 * 1) Ken is annoying. That doesn't mean he needs his own template. Use the regular sock template instead, it works well. All this does is give Ken incentive to sock more. 18:08, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 2) Pointless. Christopher (talk) 18:19, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 3) From orbit. Helena Bonham Carter (talk) 18:53, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 4) From orbit? It's the only way to make sure. — Leucippus Talk 20:12, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Fuckin' A! Helena Bonham Carter (talk) 23:01, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

 * 4) Revert, block, move on. Delete user page if the troll does create a user page. Don't waste time with page creation, please, it only feeds the troll more. 00:12, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * 5) For the reasons stated above. 00:37, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

Goat
It's going to be a hassle to remove all those pages of those socks if this template gets deleted 19:54, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * It’s not that much of a hassle, and Sirius could get Inferno Bot to do it automatically. Christopher (talk) 20:10, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Correct, I can detemplate it and remove stuff if needed pretty easily. 21:40, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Why does this site keep creating pages that ultimately get nominated for deletion??? Also, does anyone know when the second episode of the Goomba revolution will be released?????? Unclescrooge (talk) 22:33, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Problem solved
I've turned this template into a redirect to Template:Banned. This means that we no longer give undue attention to this troll by giving him his own template but don't have to remove it from all the pages it's on already. Spud (talk) 23:23, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Ideally the userpages should be deleted. Red link those socks, please. 00:13, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm inclined to agree. What benefit is there from marking the userpages of sockpuppets that make 1 or 2 insta-reverted edits? 𝒮𝑒𝓇𝑒𝓃𝑒   talk  00:16, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, it would be neater. I think the redirecting is fine as a quick fix, but if Sirius is still motivated to do the bot-driven deletion rampage, that would be ideal for both templates. --ApooftGnegiol (talk) 00:36, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It's better than a specific Ken or Mike template, but it still results in the creation of a fuckload of redundant userpages for no obvious purpose. Helena Bonham Carter (talk) 00:54, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I’ve deleted all the transclusions manually, mikeysock will have to wait. Christopher (talk) 07:55, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I didn't realize that you wanted all the user pages it was on to be deleted as well. Spud (talk) 13:19, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
