I deleted that one myself.
And then, upon a request on my talk page, undeleted it. I'll let the
TfD run its course.
I'm in favor of deleting a ton of userboxes, especially those with
non-free images, but frankly, I think we should get rid of most of them
anyway. (This is not a decree and I'm trying to stay out of the userbox
wars myself. Mostly.)
Jimbo,
What's your opinion on the inclusion of user categories (Pro-life,
Democrat, etc...) in userboxes? Even if these userboxes are kept, I
don't see why these templates should categorize users unless it
somehow relates to the encyclopedia (we should keep Babel boxes, for
example). I realize you'd like to remain neutral on the general issue
of userboxes, but would you support the removal of categories from
most userboxes?
