The file is not educationally useful. It was uploaded 3 years ago, is not used in any other Wikimedia project and is not realistically useful. - 212.183.20.34 09:25, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- I think cat images are always in scope ;-). --Túrelio (talk) 09:34, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- The trigger for starting this request was indeed my Usurp Request followed by a discussion with EugeneZelenko, ie could be seen as a conflict of interest. But leaving aside what triggered the whole thing: The request itself is formally correct. The picture really is not educationally useful. I just happened to notice it, because it affected by Usurp request. --212.183.20.34 14:42, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
Keep Time of upload and the fact of an image not being in use dont make it out of scope, and this image is well inside scope. Tm (talk) 15:19, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'd like to quote parts of Commons:Project_scope#Must_be_realistically_useful_for_an_educational_purpose then:
A media file that is in use on one of the other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation is considered automatically to be useful for an educational purpose.- Examples of files that are not realistically useful for an educational purpose:
Files that add nothing educationally distinct to the collection of images we already hold covering the same subject--212.183.20.34 10:50, 8 May 2012 (UTC)- The above argument can be made for any single image in a category, which individually taken would not seem to be extraordinarily more useful than the others in the same category. However if we were to follow the logic of deleting all such images, we would be diminishing the diversity of images available as a resource to our sister projects. In addition the educational remit of Commons is not just to serve our sister projects but also to act as a repository of freely useable educational media to projects outside of ours, not just now but in the future.--KTo288 (talk) 10:25, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- Keep No reason for deletion. Picture of notable species. -- Herby (Vienna) (talk) 18:27, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
