A template is something that gets transcluded somewhere else, regardless of what namespace it's in.
While some templates are suitable to Wikipedia and User namespaces, templates that are speediable in the template namespace should be speediable anywhere else per common sense.

This template which I speedied under CSD T1 and pure common sense is now on DRV because some process wonks are pointing out T1 doesn't apply outside template-space. (Which is, if you think about, blatant wikilawyering, since now anyone can just create the most offensive, polemical and divisive template ever in userspace and have all his buddies transclude it on their userpages.) I mentioned I had speedied the userbox on the Admins' noticeboard, and two other admins expressed agreement:

Wikipedia:Deletion_review could undelete it wherever it is.
Maybe Jimbo should clarify how literally he wants T1 interpreted and whether userboxen in userspace are subject to this sort of thing.

We could but I doubt he could come up with an answer that is short enough to fit on CSD and impossible to rule lawyer around.
