I managed to drop a note on the uploader's talk page over on the Japanese wiki letting that person know about the delist nom. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 04:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Replace with Nothing-tan. How is this not encyclopedic? It is perfect for moe anthropomorphism, and one of the few free pics we have to demonstrate the anime style. Keep keep keep! The aliasing can be easily fixed. And where did you get the idea that this is a self reference? We have an article on wikipedia don't we? So why can't we have a moe anthropomorphism of wikipedia? This would be a self reference if we let that influence our decision! --⁪ffroth 04:53, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the idea was not to feature self references. Also take a few minutes to read the objections to the original nom. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 05:12, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delist The aliasing is a big problem. Also, I find its enc value a little shaky; it just seems like a piece of fan-art to me. CillaИ ♦ XC 19:03, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delist Per above - the original voting was almost painful to witness in terms of the amount of ballot stuffing that went on from members of Wikiproject anime --Fir0002 21:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delist per all above. I remember cringing during the original nomination, it brought out every kawaii-screaming fan. --Bridgecross 15:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. This is borderline for me, because I like user-created content that is encyclopedic, but I vote Delist if only for the reason that it strikes me in some way as original research and self-referencing. It does illustrate the article, but the subject of the image is a non-notable invention of a Wikipedia user, created as a self-reference. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-10-22 17:36Z

Delist: I remember the original nomination as well. This always has been a disaster, per the reasons stated above. --Hetar 23:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replace with Nothing-tan It seems a shame to loose user-created attractive images like this one from FP status. This version has no Wiki-affiliation and is therefore not a meta reference. It is slightly downsampled, so aliasing is no longer a problem. As for its encyclopedic value, it could not illustrate moe anthropomorphism any more, but it remains highly encyclopedic for fan service and anime, or kawaii. de Bivort 03:31, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, replace with nothing-tan. This is actually better than wikipe-tan IMO since the no-self-reference thing was kind of touchy --⁪ffroth 20:39, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now that we have a proposed replacement, why don't we delist wikipe-tan now and let nothing-tan go through a formal FPC nom like everyone else? Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 22:20, 24 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delist without prejudice to a nomination of nothing-tan, per Jeff Dahl. Spikebrennan 00:36, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per votes on the original nom (but I'm still waiting for all the voters from some wikiproject who have never been seen on FPC before or since who voted en masse to get this promoted originally to now reappear and vote to keep it). --jjron 10:13, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment per WP:VOTE#Deletion, moving and featuring - it shouldn't matter how many 'wanted/unwanted' voters show up, decision is only decided on the strength of their arguments. (so 'per user xxx' votes don't have an impact either) Ninja neko 13:27, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
