Template:User haskell-N

Transferring nomination incorrectly placed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 January 24#Template:User haskell-N. Userboxes are supposed to be discussed at MFD. Comments already made in the TFD discussion, including the original nomination statement by Koavf (talk · contribs), are reproduced below. RL0919 (talk) 00:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meaningless and unnecessary —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:19, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand the criteria for deletion - why are CSS-0 and CSS-N up for deletion, but only haskell-N and not -0? ZoFreX (talk) 10:13, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Makes perfect sense to me. The user is very good at the Haskell programming language. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 16:28, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment No one is a native speaker of a programming language. This can be collapsed to haskell-4 or haskell-5 —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Comment It's obviously an attempt at humor, and it does convey a different message than the other haskell boxes (I'm not just capable of using haskell, my life is defined by haskell). Of course no one is literally a native speaker of a programing language. Is there any precedent for hyperbole in user boxes? Buddy431 (talk) 04:07, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Replace with {{User haskell-4}} and delete. As Justin wrote: "no one is a native speaker of a programming language". –Black Falcon ^(talk) 02:55, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Userboxes are frequently meaningless and unnecessary. We do not delete them for that <g>. Smile a bit. Collect (talk) 13:34, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
