  • By the way, also per WP:BLP, Guðsþegn should seek help if the problem persists, rather than pressing the issue on his own behalf. --BlueMoonlet 00:46, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:BLP has nothing to do with this. BLP is not about avoiding terms people don't like or that they "reject", it's about including only verifiable information about living people. "Anti-Mormon" is a word Mormons use to describe any activity of protesting Mormonism outside Mormon temples, and per the photo that is clearly what they are doing. With all due respect, Guðsþegn should suck it up and take a chill pill - the usage of the photo is appropriate. Reswobslc 20:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      • WP:BLP should be carefully considered anytime a living person feels they are unfairly characterized in WP. Guðsþegn is one of the people in the pic, in case that has not been stated explicitly enough. Why is this image currently included in a section entitled "Protests" rather than (for example) one entitled "Proselytization," which is what the people in the picture (according to the caption) were actually doing? Is it perhaps because proselytization is not considered anti-Mormon (after all, Mormons do it in the other direction)? --BlueMoonlet 20:27, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        • Common sense should be considered when all the facts are in plain sight. This one looks like a duck, walks like a duck, smells like a duck, quacks like a duck. I am not Mormon, and I consider Mormonism to be total BS, but I'm objective enough to know that unless Mormons routinely sit around other churches during their busiest events with brightly colored text (like "Repent!") boldly telling uninterested attendees that their ways are in error, your comparison is equally bogus. A true example of violating WP:BLP would be captioning this image with something like these two "homosexuals" or these two "child molesters". Stating the obvious about what's happening in the photo is most definitely not a violation. Reswobslc 21:54, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
          • Do I understand correctly that you stipulate that proselytization by itself is not anti-Mormon? But you contend that the people in this picture were protesting, and that that is anti-Mormon? I want to be sure I understand your position before replying to it, so please correct me if I am mistaken. --BlueMoonlet 23:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
            • I think you've understood me well. In the vernacular of Mormons (the only real users of the phrase "anti-Mormon"), yes this is "anti-Mormon" behavior. The very fact that they're even standing in front of a Mormon temple wearing a custom printed shirt saying "Repent" at a well-attended prominent Mormon event is prima facie protesting in the opinion of those editing Anti-Mormon (and mine too) which is probably why the image was included in that article. If these people were engaging in the same activity in front of a 7-Eleven on a windy Tuesday in May I am sure it would be considered proselytizing by Mormons and non-Mormons alike.

(undent) The POV of Mormons is not more important simply because the article in question concerns a term used by Mormons. I can imagine the people pictured here handing out leaflets to passers-by with a perfectly pleasant disposition, and talking to anyone interested enough to stop. It seems quite a stretch to call that protesting. And if it's not protesting, then (as you've conceded) it's not anti-Mormon. I still think WP:BLP is important here. We have the testimony of a person in the picture that he was not protesting. Absent any reliable source the the contrary, I think we have to believe him. --BlueMoonlet 05:10, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Regardless of the above arguments, the photo in question is not of particularly high quality and doesn't do much to illustrate the point. It's a grip and grin portrait photo which can easily be removed without particularly damaging either article. There is already one photo of evangelicals preaching to LDS Church members which is a spontaneous, unposed and more illustrative image. FCYTravis 05:50, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I have deleted the photo because it is not of encyclopedic quality. It does not illustrate any particular point in general - instead what we have is a family photo of three smiling people lined up - you really can't tell what they're doing at all. This is not a good photo to use to illustrate the idea that there are people who attempt to convert Mormons. As mentioned above, a good-quality photo already exists, which includes clear anti-Mormon picket signs. We do not have to needlessly antagonize people. There's no reason to get all riled up about a photo which is unnecessary to begin with. FCYTravis 07:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Shouldn't this discussion be closed, as the image has been deleted? Also, it should be noted that a deletion review has already been filed. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 15:15, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Disagree How does using an image from a video game for the intellectual property that the game is based on, especially when said property is still held by the owner of the game in question (Warhammer 40k table top), a violation of fair use rationale? Objulen 06:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Image kept, for now. There's stronger consensus to keep this image, as opposed to the image above. But it's an orphaned fair use image, and I've tagged it as such. -- RG2 12:24, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The fair use rationale has now been completed for the Dawn of War article, and is no longer present on the other articles. I guess I should withdraw my nomination.-- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 21:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
