Images by User:Kaptin1

[edit]

Personal images collection, some embarrasing for the people in it. All images collected on Chrzest równikowy. Out of scope. --Deadstar (msg) 09:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Images document what seems to be a right-of-passage ritual for Polish merchant seamen. Potentially a very useful collection, especially if more information could be supplied. Would we dream of deleting this if they were "tribespeople". Should we only depict strange customs as being performed by black people and studied by white academics who are above such things. --Simonxag 22:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commente - Maybe someone could provide an external reference to verify that this is really some established ceremony? Tewfik 18:23, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete my pictures. These pictures are my, I don't anderstand you
He (it) is in marine traditions from many generations it polish baptism (christening) marine —the preceding unsigned comment was added by Kaptin1 (talk • contribs)
  • Keep appears to be a ritual, not a prank. (I think there should be some type of appropriate categorization. Perhaps something like "Polish Marine ritual" within Category:Culture of Poland? )-- Infrogmation 00:36, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment If kept: Do the people depicted know that they are going to be used to depict "typical ritual in Polish Marines"? Personality rights template seems to be in order at least. A bit more of an explanation is needed to describe the whole ritual as well. I still have doubts about the usefulness. Deadstar (msg) 11:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment OK, I've voted to keep. But if the author can't provide evidence that the subjects are happy with the photos, perhaps we could delete some, i.e. just those pictures where identifiable individuals are being humiliated (and not just oddly dressed or having zany fun). I think that should cover our moral duty to the these people and the pictures showing embarrassing acts where the victims are not identifiable would still document this aspect of what is going on. --Simonxag 21:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC) An online translator reveals this to be the en:Line-crossing ceremony and maybe less embarrassing for the participants than it first appears. The page was already linked to by the article in the Polish Wikipedia and I've linked the English one. --Simonxag 02:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Like Deadstar and Simonxag the personality rights of the people in question should be considered and the pictures with identifiable individuals who did not give explicit permission for publication, should be deleted. ---Gwyndon 00:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kept. Ecemaml (talk to me/habla conmigo) 22:51, 23 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
