The result was: Delete category and the two templates.  Cbrown1023   talk   21:34, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Category:User instruments and subsidaries
A creation of User:PatPeter who has been blocked for a year (see WQ:VP archive, 2004/07). Only used for Template:User musician which is used by none, even by its creator (incoming link). And there is another user template, Template:User Catholic. I would like to propose for deletion of those two templates, too. I don't think it is a good idea to encourage editors to create user templates, specially without community consensus beforehand.

 * Delete Wikiquote is not a community site primarily, and those pages don't serve to build a community at this moment - only used by a long-term banned user (and practically used by none, as I said on the above). I would suggest we'll ban all user template except Babel and at maximum community based activity tags (like ENWP Adopt-a-user participation); German Wikipedia allows user "templates" to be hosted only in the user namespace. --Aphaia 20:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a major issue that belongs on WQ:VP. English Wikipedia allows user boxes (I have several myself).--Poetlister 12:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm nodding you to move the issue to the WQ:VP and have a longer term discussion, if preferable.  --Aphaia 13:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
