[edit]

I think Commons have enough penis images. EugeneZelenko 15:43, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The commons might have a lot of penis images, but the fact of the matter is that every image on the Wikipedia "penis" article shows something different. This image shows an circumcised penis in both flaccid and erect states. There is another image on this page that shows an uncircumsized penis in both flaccid and erect states. On most articles a small difference like this would be unimportant. (ie: showing both smooth peanut butter and chunky peanut butter on the "peanut butter" article.) However, because a penis is something private and most people can't walk into their local grocery store to see, I vote we keep this image. It is educational because it is something that is not easily observed, and many people (especially women) do not know the visual difference between an circumsized and uncircumsized penis. Also, the penis is that of an African American, making it more unique, as 90%+ of the images are of Caucasians. --lightintheattic 06:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC) Abusing multiple accounts --Herby talk thyme 08:38, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete because a) we have enough cock pictures b) WE HAVE ENOUGH COCK PICTURES c) WE'RE NOT A HOSTING SERVICE FOR COCK PICTURES. Lewis Collard! (talk, contribs, en.wp) 06:38, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Yes, there are a lot of penis pictures here, but this is the highest res, best-quality picture of it's kind. I understand wanting to cut down on penis photos, but why this one? There are many other better candidates. --Violatrium 06:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Comment I have indefinitely blocked this user's account and those of the puppet accounts and deleted a further identical copy of this picture uploaded by one of them. Personally I'm inclined to strike this vote as well but I'll leave that to others. I suggest vigilance in this matter and the page is now on my watchlist. I'll consider my vote but it is likely to be a "delete" one if only because of the way the user is treating Commons, thanks --Herby talk thyme 08:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep True, there are enough penis pictures on the Commons, but this is one of the highest res. ones, I do know that we may have a bit too many penis pictures, but this one is far better than others. -- Connor99 - what a surprise - non existent user! --Herby talk thyme 08:35, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Could you please nominate these candidates for deletion? Thank you. --EugeneZelenko 15:44, 12 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If you don't want to see any more cock pictures, then don't look up articles or pictures on penises, cocks, wangs, dicks, etc. etc. This picture clearly illustrates the article and the two natural states of the male genitalia. Half the world's population has one, should we get rid of everyone else's too? Mghabmw 00:47, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, Commons is not private photo album. I agree that images of genitalia for different races, medical conditions (like sexually transmitted diseases) have educational value. But as we don't collect every possible photo of dressed people, so we don't need to colled naked ones. --EugeneZelenko 16:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I agree that we have already have plenty of penis images, however the one criticism I have heard is that our images of this subject lack ethnic representation. I think having an african american example is a good thing and this images is one of the higher resolution penis images available. The category could do with being reduced in size but IMO this image should be kept. WjBscribe 05:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closed as kept per majority of legitimate votes, despite trolls. -- Infrogmation 15:33, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
