Blatant attacks on another country's sovereignty are disruptive and violate WP:POLEMIC. Wikipedia is not the place for aggressive political posturing, as made clear in WP:UP, and this is especially inappropriate given this effectively calls for American annexation of Canada, which is offensive to a large majority of Canadians, including myself. This is an outrageous userbox that needs to be deleted as it is most definitely {{tqq|very divisive or offensive material not related to encyclopedia editing}}.

:I made it before the Trump situation blew up as a joke, so you may delete it if you wish. I'm sorry if it offended anyone. --𝚃𝚠𝚒𝚗𝙱𝚘𝚘 (talk) 21:49, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
::I would also like to point out these userboxes (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) most of which deal with much more contentious issues than US-Canadian unionism (especially those related to Northern Ireland or Palestine) haven't seen problems despite many being years old. Should these not be nominated for deletion too? --𝚃𝚠𝚒𝚗𝙱𝚘𝚘 (talk) 18:20, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, for obvious reasons. — Sundostund mppria (talk / contribs) 13:01, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
:Keep. Geopolitics are extremely controversial and this isn't a standard applied elsewhere. Pro-Palestinian userboxen calling for the destruction of Israel are not deleted (unless they actually call for murder/deportation of Israelis), likewise for Taiwan or Northern Ireland or whatever else. Canadians aren't used to their sovereignty being up for debate, but that's the policy of the encyclopedia. I'd rather see this as a proposed amendment to WP:UP.

- Delete Wikipedia is not a political soapbox. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:02, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. Yeah, let's add something about the map-painting and flag-toting secessionist, separatist, annexationist, dissolutionist, unificationist, expansionist, colonialist, imperialist, irredentist and revanchist userboxes to WP:UP.—Alalch E. 12:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
