930: 945: 939: 982: 1148: 896:. We have far too many people who make the mistake even without the templates. We don't need to encourage people to make that mistake even more easily. The very few times when such a template might be appropriate are vastly outweighed by the times when they were demonstrably harmful to the discussions. 721:
were deleted, it seems, on the basis that loading a little green tick annoyed someone, and that voting goes against consensus. However, I feel there are places where voting is appropriate - for instance when deciding on an image to use from several possibles, in an RfA, etc - and that these templates
866:
I just think that in some cases, they have a use. Knowledge (XXG) is about consensus I agree, but consensus generally requires compromise, and there are some issues on which there is no middle ground, simply a question of yes or no and in the end tallying up the results.
298:. While it was written badly enough that it didn't assert its importance, the link at the bottom suggests there may be some notability. And A7 is meant to delete non-notable things, not possibly-notable things. Anyone can feel free to take it to AfD. Cheers. -- 1129:
Correct close, and I'm glad we're rid of them. Personally, I would regard any use of the suggestion above for inserting the symbol in the context of an AfD as POINTy. The argument was that they impeded rational discussion, and that holds for any substitute also.

Article was deleted under PROD, even though there only appeared to be content issues. I think it could be developed into a good article, particularly if you bring in the qualities of various facilities of different clubs in different sports.

in consensus discussion, I think ending such a practice would require policy adoption, partcularly since the images are in commons. I'm all for ending the practice, but find the irony in presently using the image humorous.
274:. Borderline notability, creator seems to have some sense of what is required on Knowledge (XXG) to establish notability. Taking it to AfD will give him a chance to develop and generate discussion/consensus on the topic. 185: 722:
provided a useful tool to help people pick out the votes on proposals. Yes there are situations where they are not appropriate, but they should be available for those situations where voting IS appropriate. -

I quite like these, a taste inherited perhaps from the French wiki which uses them as a matter of course at Pages a Supprimer (their VfD). But consensus on enwiki was indisputable that these should go.

I think these things are kind of tacky, personally. Is it really that much to ask that people actually read a comment and not expect it to be boiled down to a shiny button (or even a bolded word)? --

they are notable. There's a difference. An article about a clearly notable subject would be A7-eligible if the assertation of notability wasn't included. --

Well, not in theory, but we can't stop people from using them if they want to. Unless we make it a blockable offense, but that'd just be crazy. --
