File:Everyday Objects Under the Microscope (SHOCKING).webm

[edit]

“Dude, heh-heh-heh… This sucks.” (Beavis and Butthead impression) Arguably this is patronizing content authors, but I doubt this media is suitable for any serious educational use. ‑‑ Kays (T | C) 07:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Strong keep Are you being serious here? It features lots of microscopic videos of interesting subjects. For example it's the only microscopic imagery of toilet paper. Moreover, it's notable because of the popular attention and useful also for illustrating the JET Crew, e.g. if there ever is an article on them. You really should look into videos on WMC, most of them are not nearly as useful as this one, not all content has to be boring and uneducational. This one is about putting things under the microscope and clearly is educational and more useful than ~95% of videos on WMC, I have concerns that you don't understand COM:SCOPE and have not seen many videos on here...please browse some. Moreover, those comedic type of content is also useful for that purpose and such reactions don't make a video less useful. Prototyperspective (talk) 11:05, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are countless ways this file is useful so I didn't list all of them...for example also 'Microscopy in popular culture' etc. Nowhere is it implied WMC would only host serious content, what is "serious" about these files for just one example? Please first get familiar with WMC such as viewing a few newly uploaded videos before nominating content. Prototyperspective (talk) 11:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Prototyperspective:
  1. Notability, interestingness, or popularity are irrelevant for Commons. Please leave these concerns to Wikipedia discussions where they can matter.
  2. Special: Search/microscope~ "toilet paper"~ yields File: Туалетная бумага.jpg.
  3. The constant shaking renders the microscopic imagery worthless for sincere depictions of the objects under magnification. The main subject of the video is rather two dudes toying around with their new gear.
  4. Actually I criticized the referenced category, but the current deletion policy does not merit precedent. The argument “we must keep A, because B was kept” or “we must delete B, because C was deleted” is not recognized. Every file is assessed individually (and that’s also why said category is filled to the brim with female nudes).
  5. Sorry for the inadvertent double entendre, the content does not need to be serious, but it must be realistically useful to teach/instruct/educate. Frankly, if my physics teachers in school had been fooling around like this, I would not have learned anything. That is my point. Apparently you’re a different kind of learner, though.

  1. I did not mention notability or interestingness as a reason to keep what I said/meant is that this is educational in terms of informing about popular culture and e.g. types of popculture media content.
  2. You really mean to argue that because there is one image that looks entirely different that this one comprehensive video would not be useful?
  3. And? WMC can have videos of guys toying around. What is the main subject to you may not be the actual main subject and is not the actual subject to me. The microscopic videos are the main content and the reactions to that are also useful and context.
  4. As said over ~80% of videos on WMC are far less useful and less educational than this video. So I suggest that instead on insisting you know things here well despite being a very new user very unfamiliar with the site you first look around such as first editing for a while.
  5. Achieved with the microscopic videos contained there. You would learn how things look at the microscopic scale that can't be seen with bare eyes.

 Delete. The educational value of this video - which, to be clear, is two guys joking around with a USB microscope, not a serious attempt to demonstrate microscopy - is negligible, and I don't see any substantial likelihood that it could be useful in educational content on Wikimedia sites. Mirroring comedy shows is not a good use of Wikimedia resources. Omphalographer (talk) 17:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  1. To document the notable people, in fact one of the people in the video has a Wikipedia article
  2. Microscopy in popular culture
  3. What reaction videos are
  4. No explanation given, you just don't like it and want to COM:CENSOR it due to that while ignoring my points
  5. COM:INUSE anyway
  6. The video features various household objects under the microscope of which we have no other media, it's one of the most educational valuable contents due to that...for example the one and only media showing how toilet paper looks like under toilet paper

Oh and also lots of other things like various particular parts of human skin etc of which there is no media. That you want to delete this educationally valuable media just reveals your censorship attitude. This is one of the most valuable educational files on here, more educational and more useful thanat least ~80% of videos on here, and there is no policy for that content has to be boring.

 Info You should disclose that you created these uses in response to this deletion request. At the point in time of the deletion nomination the file was not in use. ‑‑ Kays (T | C) 08:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't create them "in response", I missed adding them earlier since I didn't know there was a Wikipedia article about one of the two people and didn't look into this video much until now. I'm very much allowed to add them after the DR was opened. Nominating files for deletion that are as useful as this is the problem, not that the file that is clearly useful is put into use. Prototyperspective (talk) 10:33, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Prototyperspective: It’s a matter of courtesy. Without it you create the impression I filed this DR in spite of (then‑)present uses. ‑‑ Kays (T | C) 04:55, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
