Two very, *very* weird occurrances in the space of a couple of hours:
a) Someone on AfD requests that a discussion on the notability of the subject of the AfDed article be moved away from AfD, because discussion takes place on talkpages (the inference being that AfD is only for voting, when AfD is not at all a vote).
b) A userbox created for pure vandalism (that is, it's nonsense, created by a vandal, to facilitate filling the main article space --- that's where we used to write articles --- with nonsense) was speedied as "pure vandalism" (because that's what it is), then taken to DRV because "OMG! Cyde deleted a userbox! Get him!"
Is it a full moon now, or is Wikipedia just getting stupider?

For what's it worth we indef-blocked the guy who created it as well as the guy who brought it to DRVU :-D
