File:Abetomb03_(December_2005).jpg

[edit]

Personal photo of uploader's friends; useless for educational or informative purposes Nyttend (talk) 13:29, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note that this was transferred from en:wp; by "uploader" I mean the en:wp uploader, not the person who transferred it to Commons. Nyttend (talk) 13:30, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Withdraw per Closeapple's evidence; I never imagined that this was anything but a silly juvenile attempt to disgust viewers. Nyttend (talk) 14:34, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can see how the way the kid in the hat is positioned might be suggestive; but regular behavior really is to touch the outside like he's doing, not what his finger suggests. (There are pictures on the web of people doing otherwise, and inside the monument no less, but they are of course vulgar blasphemers. Tsk!) --Closeapple (talk) 15:30, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I assumed that they were pretending to pick his nose :-) Nyttend (talk) 01:08, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep clearly an often-touched nose. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 16:27, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kept - nomination withdrawn (non-admin closure). /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:54, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unused personal picture. Ices2Csharp (talk) 13:04, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Question: How is this different than before, when the result was Keep? (It illustrates an Illinois tradition, and for a file to be out-of-scope under Commons:Project scope#File not legitimately in use, it also must not be "realistically useful for an educational purpose".) --Closeapple (talk) 13:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's not true the result was 'keep'. The nomination was canceled instead. I see no realistic educational purpose, adding such a picture to an article would be considered vandalism. Ices2Csharp (talk) 13:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • I think perhaps you're misunderstanding what is going on in that picture: Perhaps you think they are picking his nose? This was discussed in the previous nomination. They are rubbing the tip of his nose for "good luck" (or just because it attracts people to touch it). It's actually one of the better-known attributes of Lincoln's Tomb, at least to people in Illinois. If Commons had a better image of the same behavior at Lincoln's Tomb, maybe I could see how this file would be an unnecessary duplicate because it has been mistaken for nose-picking in the past. --Closeapple (talk) 13:56, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Also, as far as it being canceled: I see "Kept" from a non-admin closure, which is allowed by Commons:Deletion policy#Closure "if they have a good understanding of the process, and provided the closure is not controversial". An explanation, agreement, and withdrawal of a nomination, followed by a over a month and a half open for anyone else to assert deletion reasons again, with no response, is about as uncontroversial as it gets. --Closeapple (talk) 02:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep speedy - it is quite clear that Ices2Csharp had not considered the previous nomination. Plaes stop making this kind of nominations. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 13:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep sigh. Pro-tip -- if the link to the talk page is blue, the picture was already nominated for deletion or there is something on the talk page you should consider before the nomination. Trycatch (talk) 15:51, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per same reasons as previous discussion: Still "realistically useful for an educational purpose" (per Commons:Project scope#File not legitimately in use), with all the citations I noted in the previous nomination, all of which are still online. Likely to remain realistically educational unless Commons gets better examples of someone rubbing the nose in front of Lincoln's Tomb, which is a long-established, well-documented tradition in Illinois. --Closeapple (talk) 02:11, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It appears to have been uploaded as a personal picture, but it's a member of the rare breed of personal pictures that are realistically useful for the general public. No reason to delete this, given the sources that Closeapple gave in the first deletion nomination. Nyttend (talk) 03:40, 15 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Kept per comments and previous nom. -- Infrogmation (talk) 18:27, 26 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
