What "irregularities"? This sort of seems like a waste of time ... as if we're valuing process over product. I think the outcome of this Mfd is inevitable and it shouldn't have been brought up again. --

Of course, you could always read the DRV discussion before remarking. In this case, the debate was closed by a new editor during his first days at WP, a time during which he also involved in puppetry in other debates. Pretty serious process lapses there, I hope you'll agree.

Keep. Cmon, it's a fun part of our community. It's also an important part of the directory. You might as well delete all of the other funny pages too.

Delete per
Jimbo Wales' comment: "The pages which list userboxes, in the template namespace, make it seem as though putting these things on userpages is a normal and accepted community behavior, when in fact it is not." --

Cyde, please note that you are quoting Jimbo somewhat out of context. In the quotation you mention, "these things" does not refer to userboxes in general, but more specifically to those userboxes which are used for the purpose of political or other advocacy. This means that the templates "User Boris" and "User Two Jags" should be deleted, and in fact, I couldn't agree more. But I am not aware of any opinion expressed by Jimbo about userboxes for expressing humour. My own opinion is that humorous userboxes serve a legitimate purpose, but I agree that there are too many of them. More than 100 is excessive, but I don't see an agreeable solution.

Emphatic Keep. Why, may I ask, is this such a problem with everyone? I happen to enjoy laughing. How much space do these take, anyway?
