If left alone as a redirect to WP:Userboxes it will be much easier for those unfamiliar with the project linking schema to find the page. As it currently serves no other apparent purpose, there doesn't seem to be any logical reason for it to not at least serve this function. Users in the past have also recommended this course of action. Other pages such as [1] perform functions similar to how this page would, yet they have not been similarly deleted.

Endorse deletion While the AFD discussion mainly focused on self-reference, it's also a fact that cross namespace redirects are a criterion for speedy deletion (contrary to hatnotes in existing articles). How do you suggest keeping this would follow the relevant rules and guidelines? - Mgm|(talk)09:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
To go through the sequence of consensus decisions (ignoring speedies and recreations for the moment), userbox was originally a redirect to Wikipedia:Userboxes. It was deleted by RFD in May 2006. At DRV on March 25, 2008, it was undeleted for an article to be created on the subject. Note that that deletion review did not overturn the decision to delete the redirect, but permitted the page to be unsalted for an article on userboxes. However, this article was deleted on May 9 after an AFD. As such, there is consensus that neither an article nor a redirect should exist at the title, and (at this time) no indication of why that consensus should be changed. I therefore endorse the deletion and recommend reprotection for now. I have also nominated community portal for RFD. Stifle (talk) 09:57, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse DRV2, which Xoloz closed on 6 August 2006 as "closing (make redlink)." The DRV2 discussion was open from 1 August to 6 August 2006 and the DRV2 discussion could not have been closed any other way. Nothing has been presented to overcome the reasons given in DRV2 for upholding the RfD2. In particular, Rjd0060's 9 May 2008 close of AfD1 drew no conclusions regarding DRV2. -- Suntag☼17:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse deletion of course. Userboxes are still very much deprecated, as are cross-namespace redirects. We hashed this out long ago and shouldn't have to suffer the same old tired arguments in favor of either. --TS16:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The above is an archive of the deletion review of the page listed in the heading. Please do not modify it.
