This should be deleted. One, people hardly even use this template. Two, we shouldn't have these "user" templates because you can just put this coding down.

===Support===
#{{User|Superfiremario}} Per my proposal and [[Template Talk:Vacation|here]]
#{{User|Bop1996}} Per this proposal and the one on [[Template talk:Vacation]].
#{{User|Reddragon19k}} I say lose it and that is a per both!
#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} Per Bop
#{{User|Mariomario64}} Meh, I was thinking about making this proposal myself, but I didn't have time to. :/
#{{User|Zero777}} Per all
#{{User|Mario4Ever}} Per all.
#{{User|Nicke8}} I checked. Only ''3'' users use it. One is blocked!
#{{user|Arend}} Hardly anyone uses it. Even if the opposers win, I bet no one (of them) will use it after all.
#{{User|Mariomaster228}} Once again, it isn't necessary, per all.
#{{User|Mpeng}} Useless templates. Per all.0
#{{User|Mario Fan 123}} This shall be replaced with [[Template:Vacation]].

===Oppose===
#{{User|DKPetey99}} Having this template hurts no one! I've used it once, so why not use it again? Also, Per Kong vs Koopa's comments.
#{{User|UltraMario3000}} Multiple users are using, so why delete it when there will just be a red link?
#{{User|BoygeyDude}} Per UM3000.
#{{User|DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr.}} Per both [[User:DKPetey99|Piranha Kong]] and UM3000.
#{{User|Bowser's luma}} Deleting must be fun for you guys; what's the harm in keeping this?

===Comments===
@UM's vote: No! Only 3 users used it. Only ''3''!
{{User|Superfiremario}}
:There is absolutely '''no harm''' in keeping this template. {{User|DKPetey99}}

Since I'm going to use it, I say to keep this.

{{User:DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr./sig|No point to delete it.}}

@DKPetey: There are 3 of the thousands of users who ever used it. A waste of space, just like spam. {{User|Arend}}

@Arend: It is not spam! After this is deleted, what if nobody has it as a section of their user page and several years later somebody wants to use it again? I see this template as helpful. Fine then, if this is deleted, then the [[Template:Reminder|reminder template]] is useless since we can just copy the code on an user talk page. The [[Template:Lastwarn|last warning template]] is useless since we can just copy the code on an user talk page. And so on. {{User|DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr.}}
:Answer this question for me: Why do we really need this template? The argument I have is that people can just say '''Vacationing at Florida. Coming back in a week'''. They don't need a template, they can just use bold text, or use a status box. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 09:55, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

A template should be easier to notice. Besides, the Status box is not allowed for a subpage.

{{User:DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr./sig|Nobody can make me change my vote.}}
:Hardly a good reason to keep it. If you want to make it easier to notice, use some of the less common codes like the color codes. If people just do this, they might learn about these rarer codes. And you can always put the coding for a status box on your userpage. --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 10:10, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

Try countering my arguement.
{{User:DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr./sig|Just because people aren't using it does not mean that it has to be deleted.}} Besides, this means that we have to delete every other template. The [[Template:Warning|warning template]], the [[Template:Block|blocked user template]], etc. only because we can just copy the code. P.S. Color Coding is a lot more complicated.
:You didn't even counter ''my'' argunent. And color codes are easy to do. It's just {{color|like this|red}}. How is that hard? --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 09:23, 22 May 2011 (EDT)

I give up arguing. I just dislike the fact that the supporters said that this is useless.
{{User|DK and Diddy Kong vs Bowser and Bowser Jr.}}

Yes. This {{color|Superfiremario|orange}}
{{unsigned|Superfiremario}}
}}

==Bring Back Template:Gone==
{{TPP}}
This template harmed no one. The fact we deleted it was just weird. Just because three people use it, doesn't mean it must be deleted. When people retire, they'll probably use this. I just want this back. Since Template:Vacation still exists, so should this!

===Bring Back===
#{{User|DKPetey99}} Again, no harm in having this template.
#{{User|UltraMario3000}} Per DeeKayPeeNinety-Nine.
#{{User|BoygeyMario}} Per All! :)
#{{User|YoshiGo99}} Per proposer.

===Stay Deleted===
#{{User|Mario4Ever}} The vacation template works well enough for absences, and if and when a user retires, he or she can just announce it on his or her user page or talk page. No need for a template in order to do that.
#{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} My reason still stands for the deletion of this template
#{{User|Zero777}} per supporters in previous proposal.
#{{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} You've given zero new reasons as to why this template should be restored so per the original proposal this is a useless template nobody ever used it so why am i to think people will start using it now
