• Although I suspect this is a self-portrait/selfie, and if the user wants to place it on her own user page, that would be sufficient reason to keep (though it should be renamed). - Jmabel ! talk 01:18, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment I suggest it is inappropriate for us to set ourselves up as art critics. Geo Swan (talk) 01:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep I added a couple of categories that I think are appropriate. I would remind contributors that our scope includes documenting everyday life. I suggest this image belongs in Category:Lips, Category:Smiling, Category:Hand gestures. I see no lips quite like these in our collection. We should probably have another subcategory of Category:Hand gestures for peace signs. Geo Swan (talk) 01:34, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Keep, per Geo Swan. -- Tuválkin ✉ 05:53, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Delete if not used on user page. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 15:51, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Comment Did anyone else see that it's not actually a peace sign she's giving, but actually en:V_sign_as_an_insult#V_sign_as_an_insult. russavia (talk) 14:08, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
  • IMO, that the young woman did not use the palm-out V sign from the sixties to spread peace is an instance of "pilot error". The title of the image shows the clear intent to spread peace. After taking a look at our related images of hand gestures I think the uploader's error is a common one, and worth documenting, by keeping this image. Geo Swan (talk) 14:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
    • Yes, I read it first as her saying "up yours", which seemed a bit incongruous with her smile. It's probably an example of someone not knowing or caring about that meaning of the sign, though. --Avenue (talk) 09:30, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep It could be useful for illustrating confusion over the meaning of this hand sign, so it seems to be in scope. --Avenue (talk) 09:30, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
•  Keep per Geo Swan and thanks to him and russavia. Though it is not quite excellent image, at least 2 of the 3 used categories correspond to distinctive subjects/elements of the image and the image can enrich the categories. We have problem with thousand of quite uncategorized images with no distinctive elements. Appropriate categorization can make images useful for the scope of the project. --ŠJů (talk) 02:43, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

•  Question Should we delete the associated redirect then? The title is obnoxious and I wouldn't like to have something like that on the Commons. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 09:28, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
