*'''Oppose''' My problem with it is the self-reference. I would support such an illustration without the self-reference. — <small>[[User:Brian0918|<b><font color=black>BRIAN</font></b>]][[User_talk:Brian0918|<font color=gray>0918</font>]] • 2008-06-26 19:30Z</small> |

* '''Oppose'''. After reading the article and examining the other images I don't think this is a good example of [[Moe anthropomorphism]]. It doesn't add much to the article. Technical quality aside, it's just not a great image.[[User:Dwayne Reed|Dwayne Reed]] ([[User talk:Dwayne Reed|talk]]) 19:34, 26 June 2008 (UTC) |

Wikipe-tan
- Reason
- Wikipe-tan (ウィキペたん, Uikipetan) is one of the personifications of Wikipedia. The "-tan" in "Wikipe-tan" is a hypocoristic suffix, in the form of a Japanese title. Like the OS-tans, she is a product of moe anthropomorphism.
Meets all requirements and has fixed previous anti-aliasing concerns that caused the delisting. Wikipe-tan has been featured in printed media in at least four separate occasions:
- gamesTM, a UK gaming magazine, used an image of Wikipe-tan as an illustration of maid cafés (p 30, Issue 48).
- On June 15 2007 the German newspaper Dresdner Neueste Nachrichten (circulation ca. 31 000) used Wikipe-tan on the front page as well as next to an article on the variety of manga.
- In March 2007, the Swedish foreign ministry published a promemoria about Japanese anime and manga, using text and Kasuga's Wikipe-tan image from the Swedish Wikipedia
- British newspaper The Observer featured a picture of the cropped sailor fuku version of Wikipe-tan in the article "Girl geeks find manga haven" (World, Page 35, 2008-06-01, by Justin McCurry).
Consensus was strong at both Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Wikipe-tan and even Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Wikipe-tan full length that the image meet the requirements of being encyclopedic content. She was delisted due to anti-aliasing issues that have now been fixed with an SVG version.

I am aware of the image's unsuccessful nomination at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Wikipe-tan SVG. I am relisting because I feel that previous discussion had several flaws, such as: misconceptions about the self reference guidelines [1], one editor who apparently didn't know SVG is scaleable [2], previous consensus has established that Wikipe-tan is encyclopedic was not considered, the misconception that cartoon drawings are too simplistic to be FPs, as well as the misconception that one must like anime or this particular anthropomorphization of Wikipedia [3].
Also, since I was not aware of the last nomination I didn't get the chance to formally thank User:Editor at Large for her hard work at making the vector version. She has done what MER-C said was "irreparable".
