DI rationale
editPlease see the user's page at Commons There is a discussion ("File source is not properly indicated: File:The Genealogy of Bharata.png") which involved Moonriddengirl (and, somewhere else, me). This image was previously deleted there, and it is identical. - Sitush (talk) 19:29, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- There's no doubt that the uploader scanned this image and may have manipulated it in Photoshop. The question, of course, is where the original document is from. Did the contributor create it in Photoshop, stains and all? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:40, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- For the uninvolved, how is there no doubt that this was scanned? Per ScrollsofAryavarta's reply, I take it she gathered information that is spread-out in much text. – sgeureka t•c 07:56, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
- I was tempted to nominate this for deletion rather than speedy it. Then I thought that, well, since it was deleted at Commons then it should be the same here. Of course, with hindsight, that rationale conflates two projects and so it is not a great idea. Should we scrap the speedy and go for the more prolonged discussion?
Somewhere in the past, IIRC, the uploader was asked about the weird colouring/staining and the highlighting but could neither provide information about this nor a "clean" copy. It is likely but not certain, therefore, to be derivative. And even if it is own work, it is original research because the Puranas are a vast series of ancient texts that often contradict each other. - Sitush (talk) 08:07, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
