Commons:Deletion requests/File:Two mormon missionaires.jpg
It is not realistically useful for an educational purpose. These are not actually Mormon missionaries, as the uploader has admitted at Wikipedia:Talk:Missionary (LDS Church). It is just two people who have tried to "dress up" like Mormon missionaries. This looks like two average people trying to get their picture on Wikimedia: belongs at Flickr, not here.

This image portrays a satire of two missionaries. I posted this in the popular culture section. They are simply dressing up as missionaries as actors would in movies and other types of popular culture. I see nothing wrong with this picture in the section. Dlull1 (talk) 01:39, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- How is the photo useful for an education purpose? To demonstrate that people can play "dress-up"? At a very minimum, the name of the file is misleading and would need to be changed. Good Olfactory (talk) 02:19, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
- Delete - no educational purpose - is fraudulent in that it claims to depict missionaries when in fact they are not missionaries. The article w:en:Missionary_(LDS_Church) has many educational pictures already and there are plenty of properly licensed pictures from which to pick something that more accurately and educationally represents the subject. --Trödel 12:38, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
- Delete -- or rename to reflect reality! Dlull1 was open that this was a satire or dress up picture, but the title and usage in the article is inappropriate. If these are 'LDS Young Men' -- that would be a better title and might be useful in other LDS related articles. If they are simply young men dressing up -- no Wikipedia value at all.

- Keep as presently constituted. Please note that this file was updated with a new, more accurate image on 1 September 2009. WBardwin/71.219.157.205 04:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Delete -- for reasons already mentioned. 71.207.23.19 13:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
It's quite a mess that a different image was uploaded over the one requested for deletion here, while the rfd was still ongoing. --Túrelio (talk) 07:25, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, that was not a good move. Good Olfactory (talk) 22:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry about that - but after 2 weeks of the picture being up without a decision, I wasn't patient enough for the deletion process. Plus from the backlog, I didn't know when it would be reviewed. I'm ok with the picture I uploaded being deleted as well. --Trödel 02:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
- The newer version seems to be accepted; so, I'll try to delete the original version.

Deleted the original version (that is subject of this rfd) as the image didn't really show what it pretended to show. Image can easily be replaced by the version that was uploaded later under the same name. --Túrelio (talk) 06:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
