• 1) "The image is used for educational and informational purposes to show a significant event." - the image, in my opinion, merely sums up the section of the George Reeves article it is used in (i.e. that Reeves killed himself).

2) "which could not practically be conveyed by words alone" - It has no educational value and provides no further information than the text itself.

3) "Any substitute... would fail to convey the meaning intended" - a simple graphic with the words "George Reeves Commits Suicide" would almost certainly be deleted through an XfD, yet it would serve exactly the same purpose as this image.

4) The image may be historically significant in that it illustrates the front page of a newspaper from long ago but it's use does not in any way illustrate a historic event.

5) Superman curse has been nominated for deletion, however this image has nothing to do with this curse and is not used to specifically illustrate the George Reeves section of this article, in which case it may (but probably wouldn't) be acceptable. tb240904 ^{Talk Contribs} 04:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete - this image is being used to harass and is counter to Wikipedia policies, is divisive and works against building an encyclopedia. The userbox that used it was deleted as per Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2010_August_3#Template:Too-many-snitches and the image is now being used on its own as a substitute for the deleted userbox. - Ahunt (talk) 15:23, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It raised the very serious issue of how "snitching" --- by which I mean deliberate and malicious snooping and jockeying to support an editing agenda rather than genuine investigation and reporting --- was bad for the goodwill of the Wikipedian community.

I cannot see why such a issue is either not worthy of concern or forbidden from being raised and discussed. It seems to be outrageous censorship and interference over others. I cannot see how this is any more or less unsuitable that 1,000 of other user's graphics, and especially photographs.

I am being sincere. If I can upload a picture of myself masturbating to illustrate that, why cannot I not use an entirely innocent graphic to illustrate an even more damaging practise?

If anyone can inform me of the right forum in which I can raise the issue for proper discussion, then please tell me. --

The userbox was deleted, any recreation of it in the form of a hard-coded instance using this image would mean the page (in this case, your userpage) would be deleteable via

WP:CSD#G4 and salting if you decided to continue to recreate it. Also, aren't long-noses indicative of lying, not snitching? –xeno^talk 16:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply

*Speedy Delete Serves not purpose other that to wind-up other editors which goes against the spirit of this community. Bjmullan (talk) 16:09, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep but rename While the motives for creation are not worthy of praise, I actually find the image aesthetically pleasing. I have therefore tried to find an "encyclopedic" use for the image. Ironically TR's actions may be viewed as
  Cutting off the nose to spite the face and that is where the image should reside. CyrilThePig4 (talk) 16:17, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply

• Keep but rename is an intresting option. I support it, though the user in question may still try to reuse the image in some unhelpful way. That said, he may well create another image (assuming in good faith that he actually created this one) to make his point if this one is deleted. At this point, it's up to the user to chose his own behavior. If he's happy with the image being used for other purposes (assuming his approval is needed under the license), then we should keep it. If his unconstructive behavior continues, then we should pursue sanctions at an appropriate place such as ANI. - BilCat

No, it is fine. I can accept that. I might even be able to offer a larger resolution for the project. I think it is a brilliant, positive solution.

I apologise for having to state it but it is worth pointing out that Bjmullan, above, is working in tandem with

Triton Rocker (talk) 16:47, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply

It might also be worth pointing out the Triton Rocker has already been banned twice for disruption and was using the image as a way at getting back at people who he felt told on him. Take responsibility for your own actions don't blame others, that what I tell my kids anyway. Bjmullan (talk) 16:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) To Triton: Bad behavior is still bad, no matter who reported it and why. Wikipedia is self-policed, which means every user has the right and even obligation to report bad behavior. You have that same right, but reposrting on people who you have been in conflict with would be looked at suspiciuosly. The same applies to Bj and HK, but in this case, they were right. My advice is to let it go, and work on other areas of WP that interest you. - BilCat (talk) 16:53, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As regards the British Isles issue, isn't it time to rename the Irish Sea too? - BilCat (talk)

Well the purely geographic term,

German Sea, got renamed for a political reason - guess us Brits aren't as magnanimous as we like to think we are. CyrilThePig4 (talk) 19:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply

• Speedy delete This user is showing no signs of learning from a series of bans and should not be encouraged in this sort of petty minded behaviour --Snowded ^TALK 23:50, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Your comment does not address the image in any way. We are here to discuss the image, not the user. Please see
  WP:ADHOM and start an RFC/U or some similar process if you wish to attack the user. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:04, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply

• Keep
  Cutting off the nose to spite the face is on my watchlist and the use of this image there seems quite reasonable. Those who wish to delete the image seem to have some personal vendetta with the user that created it. The image does not, in itself, seem to represent any particular person and so such associations are imaginary and fanciful. This is not a valid reason to delete.

• Keep and rename - no longer used on userbox, and bad behavior should be addressed directly with user. This image, however, is now in use and useful for the encyclopedia. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:29, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and rename. Regardless of the problems originally associated with this image, it's under a free license and currently being quite useful in an article. This could be useful at Commons. Nyttend (talk) 00:49, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment The proposed replacement picture shows the new set that started with season 13. The picture in question shows the season 10-12 set and is the only image in the article that show a set between the original 'soap opera' set and the latest set.
