If it were applied globally to the religious userboxes, I wouldn't have objected at all.
May I quote you on that? Specifically, may I have your explicit permission and request (on this mailing list) for anyone with the sysop bit on the English edition of Wikipedia to speedy delete all the userboxes listed on http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Userboxes/ Religion&oldid=56262627 under the criteria CSD T2. If you truly agree with this, it would certainly help.
Those who complain that the T1 speedy deletion criterion is being applied unevenly are barking up the wrong tree. They'll all go in good time, but it would be wrong to delete them all at once, without allowing time for discussion over the application of policy, which is still ongoing. The results of this slow, measured pace have been a growing confidence and a steadier support for a broad application. Although applications for deletion review are made more often for templates than for any other type of deletion, there are relatively few successful undeletions. Wikipedia policy is being restored to template space.
