Template:User rouge admin

This is being used by users who are not admins. Someone just wrote: "Guy (JzG) has been an admin for a very long time". This templae appears to support that JzG is an admin. Especially without a verify, it results in deception. RudolfoMD (talk) 01:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The nominator's comments regarding User:JzG pertain to this discussion. Curbon7 (talk) 01:27, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. This appears to be some sort of payback/nuisance nomination. —holly {chat} 01:30, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. JzG may not be an admin, but he was one for many years, having resigned in late 2020 in (as far as I can tell) good standing. Instances of non-admins improperly transcluding this userbox can be addressed by either discussing with those editors or, if they haven't edited in a long time, simply removing or refactoring the userbox. That is not a reason to delete the userbox. The majority of transclusions are by users who actually are admins. I note that the above comments by Curbon7 and Holly Cheng paint this nomination in an unflattering light. --Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 01:47, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. One of the most important historical things about Wikipedia. —SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:49, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - "someone used this template who shouldn't have used it" is not a reason to delete a template. No valid reason for deletion given. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:29, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who's using it, exactly?

So I can't remove it? It's up to them to remove it? I'm confused by that. They clearly don't want to remove it. Why must I wait? I didn't know if anyone else was using it; it just looked fake. If it's important, as SmokeyJoe says (I don't understand why) then withdrawable.
It's certainly odd that 0 of the 8 people voting on this are active admins using the template. There's just 1 "SEMI-RETIRED" admin. Are any of y'all using multiple accounts? RudolfoMD (talk) 17:05, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

you could view it as odd, and indication of deception... Or you could see it as evidence you made a bad nomination. If you think it's a problem, you can always take Guy to WP:AN. — Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 18:47, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Making unfounded accusations of sockpuppetry is a textbook case of How Not to Win Friends and Influence People. If you think this should be deleted, find a policy-based reason instead of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. —holly {chat} 18:55, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
