Transferring nomination incorrectly placed at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 January 24#Template:User cobol-0. 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) 00:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Meaningless and unnecessary —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

What is meaningless and unnecessary about having a little dose of fun in the user pages? Thirteen Wikipedia users disagrees. -- Egil (talk) 14:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

• Keep -- This is for user pages, after all, and it really should be all right to express an agreement with Edsger Dijkstra on the computer language COBOL. Egil (talk) 06:51, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Keep The meaning is quite clear: The user understands that they have no COBOL skills and can admit to it. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 16:22, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Comment Several -0 templates have been deleted for being unencyclopedic. What is the purpose of knowing all of the skills other editors don't have? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:38, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

• Keep No requirement that userboxes be meaningful nor necessary. Most aren't. Collect (talk) 13:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
• Delete - it is not useful to know that an editor has no COBOL skills. Userboxes need not be very useful, but they also should not be completely useless. I don't believe that any of the users who use this template will be made unhappy (or even care or notice) if the template is deleted or removed. –Black Falcon ^(talk) 19:28, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
• Keep - RECORD. avoid disruption. END. Racepacket (talk) 15:22, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

  Who or what is disrupted by this nomination or would be disrupted by deleting the template? Thanks, –Black Falcon ^(talk) 20:54, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
