Poor quality file, not useful, appears to be a joke as opoosed to an attempt to provide a quality image of a subject. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:14, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Beeblebrox. I uploaded the image 5 years ago to add to an en-Wikipedia article, Angel Delight, where another image has since been substituted. I see now from the article history that someone removed it and substituted a much less clear photo of the dessert, commenting on this image as resembling a vulva. To be honest, I never noticed until you posted it for deletion and I saw the 2012 editor's comment in the en-Wiki article history. I guess I'm an innocent at large: I just thought it was a clear photo example of a British dessert. All in all, it seems rather mild compared to many photos of human anatomy posted all over Commons. Is it really necessary to trash this because some see odd shapes in a spoonful of dessert? After all, as Dr. Freud said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

It is of course quite mild compared to some, a great many if fact, images hosted here. But many of those images are intended to portray anatomy, sexual acts etc, and it can be argued they serve a legitimate educational purpose in doing so. In the case of this specifc image, regardless of your original intent, the only way it is being used anywhere on any WMF project currently seems to be due solely to said resemblance. I would think, this being an apparently popular desert in the UK, that a quality image which does not resemble anything but a desert could be produced.
