User:Bedford/userboxes/America Held Hostage

User:Bedford/userboxes/America Held Hostage (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)​

Seems to be an opaque reference to the Obama administration complete with derogatory WP:EGG link; besides being ludicrously outdated also counts as fairly obvious trolling. Dronebogus (talk) 10:00, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Obvious derogatory, with a hardly understandable clam that an administration elected twice in open, fair and highly contested elections held its country as a hostage. This could be useful almost exclusively to alt-right supporters, and that says a lot. —Sundostund (talk) 12:11, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Speedy Keep It has been updated, and the only reason it would be deleted is because the nominator was being childish.--King Bedford I 13:52, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
    No, this box is childish. Biden/Obama won the election fairly, they’re holding nobody hostage. Dronebogus (talk) 20:47, 8 August 2022 (UTC)
  • Delete - This is clearly a reference to the long debunked conspiracy that Trump won the 2020 US Presidential election and possibly violates WP:ARBAP2. Misplaced Pages is not the place for touting conspiracy theories, and I would nominate the userbox for WP:G10 if I were certain that it qualified. Those decisions shall be left to an administrator. I note that Bedford took the time to reset the clock on the userbox to January 6, 2021, but left the WP:EGG pointing to the 2008 election. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 00:22, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
    This could also be viewed as Bedford preaching upon a WP:SOAPBOX. — Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 00:27, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
