I'm aware that this is an anime reference but I don't think we should have userboxes that resemble death threats, even if meant as a joke.

Cute userbox, but yes, the wording is not ideal. Maybe (if the user is still active) you could ask them to reword it for something that's a bit less on the nose. WaltCip-(

Keep as there is no particular person or persons involved here. The link to "Death Note" is clearly there to indicate that it refers to a work of fiction. -

Delete per nomination. There should be no userboxes around that mention death threats in any way. IMHO, this userxbox is tasteless and immature, at best. —

Keep Death note is a fairly known work of fiction, and in any case it's linked. It isn't threatening a specific person, it's a tongue-in-cheek dig at vandals (although an argument could be made for
WP:DENY. Maybe reword it but I don't think it should be outright deleted. (

weak delete obviously not a serious threat, but creates a bad precedent for “lol just kidding” threatening userboxes, which we certainly don’t want.
