This template is virtually never used. And it does not indicate what part of the privacy policy requires that Checkuser not link accounts to IPs - and I can't find such a part; it appears to conflict with practice too. Elvey(t•c) 20:46, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I don't think that it's fair to say that 283 transclusions is virtually unused. The checkuser policy states:
The disclosure of actual checkuser data (such as IP addresses) is subject to the privacy policy, which requires that identifying information not be disclosed except under the following circumstances:
With the permission of the affected user;
Where the user has been vandalising articles or persistently behaving in a disruptive way, data may be released to non-checkusers to allow the making of IP blocks or rangeblocks, or to assist in the formulation of a complaint to relevant Internet Service Providers or network operators; and
Where it could reasonably be thought necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the Wikimedia Foundation, its users or the public.
Also, it's certainly not in conflict with practice. To do so would likely be a privacy policy violation. Mike V • Talk 22:14, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately this template is not being used appropriately. It is being used almost entirely for very big mistakes on part of other editors, which for new editors this can be WP:BITEy and for more experienced this could be WP:UNCIVIL. For the appropriate uses of this template, such as noting a ridiculous mistake on one's self-part, we have the much less intimidating {{self-trout}}, and for others' silly mistakes, a normal {{trout}} is much more appropriate.

  • Keep This has already been discussed at length at the previous attempt at deletion and the same argument was advanced then. Templates aren't uncivil, editors are uncivil. If there is an issue with editors using this inappropriately and in an uncivil manner, deal with that through the normal process for uncivil users. I also disagree with the premise its being used for mistakes of other editors, I've largely seen it used in self-deprecating humour. WCMemail 14:01, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2011 October 3#Template:Facepalm which was the 3rd time of nomination, now been nominated 4 times. The template itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with templates.

@Berean Hunter: These AFDs have nothing to do with the template. This is a template, not an article, hence it is at TFD. --TL22 (talk) 00:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This template appears to be redundant to {{s-npo|union}} which is more frequently used. It also doesn't seem to be in line with the colour scheme used for other succession boxes as the colour is shared with the one used for for-profit business positions rather than other non-profit positions. Graham (talk) 01:28, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, there's an existing box for this? I have no objection to deletion if this is so. - The Bushranger One ping only 09:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you have no objection, Bushranger, would this be eligible for speedy deletion per WP:G7? Graham (talk) 19:35, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe so? - The Bushranger One ping only 22:32, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
