*Image violates WP:NPOV, green and red are colours often used to represent good and bad things respectively. For example on Wikipeda accepted/resolved = green, declined/unresolved = red, the images used in warnings are usually red, etc. The image implies that a lower age of consent is worse. Guest9999 (talk) 18:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New colour scheme deals with the issue. Guest9999 (talk) 13:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The image certainly does need to be updated and it would do mo harm to change the colours, cannot someone create a new image before we delete this one. Thanks, SqueakBox 18:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If what needed to happen were clear, there would be no discussion necessary. Using terms such as "clearly" tends to denegrate any view that opposes the one espoused. I would support editing the current image, but I'm with SqueakBox: there is no reason to delete it. --SSBohio 17:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. My own impression is that the Roy G. Biv order of the color spectrum was simply applied to age order here. The color black, which has more negative connotations to my perception, is used in places like Saudi Arabia where extra-marital sex with anyone of any age is actually illegal. —Elipongo (Talk contribs) 19:21, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Personally I am more concedrned about it being out of date, eg see Ages of Consent in Central America but that isn't a reason to delete so keep. Thanks, SqueakBox 19:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, i see no reason to get rid of this image —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.29.46.104 (talk) 05:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it to a straight ROYGBV and removed un-used colors. --Carnildo (talk) 08:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If the data shown here is correct, then there is no reason to remove it, else it should be at most updated. KS —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.161.79.114 (talk) 12:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you consider applying a tag to your view, such as keep or comment? --SSBohio 17:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Snowbally Keep -- Red & green are not inherently biased colors, but rather neutral semeiotic symbols. This image is an application of the spectrum of visible light to the spectrum of age of consent. We should, however, consider reducing the number of separate colors, perhaps by combining ages, so that the image has more contrast and is easier to interpret for people with color blindness and the like. --SSBohio 17:02, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Attributing specific qualities to the colors red and green is original research and POV. Those colors and others are used here to specify different statistical data, not say something is good or bad. Image is free, image is correct. Keep it. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 17:28, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I hate to rain on people's parade but WP:COLOR says that "important information cannot be conveyed by color alone." I ran into this problem dealing with the tables at Kid Nation. We ended up having to add letters or words inside each colored box to show what color they are. Ospinad (talk) 18:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't see the argument that color shouldn't be used to convey this type of information. The scale is sensibly organized according to the spectrum, which puts red at one extreme and purple at the other, while green is in the middle. And much of the map is grey or black. If anything makes me question this image it's the complete lack of sources for the information in it. But that can be fixed. Mango juice^talk 20:32, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the colour scheme of the image has been changed since it was originally nominated. Guest9999 (talk) 13:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree that the image uses the colours to show that younger is bad and older is good. It also needs an update anyway.--121.72.37.228 (talk) 02:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete with userpage. Rationale is on MfD discussion. — Trust not the Penguin (T | C) 09:31, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image is actually a PNG with an SVG extension (as evidenced by the broken source code). A proper SVG is available on Commons with the same file name. TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 08:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This image didn't exist when I made it and uploaded it. I also used software that was supposed to convert files to svg but apparently the software just renames png files??? Thanks for uploading a correct version to Commons. I'm assuming that since they are both the same name that when this one is deleted, the related articles will automatically start using the Commons version?

As stated by uploader, it is a photographic reproduction of a 2D work by the Australia Zoo. Unless the zoo explicitly releases the rights to the sign or licenses it, I would consider it non-free. I don't think fair use applies to Turtle and honestly it's not of great encyclopedic value, probably being a tertiary source drawing from other citable sources.

Delete, not even a caption, let alone critical commentary. Violates WP:NFCC#8. —An gr ^{If you've written a quality article...} 18:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Caption has been added, giving timeframe of ad and show title. The ad contributes to an understanding that, during the 1930s and 1940s, Cantor was one of the biggest stars on radio. Pepso2 (talk) 04:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And you can't just write that sentence in the article?.... Calliopejen1 (talk) 13:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~, To tighten the relevance, I did add that show title to the body copy when I added the caption. Pepso2 (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Struck your keep because you already said keep above. Again, if it was not important enough to even have the show in the article previously, it is unlikely to be so important that readers need an image to understand it even better. The statement that he appeared in this show is perfectly clear without the ad. If you can dig up sources that say these caricatures of his huge eyes were his trademark (and that the caricatures were more important for him than other celebrities [because this suggests that all celebrities of the era were famously caricatured]), I might withdraw one of these noms, but besides that these images contribute nothing that couldn't be expressed with words alone. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All visual material contains "information" which differs from written "information." However, I'm outvoted here, so I have deleted the ad. Pepso2 (talk) 20:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, Demonstrates how Eddie Cantor's huge popularity was a factor in the rise of celebrity endorsements and how it happened outside the conventional channels of newspapers, magazines and billboards, as detailed in the caption: "One of 12 Eddie Cantor caricatures by Frederick J. Garner for a 1933 Brown & Bigelow advertising card set. The Cantor cards were purchased in bulk as a direct-mail item by such businesses as auto body shops, funeral directors, dental laboratories and vegetable wholesale dealers. These businesses then mailed a single Cantor card each month for a year to their selected special customers." A selection of the National Portrait Gallery, it shows how Cantor expressed stylishness and humor, which the drab Cantor photo at top does not. Pepso2 (talk) 20:42, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your claims about celebrity endorsements contributing to his success are unsourced original research and don't justify the image's inclusion. Calliopejen1 (talk) 13:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~, Reference has now been added to Eddie Cantor giving the Smithsonian Institution as the source of information about the Brown & Bigelow cards. As the caption notes, it's a reverse cause and effect: celebrity first, then endorsements. Pepso2 (talk) 18:35, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I struck your keep because you can't !vote twice. Even if the endorsement is sourced, is it so important we need a picture of it? Tons of celebrities do endorsements and we don't put nonfree images on all their biography pages. Calliopejen1 (talk) 18:44, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image deleted. The copyrighted caricature of the person does not belong in the article (especially the Infobox), when a free photo of the real person (Image:Eddiecantorportrait.jpg) is available on the Commons ("drab" or not). The caption is too meager to explain how "Eddie Cantor's huge popularity was a factor in the rise of celebrity endorsements" The image might be appropriate in a separate section of the article discussing the significance of the Brown & Bigelow advertising set (properly sourced of course) with some context to show how celebrity endorsements were before the Cantor set. -Nv8200p talk 18:32, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

image could be replaced with a free photograph of the subject Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:13, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Could be replaced, but why? Image shows artist's style of line art and his sense of humor. It establishes the importance of subject in the cartooning community with text showing that he was selected for inclusion in a series of "famous" cartoonists. Such would not be evident in a photo. As a self-portrait, it provides an insight into the subject which a camera image cannot. The picture has additional information in that it shows one of the artist's cartoon characters.

Non-Free image that is easily replaceable after product is released. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should not be deleted until after product launch date, as of now it is irreplaceable. Johndbritton (talk) 19:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Irreplaceable refers to something that is permanently and irrevocably irreplaceable (ex: a photo of an accident). This product will be mass produced and recreated a million times over. You cannot recreate an accident (technically you can, but who will?). Let's wait for a free image taken by a Wikipedian who cannot wait to get an MacBook Air. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 19:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We ran into the same problem when the iPhone and iPod classic were released. It's a non-free image of a product that has free images available for it. -- MacAddct  1984 ^{(talk  contribs)} 22:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep until product launch date. It's not reasonable to expect a free alternative to be available yet, because the product hasn't shipped yet--meaning that the only people with access to it to photograph are at Apple. So, I think it would be fair use to use until someone could get their hands on one to photograph. -- The Last User Name Ever (talk) 15:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The image was replaced by free, creative common images already. This means that the picture in question is now orphaned, in addition to it not being free. Please, for god's sake, delete this. Arbiteroftruth (talk) 15:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
