black/white and hence out of project scope, could be anything, not used anyway. --Yikrazuul (talk) 12:45, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

 Comment This is a typical Yikrazuul deletion request. By "black/white and hence out of project scope, could be anything, not used anyway" you could delete 25 % or even 50 % of all Bundesarchive images. Usually black/white, without description they could be anything, unused. But what reason to delete is this anyway? It's like saying: The picture shows a boat, delete it. So... the picture shows a boat?!
I really would like to know what the intention of this deletion request is. Is it to improve commons? But how is this gonna happen? It is quite worthless to argue why this picture should not be deleted, if the reason why it should be deleted is not clear. Btw the picture is used in the dutch wikipedia, but that just as a side note. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

 Info And this is a typical Cwbm response showing that he is not skilled and experienced in chemistry. In contrast to b/w photos of the Bundesarchive images, this pictures should show the composition of characteristcs of a dry chemical. So some key properties should be identifiable, but they aren't:

Which color does the chemical component have? We donna know, could be yellow, green, rosa, white, light-blue....

Which characteristics does the powder (?) have? We donna konw, could be some kind of needles, crystals, just a powder,....

Is the resolution high enough to identify anything usefull? Definitely no!

Should we keep something like that: Definitely NO! It could be anything, maybe cocaine! --Yikrazuul (talk) 11:48, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 Comment A white powder stays a white powder even in a black and white image. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 11:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

 Comment What about moving to a less specific name, e.g. “Open can containing a white powder.jpg”? --Leyo 10:54, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Why do you know that this is "white"? This info comes not from the picture? But anyway we could rename it "Strange can with something in in black and white". --Yikrazuul (talk) 00:02, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

•  Neutral it's a completely worthless picture, but if it's in use, it's in use, I guess.--Prosfilaes (talk) 15:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

I think it's better than nothing, but if we have a colored pictured of the same compound I agree with deletion. --Aushulz (talk) 02:56, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

 Keep In use. The stuff is white anyway. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 00:21, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
