Image violates WP:NPOV, green and red are colours often used to represent good and bad things respectively. For example on Wikipeda accepted/resolved = green, declined/unresolved = red, the images used in warnings are usually red, etc. The image implies that a lower age of consent is worse. Guest9999 (talk) 18:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The image certainly does need to be updated and it would do mo harm to change the colours, cannot someone create a new image before we delete this one. Thanks, SqueakBox 18:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. My own impression is that the Roy G. Biv order of the color spectrum was simply applied to age order here. The color black, which has more negative connotations to my perception, is used in places like Saudi Arabia where extra-marital sex with anyone of any age is actually illegal. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 19:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Personally I am more concedrned about it being out of date, eg see Ages of Consent in Central America but that isn't a reason to delete so keep. Thanks, SqueakBox 19:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, i see no reason to get rid of this image —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.46.104 (talk) 05:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-encyclopedic, low-quality image currently being used solely on the user's page, which is in turn up for deletion. jonny-m t 07:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with userpage. Rationale is on MfD discussion. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 09:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image is actually a PNG with an SVG extension (as evidenced by the broken source code). A proper SVG is available on Commons with the same file name. TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 08:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This image didn't exist when I made it and uploaded it. I also used software that was supposed to convert files to svg but apparently the software just renames png files??? Thanks for uploading a correct version to Commons. I'm assuming that since they are both the same name that when this one is deleted, the related articles will automatically start using the Commons version? ALLSTARecho 15:45, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that is correct. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 05:45, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I approve of this deletion. It was uploaded solely to showcase the Pedobear meme, and since that article is gone it has no reason to stay on Wikipedia. I'd like to thank HisSpaceResearch for combing through my contributions. Hopefully he can find more things to delete. Hermione is a dude (talk) 23:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As stated by uploader, it is a photographic reproduction of a 2D work by the Australia Zoo. Unless the zoo explicitly releases the rights to the sign or licenses it, I would consider it non-free. I don't think fair use applies to Turtle and honestly it's not of great encyclopedic value, probably being a tertiary source drawing from other citable sources.

non-free image, does not add significantly to readers' understanding Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, does add significantly to readers' understanding. - Mafia Expert (talk) 18:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not even a caption, let alone critical commentary. Violates WP:NFCC#8. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 18:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Caption has been added, giving timeframe of ad and show title. The ad contributes to an understanding that, during the 1930s and 1940s, Cantor was one of the biggest stars on radio. Pepso2 (talk) 04:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, does add significantly to readers' understanding and that is explained in the textbox below the image. - Mafia Expert (talk) 18:32, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no critical commentary, commentary in caption only tangentially related to the article. Violates WP:NFCC#8. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 18:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Demonstrates how Eddie Cantor's huge popularity was a factor in the rise of celebrity endorsements and how it happened outside the conventional channels of newspapers, magazines and billboards, as detailed in the caption: "One of 12 Eddie Cantor caricatures by Frederick J. Garner for a 1933 Brown & Bigelow advertising card set. The Cantor cards were purchased in bulk as a direct-mail item by such businesses as auto body shops, funeral directors, dental laboratories and vegetable wholesale dealers. These businesses then mailed a single Cantor card each month for a year to their selected special customers." A selection of the National Portrait Gallery, it shows how Cantor expressed stylishness and humor, which the drab Cantor photo at top does not. Pepso2 (talk) 20:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your claims about celebrity endorsements contributing to his success are unsourced original research and don't justify the image's inclusion. Calliopejen1 (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image that contributes nothing unique to the articles where it's used. The free image Image:Nirmal Hriday 1.jpg already shows us what the inside of the Home for the Dying looks like. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 17:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Does add useful information, is very different from the other image. - Mafia Expert (talk) 18:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What useful information not shown in the other image? Certainly nothing discussed in either article where it's used. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 18:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

image could be replaced with a free photograph of the subject Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Could be replaced, but why? Image shows artist's style of line art and his sense of humor. It establishes the importance of subject in the cartooning community with text showing that he was selected for inclusion in a series of "famous" cartoonists. Such would not be evident in a photo. As a self-portrait, it provides an insight into the subject which a camera image cannot. The picture has additional information in that it shows one of the artist's cartoon characters.

- This item is not on display - it serves as the equivilent of the colours of the Royal Gurkha Rifles, and is therefore kept as an artifact by the regiment, not for public display - Hammersfan 15/01/08, 22.20 GMT —Preceding comment was added at 22:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-Free image that is easily replaceable after product is released. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should not be deleted until after product launch date, as of now it is irreplaceable. Johndbritton (talk) 19:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Irreplaceable refers to something that is permanently and irrevocably irreplaceable (ex: a photo of an accident). This product will be mass produced and recreated a million times over. You cannot recreate an accident (technically you can, but who will?). Let's wait for a free image taken by a Wikipedian who cannot wait to get an MacBook Air. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We ran into the same problem when the iPhone and iPod classic were released. It's a non-free image of a product that has free images available for it. -- MacAddct  1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 22:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep until product launch date. It's not reasonable to expect a free alternative to be available yet, because the product hasn't shipped yet--meaning that the only people with access to it to photograph are at Apple. So, I think it would be fair use to use until someone could get their hands on one to photograph. -- The Last User Name Ever (talk) 15:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
