File:Science fantasy wizard flying into a base.jpg

[edit]

Per Commons:Deletion requests/Files found with insource:" happy-looking Gandalf" The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 09:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Keep It's not low-quality and is one of the only few images illustrating the concept of science fantasy genre fiction and art among several other subjects. Like the other image and even more so the person in the image does not look like Gandalf at all and neither like "Dumbledore".
There are thousands of photographs of the same thing including mundane things like pencils or low-resolution random streets but other aspects of human culture can't even have a mere handful of images of high-resolution modern digital art?
It illustrates science fantasy in that the wizard is using alien technology, implants, and aircraft like advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic (Clarke's three laws) (especially when not understood even by the user) and moreover is flying into a base on some Moon or planet of the Solar system in a fantasy context. There are nearly no other images available that could be useful illustrating this notable genre and this approach and that they are here doesn't mean they need to be used on Wikipedia. There isn't really a proper deletion nomination either. I'm not sure Gandalf was even used in the prompt but if it was, it was just as a workaround technique to make it have a wizard hat because that term is centric to the images it trained on where the figures had wizard hats not samurai hats or whatever the tool generated as hats earlier; it wasn't meant to look like Gandalf nor does it look like him.

    And illustrating fantasy, art genres, and the depicted subjects can also be valuable, useful and educational.
    Why would it be out of scope? You just say OOS but don't support it with anything but your vote such as quoting some policy or providing an explanation for why it would be OOS. There's also lots of other fantasy art even though artists only rarely license their images under CCBY. Like I said it can be useful for example for illustrating Science Fantasy among other things. I don't think I've ever seen you vote/… for delete in any AI-related DR so I consider it possible you indiscriminately vote delete for all images of that kind.

  •  Delete The image is unused personal fan art that serves zero educational usefulness. And no an image doesn't magically become educational or in scope just because it can supposedly be used to illustrated some artist genre or whatever. Every image illustrate a genre of art. Plus this image is based on pre-exiting, copyrighted IPs anyways. But the main issue here is the lack of educational usefulness. --Adamant1 (talk) 16:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I described why it is useful above. No, not every image illustrates a genre of art. It's not based on copyrighted IPs; if you don't know what a wizard is it can help to name a few examples. Moreover other art images are kept and usually have far more images available to illustrate the respective genre or are missing images as well. In contrast to other Keep discussions, specific educational uses have been described in detail and explicitly. Prototyperspective (talk) 16:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
