Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sugar Bear/Userboxes/user death-expand
Violation of WP:UP which prohibits promotion of acts of violence. This not only promotes an act of violence but wishes it happen "far more often".
Statements or pages that seem to advocate, encourage, or condone these behaviors: vandalism, copyright violation, edit warring, harassment, privacy breach, defamation, and acts of violence. ("Acts of violence" includes all forms of violence, but does not include mere statements of support for controversial groups or regimes that some may interpret as an encouragement of violence.)

- Keep, MfD is not for policy development. This is a wedge to crack open the userbox wars truce. Instead, go to Wikipedia talk:Userboxes to develop the policy line on political opinion. The death penalty is legal in many countries. Users are allowed to briefly state their positions on politics, it is even a valid COI declaration. Seeking to delete these userboxes amounts to making people either subst them, or to post their opinions in prose, neither would necessarily be better for the project.
- This userbox has many transclusions. If deletion is seriously on the cards, all users transclusions it should be notified. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 02:07, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - As per User:SmokeyJoe, the Wikipedia community should not be imposing a culture of political correctness. The death penalty is a political decision by republics, Only a weak keep because this userbox is divisive and non-constructive. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:12, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Keep I'm not the biggest fan of political userboxes per Robert McClenon, but support for capital punishment is well within the Overton Window at Wikipedia and is not subject to POLEMIC. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 21:04, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
