Where does one get the notion that this is a good idea? – JBarta (talk) 04:11, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm basically repeating my response from the other deletion you nominated. What's the problem? Clearly you are not that impressed by Wiggle stereoscopy. Is the effect not working for you or does it work and you are opposed to such images being on Commons? I can understand why some people might not think they're worthwhile, but I disagree. I'm not the only one. The New York Public Library has an online gallery with such images.
- I think, at the very least, wiggle stereograph images are valuable because they allow people to see these images in their original context. File:Muir and Roosevelt restored.jpg is featured and a well known image known image outside of Wikis, but it was originally made as a stereograph card. A wiggle 3D image allows users to get a sense of how users were originally intended to view this image, and IMO, the image has different impact. Wiggle 3D is the easiest way of rendering the image in stereo. It's the only way to do it without special equipment, and, as far as I am concerned, it's at least as good as anaglyph images. We don't have file formats to handle any other type of 3D.
- Unless I'm missing something, it seems like these just aren't appealing to you. I don't think that's a reason for deletion. I actually have a whole of other wiggle 3D images I made from stereocards. I'll hold off on uploading them.--Bkwillwm (talk) 04:56, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination - I see now that ridiculous monstrosity is actually a legitimate (and I use the term in the loosest manner possible) type of image and not some hallucinogenic-fueled creation of some bored editor. My nomination was in error. My apologies. – JBarta (talk) 06:20, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
