Self-"created", clearly unencyclopedic image. The SOPA-Blackout was fine, but activism-related content should be encyclopedically relevant, this one is not. Túrelio (talk) 08:28, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete. It could be encyclopedic if proven that it is a notable caricature, a notable image used for a notable protest, or something like that. It appears simply as a defaced photo of a living person, i.e. a personal attack.

Comment Before taking sides in this request, I would like to ask Materialscientist firstly if an image made for a talkpage needs to be encyclopedic. Further, I'd like to ask why it's considered a 'personal attack'. The manner in which it is was used here seems heroic on a very popular cultural dynamic. Give him a horse, a gun and you can have El Lamaro riding through Querétaro, México as a crime-fighting hero. I personally wouldn't give him a gun though, although it is part of the strong cultural stereotypical image. Other editors seem to have mixed feelings about the image, Bilby suggested it was humorous and funny, but not appropriate for an article talkpage, which I agree with, in the circumstances he was referring to. I'd also like to ask Off2riorob why he thinks I created it to 'demean' anyone ? I certainly didn't create it to demean Lamar, I created it to assist new editors on the SOPA talkpage, in a similar fashion to the messagebox which is there now, with wikipe-tan. I was aiming for subtle humor at best but as Bilby point out the humor went from 'subtle to blatant' when changing from the unaltered image to the Spanish hero flavored one, and I agreed with him because that wasn't what I was after.
