Dose this specifically describe Secular humanism, or any form of modern humanism, including Spiritual humanism? Canadianism 01:54, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I had a broad category of users on my mind when making this category. Every philosophy emphasizing human flourishing, and optimistic about individual capacity is humanist to me.Larix 05:37, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the humanist userbox deleted? Does that mean that having a humanist userbox is a bad thing?! Anyway, there still is secular humanist userbox, so why not have humanist userbox? --Arny 08:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no secular humanist userbox currently: check {{User secular humanist}}, it's a deleted page. The only reason you can see it on the "secular humanist" category is because a subst'd version of it was posted there prior to the deletion. It was deleted by User:Improv as part of a campaign against userboxes that express an opinion or point of view; see Wikipedia:Userboxes/Religion, most of which have been eliminated. If you object to or support its deletion, feel free to say so on the discussion page at Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#All_of_Wikipedia:Userboxes.2FReligion. -Silence 09:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, subst'd it is. Something still doesn't feel right here... that link is for the religion-userboxes debate, which doesn't include humanism. Humanism is under the Beliefs category, which was voted for undeletion before, yet humanism isn't undeleted. And there isn't any other request for undeletion which concerns this userbox, as far as I've seen. Someone, please? Of all things, I believe anything that has to do with humanism should be the last thing to get deleted. I mean, how could any symbol of humanism ever harm or offend anyone? Except war criminals, prehaps :) --Arny 11:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
