tiresome, and not worth our time here. - Nhprman 04:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Keep - this is a widely used template that is not overtly objectionable. Until the entire userbox question as a whole is settled, IMO, userboxes should not be deleted if the only problem is that they are not encyclopedic.  BigDT 18:34, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

If "Keep" is the consensus, then they are kept in Template space, where they will be subject to deletion over and over again. I hope people reconsider their positions here.

 * Comment - as I said on the DRV for the sums of PI userboxes, I, unambiguously, mean keep as in keep the template itself. Considering that Cyde said, "Remember, you are voicing your opinion on whether this needs to be a template rather than code on a userpage" at the very top of this TFD, I would assume that many or most of the other people voting Keep meant that as well.

 * I created this version of it. From what I could see, there had been a different version out there earlier, with an icon, like this: [[Image:Symbol keep vote.svg|20px]] Keep. A bunch of people used it in AfD discussions, and then it got removed, leaving a whole bunch of votes that now showed redlinked as Template:Skeep. I thought it would be useful to at least have something in that template, so I filled it with Keep. I figured it would be easier than going through a whole lot of AfDs and cleaning out the uses of it. I did the same thing for templates Scomment, Smerge and Sdelete, so if you want to remove this one, bundle in the rest. - Fan1967 01:27, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
