This page is Wikipedia research. While the author makes no secret of his views concerning userboxes, he feels that the debate would be served by a recapitualtion of the facts (as shown by the pages histories and logs) concerning certain userboxes over the period since 2006-01-21. The author is aware of one or two gaps in the coverage, but does not feel that these affect the overall tone of the paper. Users are welcome to comment or to indicate any mistakes on the Talk page.
Policies which might justify the deletion of userboxes
edit- WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not a soapbox
- WP:NOT: Wikipedia is not a free host, blog or webspace provider
- WP:USER: [What can I not have on my user page] Opinion or other pieces not related to Wikipedia
- WP:USER: [What can I not have on my user page] Things that fall into "entertainment" rather than "writing an encyclopedia," particularly if they involve people who are not active participants in the project
- WP:CSD: Divisive and inflammatory templates [are immediately deletable]
Important notes
edit- The criterion for inclusion is that the userbox template has been deleted at least once since 2300 (UTC) 2006-01-21, that is starting the day after Jimbo made his appeal to remove political and religious userboxes from userpages.
- Edit summaries are not shown: instead, an indication of the userbox content is given at each substantive change. Other indications of procedure are given in italics: administrator actions are shown in bold.
- Unless otherwise stated, all times given are UTC+0100 (Central European Time); sorry if this is unhelpful, but it saves me a lot of editing!
- Templates are listed in alphabetical order.
Controversial deletions
editA controversial deletion is a userbox which has been deleted more than once since 2300 (UTC) 2006-01-21.

Less-controversial deletions
editA less-controversial deletion is a user box which has been deleted only once since 2300 (UTC) 2006-01-21 and for reasons of its content (as opposed to purely technical reasons such as redundancy). This criterion is obviously subjective on the part of the editor, and not all cases are listed below. Some templates current under discussion at WP:TFD have also been listed.

Non-controversial deletions
editA non-controversial deletion is a deletion which is not motivated by the content of the userbox, for example userboxes which have become obsolete, which were tests, or which were unused redirects to userspace. Such deletions account for about 80% of userbox deletions by number of actions, or more than 90% of deletions by number of pages. Over the period of the study, total userbox deletions have accounted for about 0.5% of deletion/undeletion actions.

- Also: "Wikipedia may not be a soapbox in theory. When fascists and racists use it as one in fact, then the maximum force should be used to kick them out, with no hackles as to their "right" to share their venom unimpeded." [11]
