I think that there should be a process to discuss if pages should be deleted. So, we have a discussion page, with support and oppose section, and whichever side gets a majority happens. -User:onoesiissmart 00:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

text: It's neither of those. It's "don't object to proposals that have a significant level of support" – it explicitly says so just before the bold text. In this case, being an obviously bad proposal with no support none of this would apply. Being first to comment on a proposal is something else that should be avoided, but I won't go into that further :) – Gurch 22:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But it isn't an obviously bad proposal. We elect the government this way, so it's not obvious that this is a bad idea. -Amarkov moo! 22:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

text: No, you should say nothing, and ignore it, and quietly follow any new policies/guidelines that may result. You won't get at say in how things are run, but at least you won't earn the dislike of the proposal's supporters – Gurch 10:11, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  What a ludicrous page 

message: I think this page really doesn't belong in the Wikipedia namespace. With the exception of some vandalism and subsequent reverting, User:Gurch has been the only one involved with this essay. This page is just plain rediculous and is against the basic tenant of proposals on Wikipedia, or anywhere else for that matter: don't support a proposal you don't entirly agree with. This page lacks simple common sense and is a bad idea in general to have in the Wikipedia namespace where editors might think it has at least a modicum of support. So I propose that it be moved to User:Gurch/Don't object to proposals. I will let this sit here for three days and if no one objects, I will move this page to the suggested name. --Ipatrol (talk) 22:07, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I object to this proposal. (sorry, I just had to :) Seriously though, I replaced the "Essay" template with the "Essay Parody" template to make it clear that it's meant to be humorous and sarcastic. This brings it in line with other such essays like this one. Let it stay where it is. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 13:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Userfication Proposal 

message: Wikipedia:Don't object to proposals → Wikipedia:Not making enemies is more important than improving Wikipedia — Better reflects the goal of the essay, which does allow for objecting to proposals, just as long as everyone else is too. 76.116.5.48 (talk) 10:05, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
