[Foundation-l] Boycott in ace at wiki

[Ryan Kaldari]

This template now also exists on the English Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:No_Prophet_Muhammad_Images

As an en.wiki admin, my first instinct would be to nominate it for 
deletion, as this template is outside of scope, a violation of NPOV, and 
potentially disruptive. Then the discussion concerning it could be had 
at the TfD page. Would nominating it for deletion be a good idea or a 
bad idea? Are there any alternatives that make sense in this situation?
