- Weak keep although I think this is dumb I don’t find it offensive enough to delete. Dronebogus ( talk) 23:56, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. There are far less inflammatory userboxes intended to criticize the UN (grouped here, among others), than this one. — Sundostund mppria ( talk / contribs) 00:58, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Merely mildly provocative political opinion SmokeyJoe ( talk) 09:25, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - I think we need to open up the debate - preferably in the form of an RfC - as to whether or not we want to focus on deleting all divisive/political userboxes, or some, or none. It seems to me that once you start casting a net on userboxes of a certain political bent, then we must also subject all other political userboxes to that same scrutiny in order to comply with WP:NPOV and WP:UBCR. -- 🌈WaltCip-( talk) 12:08, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - Because in this particular instance, I tend to fall on the side of "not disruptive enough to be deleted". Again, if we want to engage in wholesale deletion, we should start an RfC. --

- I'd be open to such an RfC, but at the moment, the relevant guidelines are Wikipedia:User pages and Wikipedia:Userboxes, which do not permit this content. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 19:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: Violation of WP:POLEMIC and WP:UBCR. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 19:39, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Not particularly inflammatory or divisive. Curbon7 ( talk) 02:01, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I don't know about this one... I am not seeing anything divisive or inflammatory. You can cite policies here, but can you show how they apply in this case? - Knowledgekid87 ( talk) 15:22, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Nothing inflammatory here. And obviously not propaganda. If someone thinks that UN is worthless, why do we even care? — CX Zoom[he/him] ( let's talk • { C• X}) 12:06, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep - Useless but not inflammatory. Robert McClenon ( talk) 07:23, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
