File:Wikipe-tan's past, now and future2.png

[edit]

  • delete - Wikipe-tan stands for growing up in Wikipedia as a sex symbol with childish eyes and long legs? Delete and draw someone more grownup and sincere. --Adornix (talk) 20:58, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete per nom.--JN466 21:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •  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)[reply]
    • 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)[reply]
  • Keep -- No deletions because of moral issues, please. Denis Barthel (talk) 07:05, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
  • 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.

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.

Kept: is this a joke? Jcb (talk) 15:36, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
