(and the png version, File:Jumping_Wikipe-tan.png) Serves no educational purpose Nikkimaria (talk) 03:42, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Like all Wikipe-tan images, can be used to illustrate project-related tasks. This one depicts her with a broom, and is suitable for illustrating cleanup-related tasks. The fact that it is not currently being used for this purpose, only in galleries, is immaterial. Dcoetzee (talk) 05:53, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Any project that would use this image to illustrate cleanup tasks would need to have its head examined. --JN466 11:36, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Serves no educational purpose. Using it internally would be highly inappropriate, since it carries the risk of creating the impression of a sexist working environment which may deter some (albeit a minority) while images that offend none are available. We would not wish to use any unnecessary image which might for cultural reasons, or because of perceived sexism or insensitivity to child-exploitation images, serve to exclude sensitive minorities or discourage participation. NOTCENSORED applies only to content, and does not excuse insensitivities in the name of liberalism. Even if you are not personally bothered by this, anyone who can't see that the image of a young girl with bare midriff and crotch showing may raise questions with some participants isn't being terribly sensitive. The image is unnecessary. We know we have a problem with perceived sexism,--Scott MacDonald (talk) 17:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- This opinion would apply to essentially any image of Wikipe-tan. It's not really within our authority to delete all of them. Moreover, claiming Wikipe-tan is inherently sexist somehow also overlooks a lot of her female fans. Dcoetzee (talk) 05:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I didn't say she was "inherently sexist" - actually it is impossible for any image to be "inherently" anything. I said it is not unreasonable to presume that some will perceive this image as indicative of sexism. And we know that Wikimedia is often (and recently) accused of being a sexist environment. I'd say that it is more important to the project to combat any perceived sexism than to satisfy female fans. Wikimedia isn't a fan club.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 12:36, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- If we take the positions that images that can be perceived as indicative of sexism result in a sexist enviroment then given the number of images that commons has that can be perceived as indicative of sexism it is statisticaly improbable in the extreme that the deletion of any one image will make a measurable difference.Geni (talk) 01:02, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

- Keep Per commons policy it is in use outside of the user and talk namespace. If you have a problem please take it up with en,fi,ko,ms,th,uk and zh. Commons does not have the authority to short circuit those projects local decisions in this case.Geni (talk) 18:37, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- I've put forward a valid argument for deletion. You respond with lawyering, waving at "policy", and a "fuck you" demand that I go and take it up in six languages I don't speak. Makes me think you've no response to my points.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 20:05, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- You haven't put forward a valid argument for deletion. Certianly not one in line with commons policy. You need to rememeber that commons need to maintain a reasonable working relationship with other projects and thus deleting in us images just because people might not like them is not a viable approach.Geni (talk) 21:05, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- It would be better to engage with my argument rather than just say "invalid". As for the rest, projects can (and do) host various things themselves that commons declines, and to say "because project x makes a dumb decision, Commons can't do otherwise" is to make this project the lowest Commons denominator. Quite absurd - think for yourselves.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 22:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- It's absurd to think that there should be a project whose job is to store images for other projects? I don't see why at all.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:13, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think that's what Scott said. Commons does not host fair-use media, for example, the projects do. Any project really wedded to this image could host it internally. From what I see, it is only used in the sort of completist Wikipe-tan galleries that feature every Wikipe-tan image ever made; either in pages on Wikipe-tan itself, or on user pages featuring such galleries. [1][2] Educational value: nil; potential to piss off and repulse female contributors: considerable. Good equation? --JN466 13:07, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- It's the logical conclusion from his position. The point of commons is to host images for other projects. As long as the image remains in use in the way it currently is it falls within commons's remit to host it. If projects cannot trust us to do that they have no reason to work with commons which would be a very negative outcome.Geni (talk) 14:01, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- It may be logical, but is still absurd and lacks all sense of proportion. Deleting a poorly-drawn Wikipe-tan that harms the project's actual educational goals will not stop these projects from working with Commons. The potential harm of this image to the foundation goals in terms of the identity it projects, and the effect of that identity on projects' gender balance, is immeasurably greater than the putative benefit. I don't think any significant content contributor will miss this image, which is poorly drawn and in even poorer taste. --JN466 15:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- To delete an in use image is to say to projects that if you don't want stuff deleted you must not use commons. Which is a position commons could indeed take but it is not within the remit of this deletion request to do so.Geni (talk) 01:06, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sounds like Wiki-lawyering to me. --JN466 15:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Trying to work with other projects in a clear consensual way is Wiki-lawyering to you?--Prosfilaes (talk) 19:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

- Delete - not useful for educational purposes. The idea that it can be used for cleanup makes no sense - she has a broom, but does not appear to be doing anything related to cleaning. Also as per ScottMacDonald. LadyofShalott (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, per Geni - it's in use on multiple projects, it's in scope. If you don't speak the languages concerned, this is why sites have embassies. BarkingFish (talk) 21:41, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep We support other wikis. That is an essential component of our mission. To delete it as out of scope is to miss the forest for the trees.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:46, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Except it's used on other wikis only on the translations of Wikipedia:WP:Wikipe-tan and its derivative pages, and only in a general gallery of Wikipe-tan images. Nikkimaria (talk) 22:56, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- So what? Why do we need to be spending our time judging how it's used on other sites? In any case, it's in use on w:en:User:Mtmelendez and per "An otherwise non-educational file does not acquire educational purpose solely because it is in use on a user page (the "User:" namespace) of another project, but by custom the uploading of small numbers of images (e.g. of yourself) for use on a personal user page of another project is allowed."--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:07, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- The first part of what you quoted seems quite relevant - this image is not educational. Nor is it personal, despite its presence on a user page. My point in bringing up how it's used on other wikis was simply to show that to delete it does not undermine the mission of supporting other wikis - none of the wikis it's used on has a non-educational mission. 23:35, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- I guess I can't stop you from vandalizing a dozen Wikis at once, but the fact that someone can't use an image from Commons safely on Wikipedia is massively disruptive to them and ultimately to us.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Wow. Finding some day that my fifteenth-favourite knickers-and-crotch comics image has disappeared from my user page results in massive disruption of the foundation's mission. Woo-hee! And there I thought the Foundation felt the gender gap was disrupting that mission. Noooooo, they have it all wrong! User:Wöalsdkjf being able to have his daily look at Wikipe-tan's crotch, that's what's keeping everything together around here. --JN466 13:15, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- JN is reminded to assume good faith, and be civil with other contributors. If you believe removing this image would not create a significant disruption to important project goals, then say that. Dcoetzee (talk) 13:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- I believe removing this image would not create a significant disruption to important project goals. It is an exceedingly sad state of affairs to even have to say that, and for contributors to not be able to recognise this for themselves. On the other hand, the presence of this image does cause some disruption to important project goals, in presenting the project as a boys' club and alienating women contributors, of whom we have far too few. Women contribute content to Foundation projects that men and boys will not, in many areas that are actually important to an educational project aiming to present the sum of human knowledge. They, and thus these content areas, are underrepresented. That is important. This image is not. --JN466 13:28, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- The image isn't that easy to find and frankly in terms of matching a traditional boys club the size of en's millhist project is far more of a problem. Do you propose to delete that?Geni (talk) 01:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Milhist is a bona fide content area. This image is not; it's just the equivalent of a pin-up on the club-house wall. It's the sort of sexist thing that was tolerated in workplaces thirty years ago, but those times are over; except in Wikim/pedia, it seems. --JN466 15:01, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

- Keep files on Commons do not need to be in use - only about(!) 35 % of our files are in use in article namespace. Leave away the educational - Wikipede-tan simply belongs to our projects. Delete copyvios instead. ;) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 23:38, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete I have to diasgree: 35 % is a myth, your number, last time you claimed 1 %. So this is not helpful. "Leave away the educational", yes, so commons can be abused as dumb database. Hence delete. --Yikrazuul (talk) 18:30, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I imagine new numbers everytime - especially for you. Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 22:23, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Delete I fail to understand the purpose of this image, other than fan service. Elocina (talk) 16:44, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Not only can it not serve any valid purpose outside Wikimedia, it's a poor quality image. I wouldn't even have known that was her without the title. Daniel Case (talk) 17:05, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep
One one hand it is a wikipe-tan image and where is the line drawn on what you keep for images and what you discard, but on the other hand it is of poor quality and the anime/manga project already has an image of wikipe-tan using a mop that is in use in more areas of wikipedia than this one is. This looks to be a fan made image of some sort and not taken from orginal artwork of wikipe-tan.- Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:27, 24 March 2011 (UTC)- You could drawn the line for keeping so to keep images that people were using.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- After seeing how this is unfolding I am opting for keep on this one, it does not violate the scope and as has been said is in use on multi wiki projects. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 14:05, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
- You could drawn the line for keeping so to keep images that people were using.--Prosfilaes (talk) 23:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep The picture is in use, therefore in scope. We can't editorialise our fellow projects as explicitly written in COM:SCOPE. Everything else (e.g. quality of the picture, touching care about people, who can be offended by this drawing of a fully clothed woman with a broom) is pretty irrelevant. Do you want to delete this picture? It's easy -- remove all its project space usages, and then (if local projects will not object) it could be deleted here after a discussion. Trycatch (talk) 02:23, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Comment File:Wikipe-tan_in_swimwear.jpg was restored. --Saibo (Δ) 01:10, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Why's that relevant here? This discussion has nothing really to do with that one. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- oh - my mistake. Sorry, I thought both are Wikipetans and were accused of being "no educational". ;) Cheers --Saibo (Δ) 02:20, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep - the image is used by some and does not need to be used on non-talk/non-user pages otherwise a lot more images would be deleted solely for this reason. That some people might get their jolly off with this is not relevant here since there is nothing illegal. There's much more sexualized non-wikipe-tan images on commons.Jinnai (talk) 05:27, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep This image violates no rules, guidelines or wikiquette principles. There is no reason to delete this image--SamOdin (talk) 09:59, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep Although a poor quality image, both versions of the image are in use on a non talk/user page which is enough for it to be kept per COM:SCOPE. If the nominator wishes to remove the image because the quality of the images is too poor to be of any use, then they should first make that argument on the individual project pages first. TheFarix (talk) 12:16, 26 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep per Geni. Policy is there for a reason, deletion of the image used in many Wikipedia projects would undermine credibility of Commons as a reliable and culture-neutral repository of files used in various Wikimedia projects. Also the policy of automatically keeping all free media used on other projects protects Commons from useless distraction of resources: thanks to it, we really don't have to painstakingly evaluate artistic or moral value (in other words, censor) of every file on Commons as long as it is used on Wikimedia projects, and we should Keep it that way. --M5 (talk) 11:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep The arguments for the removal of images, make me facepalm. --Zimak (talk) 13:11, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- I can assure you that's mutual. :) --JN466 14:57, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep potentially usable free image Alex Bakharev (talk) 10:54, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
- Comment on usefulness of the image. It is used on many wikipedia projects which should be enough to prove it useful, but there are also other uses. The file is editable svg, which makes it perfect for creating derivative images: try to open it in Inkscape and you'll see that it consist of well-separated objects which you can easily use in other illustration, e.g. broom, angry woman's head, etc. You can easily remove puzzle pieces from her hair or (less easily) try to dress her modestly. Most of such uses will not raise any concerns of "creating bad impression of the project's working environment", whatever that means. So, file has value not only by virtue of being used on other Wikimedia projects but also for its potential of creating free and high-quality derivative content. --M5 (talk) 06:55, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep I like this picture --Askarmuk (talk) 14:10, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- And that is a good reason to keep because...? Nikkimaria (talk) 17:41, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- Because apparently any policy based reasoning is wiki-lawyering, and most of the deletes boil down to "I don't like it".--Prosfilaes (talk) 18:28, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
- And because the nominator's reason "Serves no educational purpose" seems wiredrawn (fictional?) for me. Sorry for possibly bad English im not good in it. --Askarmuk (talk) 18:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- So you think this image does serve an educational purpose? And what might that be? Nikkimaria (talk) 20:31, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- It's in use; by definition, by policy, that means that it has educational purpose.--Prosfilaes (talk) 22:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep: Either we delete all wikipe-tan images or neither of them. The argument here can't be based on sexism, at least not in a descripive way, since nearly 100 % of Commons' images of women depict sexism in any way. What the supporters mean might be described more correctly by chauvinism or misogynism. Yes, I am using a broad definition of sexism which in itself migh be called biased – but so do you. You picked a single image that apparently displeases you for some reason. If you were more honest, you would admit that it is because of the partial nudity, not because of any form of sexism. Women dress like that, they do it regularly and most of them do so willingly. Would you delete a caricature of, say, Jimbo in his pants and shirts waving a broom (considering he's okay with the caricature which we can assume of Wikipe-Tan)? Would you delete a picture of Wikipe-tan dressed like a nun? Probably not, because you could not come up with misogyny or any other form of sexism without sounding very akward. I could argue as well that you are deleting images that show women as an essential part of this project. The broom is a poor point, too, you would have to delete the other Broom-Tans as well. "Quality" is a poor argument: Who are you to judge? Can you do better? For my own part, I consider this to be a fairly well drawn picture. I have seen better, sure, but I have seen far worse as well. My own drawings probably could not match this one.
Now that I have said quite a lot about your points, here are mine:- This is an image of a project's mascot. It can be used in various projects or for the identification with the project.
- The mascot is waving a broom. Cleaning up is a project-related task; it is therefore suitable for various cleanup projects.
- The image contains a certain degree of irony (just in case you cannot see it). It reflects the rudeness, the stubbornness and the anger inherent in most of the cleanup or deletion threads. Thinking about it, it would make a perfect illustration for this one.
- The image is less kitschy than all the other images of children's age Wikipe-tans(not sure if you could call them chibis) in which you could see some kind of pedophile tendencies as well (e.g. swim suit pictures).
- To conclude: This is a deletion request for the reason of incomfortability with the way a young woman dresses. I do not think that it is about sexism. And even if it was, it would be very picky. The arguments pointed out in favor of deletion sound heavily biased and personally motivated to me, they cannot be put on an objective basis, since we do not have objective indicators for sexism or quality (and we obviously do not consent on this issue). However, regarding utilitarist aspects I cannot see a reason for deleting this one.--Toter Alter Mann (talk) 09:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
- Delete "Commons does not have the authority to short circuit those projects local decisions in this case". Well of course you do. That is what commons does. Isn't it? I can go on the English Wikipedia and convince 27 admins that the image should be deleted, but it won't do any good because it's out of their reach. Isn't it? @Prosfilaes "We support other Wikis" - um, no you don't. I mean, you do in some ways, but in other ways, as when you deliberately choose to host images, out of our reach, that can only be used to degrade, harm, and cause mischief on the Wikis, quite the opposite. Using values clarification, which focuses on what an entity actually does rather than than what they publicly proclaim to value, I would have to say from experience that part of the mission of Commons is, de facto, to assist trolls and idiots in causing grief and annoyance to the Wikis. And if you don't like being called out on that, you could, I don't know, stop doing it maybe. I actually prefer the type of statement (which I have also seen) "We have our mission, and how that affects the other Wikis is of supreme indifference to us." At least that's honest. Incidentally, if some troll were insert this image into an article - as has actually been done with File:Wikipe tan wearing a bikini by Kasuga39.png, so don't say it's not possible - then according to some Commons folks that would be an additional reason to keep the image ("It's used in an article!"), right? Does that not perhaps say that your criteria might, uh, need a little adjusting? As to the general argument that "we can't make this decision, we are bound by our rules" - please. We are not robots here. Let's do the right thing, people. Herostratus (talk) 02:20, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- By the same standard, one might claim that part of the mission of Wikipedia is to be a home for trolls and idiots, so we're helping Wikipedia. That would be stupid, but that is the standard you're using. It's a lie to say that images hosted here are out of the reach of other Wikis; the individual Wikis have a blacklist that can stop images from being used on their Wiki. If this is not blacklisted on the Wiki, apparently they aren't concerned about it. Yes, a troll can stick it into an article; I'm much more concerned about one of these 95 MB images being dropped into an article, or one of the several pictures of genitalia that are actually get used to vandalize and quickly get added to blacklists.
- We are not robots. It turns out that the concept of using laws and rules to promote a rational fair society predate the concept of robots, however.--Prosfilaes (talk) 05:53, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- You likely misunderstood Herostratus. "Trolls" and "idiots" he talk about are not vandals or something, but simply regular editors he disagree with. Use of File:Wikipe tan wearing a bikini by Kasuga39.png in w:Fan service article was supported by a consensus of editors, Herostratus tried to remove the picture, but unsuccessfully. So, basically, the policies of Commons don't help him in fight with his opponents in Wikipedia ("trolls and idiots") -- of course, it's inadmissible. Trycatch (talk) 09:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
- I stand by my characterization. We occasionally get unwelcome swarms at certain articles - certain flamflam religions, certain fringe theories, certain bunco gurus, that sort of thing. Dispersing these folks is part of the job of being an Wikipedia editor. It's tiresome and we prefer to spend our energy actually improving the encyclopedia (I know I do) but somebody has to do it.

- I stand by my characterization. We occasionally get unwelcome swarms at certain articles - certain flamflam religions, certain fringe theories, certain bunco gurus, that sort of thing. Dispersing these folks is part of the job of being an Wikipedia editor. It's tiresome and we prefer to spend our energy actually improving the encyclopedia (I know I do) but somebody has to do it.

- You likely misunderstood Herostratus. "Trolls" and "idiots" he talk about are not vandals or something, but simply regular editors he disagree with. Use of File:Wikipe tan wearing a bikini by Kasuga39.png in w:Fan service article was supported by a consensus of editors, Herostratus tried to remove the picture, but unsuccessfully. So, basically, the policies of Commons don't help him in fight with his opponents in Wikipedia ("trolls and idiots") -- of course, it's inadmissible. Trycatch (talk) 09:11, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

- Clearly stained glass windows are 3d? That depends how you look at them, and if you look at any painting in the same way it's 3d too, just a bit thinner!!! Stained glass is mentioned from one source as something that can be protected as "artistic craftsmanship" and if this window is merely artistic craftsmanship then it's OK to photograph it. Looking at the photo of the window, I'd say that the thing is a full blown graphic work whose medium happens to be glass (the detail isn't enough to tell but it may well have been made by painting on glass). I'm not a lawyer, but I think this sort of image would get copyright protection without any recourse to claims of "artistic craftsmanship" such as would be needed for art jewelery or decorative stained glass. --Simonxag (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

It is disputed whether this is "photographic works" or not and I therefore change a speedy nomination to a regular DR.

The author on flickr is not the photographer of the photo. Essential source is missing to examine the copyright status of the original photo. Martin H. (talk) 15:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
I think I may have found where the original source of the photo is from. I changed the licensing information and I have found this link: http://www.doctormacro.com/Movie%20Star%20Pages/Day,%20Laraine.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jennie2011 (talk • contribs)
- What you found is the original source on the internet. That site indicates that it's hosting scans of movie stills and publicity photos--the people at the site don't own the photos either. They may not respect copyright, but here on Commons we need permission from the original copyright holder unless an exception applies. It's hard to tell if any exceptions apply since we don't know where it was scanned from, so we don't know where to look to see if the copyright was renewed or this photo carried a copyright notice. We need to know that so people can have faith that Commons did our due diligence in assessing copyright on the images we host. Given these doubts, delete.--Chaser (talk) 23:09, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

- You mean: The author is not unknown. A signed portrait is not of unknown authorship only because the viewer does not know whom to ascribe the signature. The image is not licensed under the claimed CC license. Image of known authorship, unless the author is identified and evidence is given that the author died >70 years (or for a Dominican Republic work died >50 years ago? dont know) the image is also not arguably in the public domain and can not be uploaded to Commons.

The copyright status of this image is unclear. The uploader didn't state any information about the author or original source other than "Google". So without a valid source, there's no proof that the author died before 1944 or that he remained unknown. Note: Pieter Kuiper added "postcard" as a source, but provided no source for this information. The only postcard I can find is this one, but it seems to be only a cropped version of this image. -- Kam Solusar (talk) 17:02, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

- I now managed to dig up the postcard that I had seen from google's cache. It is obviously not a drawing, and as the near-identical photo on your postcard shows (it is not a cropped version), it is a simple-photo, without personal artistic expression. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 11:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

- Delete Why don't we just completely delete Wikipe-tan entirely? For those of us who are not female, Japanese or otaku, she is not a representative figure at all. Better we force ourselves to come up with a new, more inclusive avatar. Daniel Case (talk) 23:07, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- If there is to be a bulk deletion of all the wikipetan artwork then it should probably be discussed on the village pump, rather than on a single image deletion page. Arguments presented here should be specific to this image, and were I to close this particular deletion I don't think I'd be at all moved by the argument that the image it not representative— no single image will be. Also, those proposing to delete all the images will probably need to suggest a process for replacing the cases where the images are utilized in articles in an orderly manner. You may also want to focus on some of the more overtly offtopic/sexualized images e.g. File:Wikipe_tan_wearing_a_bikini_by_Kasuga39.png. Cheers. --Gmaxwell (talk) 00:52, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

- We need not be so rigid when it comes to an image that fundamentally—and negatively—impacts our community's image in the greater community and among its own members. Daniel Case (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep -- Sexistic is an opinion and not mine. This image violates no rules, guidelines or wikiquette principles. Several supporters of deletion indicate general resentment of character pictured in this image. There has been no general discussion on deleting images of said character and this is not the place to start such a discussion. Concluding, I see no reason to delete in the arguments presented. Kind regards, Taketa (talk) 08:17, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- I submit that, unlike a number of other images we (and I mean the Commons "we") have had these conversations about, this is an image with no utility to anyone outside of Wikimedia projects, and not useful in a practical way within them. Its use is purely decorative, and decorative in a way that a significant portion of the community (not just women) find objectionable. Therefore our usual standards of discussion do not apply. Daniel Case (talk) 19:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep I agree with Gmaxwel's comment above. Personally I don't see how this image, Wikipe-tan in general, or most Wikipe-tan images are 'sexistic', horridly offensive, or anything. This may have something to do with my associations with this type of figure, but I don't well see how others do. Some have these opinions, some don't, as the creator of this image pointed out. And a discussion on whether to delete certain types of Wikipe-tan images shouldn't occur at DR, and should encompass all of those seen as offensive (in fact, a derivative is nominated here, but not the widely used original). —innotata 21:27, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep -- 'Sexistic' is a made-up word. Therefore, it does not have a definition by which this image can be fairly judged by one and all. Currently everyone is judging the merits of this image based on what they believe 'sexistic' to mean. It cannot be used as a reason for deletion. 69.106.4.187 13:22, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

- Keep - There is absolutely no reason to delete this specific image. On an unrelated note, I don't see any reasons for completely deleting Wikipe-tan. It is wikipedia's most well-known mascot and very recognizable. - 91.153.24.202 15:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)
- Keep, no valid arguments provided by nom. Btw, being a female, I see nothing sexistic here. -- deerstop. 11:18, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete "Sexistic" is an not a valid rational for deletion and is contrary to COM:NOTCENSORED. However, this image is the same image as File:Wikipe-tan's past, now and future.png except without the transparency, thus rendering it technically inferior. This this is a derived image which is technically inferior to the original image, it creates a valid reason for deletion. TheFarix (talk) 15:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- The difference is the removal of the text on the original image, which makes the image less usefull. Taketa (talk) 16:38, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- Delete per The Farix's comment. I was going to say Keep, but given that their is a superior version out there, this one should be deleted. This is not an endorsement of the rationale laid out by the nominator, but solely for technical reasons.Jinnai (talk) 16:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

- Keep This is a legitimate and useful modification of File:Wikipe-tan's past, now and future.png: namely, it has the Latin text removed, making it more suitable for the projects in languages that do not use the Latin alphabet. The only reason it's not in use yet is that it was only uploaded recently. As for the "sexistic" comment, I find to to be absurd. How could an image of a baby, a young girl and a woman dressed in old-fashioned attire and reading books be considered "sexistic"? Or are you assuming that all Wikipedia readers have a stocking fetish and thus manage to read some sort of nonexistent sexualized element in this innocent image? — Tetromino (talk) 21:24, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
- Strongly keep — This image has nothing to do with sexism or anything like that. On the contrary, it symbolizes evolution of the Wikipedia from its early days to the full-grown Encyclopedia. Moreover, i believe accusing Wikipedia mascot and thus all the community of being sexist highly contradicts to all the principles of good faith that we always regarded as a rule.

I dont think the Picasa user koolguy716 is the photographer. Looking at their profile shows a whole lot of albums grabbed from various sources. Martin H. (talk) 15:27, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
- Comment This Picasa user has a treasure trove of copyright violations waiting to happen, but this one just might be one of the few that are legitimate. The album has many similar photos from the same situation. All the EXIF data is there. Most of the other albums are clearly random grabs of images off the Internet and lack EXIF data. Not so for the ones in that album. But this appears to be from the only album that could be remotely the user's own work. – Adrignola talk 01:20, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
- The picasa search suggests, that you can say the same about some other Picasa user who has the same images in an album, who also has a lot of copyvios in his other albums (not freely licensed, luckily) and who has, contrary to koolguy716, a whole lot of photos taken with the same camera, Canon PowerShot A470, from other events. Thats something koolguy716 not has, therefore I dont think that this album is an exception from his bad Picasa uploads. --Martin H. (talk) 15:20, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Dubuffet works
[edit]Jean Dubuffet is a french painter and sculptor who died in 1985. According to the copyright laws, his work will be in PD in 2056… Pictures of his works are not free and can't be present on Commons, except if they are taken in countries where fredom of panorama exists. In my opinion, the following pictures are not covered by FOP and should be deleted:
- Sculptures in France
- File:Caisse-des-depots-entrance.jpg
- File:Vitry Musée DSCN1780.JPG
- File:Tour aux figures de jean dubuffet.jpg
- Sculptures in Japan
- Painting
