May I quote you on that? Specifically, may I have your
explicit
permission and request (on this mailing list) for anyone with the sysop
bit on the English edition of Wikipedia to speedy delete all the
userboxes listed on

Religion&oldid=56262627 under the criteria CSD T2. If you truly agree
with this, it would certainly help.
Those who complain that the T1 speedy deletion criterion is being
applied unevenly are barking up the wrong tree. They'll all go in
good time, but it would be wrong to delete them all at once, without
allowing time for discussion over the application of policy, which is
still ongoing. The results of this slow, measured pace have been a
growing confidence and a steadier support for a broad application.
Although applications for deletion review are made more often for
templates than for any other type of deletion, there are relatively
few successful undeletions. Wikipedia policy is being restored to
template space.
