Keep Valid user page image. Wikipedia allows one image. If this is deleted, then countless other users' images are up for grabs, like
Raul654,
Kelly Martin, and
Nv8200p, and god knows how many other people have uploaded an image of themselves for use on their user page.

Comment - If Wikipedia allows one personal image for a user page, then this one is it. I don't have any others. It's a self-portrait, so there aren't any copyvio or permissions issues. The nominator hasn't posted a link to the claimed policy. I've just left a note on his talk page requesting one. There is an active discussion well worth reading on
Wikipedia talk:User page but no resolution.

Keep There is no policy that states that self portraits of its users are not permitted to be uploaded on Wikipedia. If there is, please provide a link so we can all be educated about this. -

Speedy Delete - clearly used for vandalism and lacks any other merit.

Sppedy Delete - Obviously no encyclopedic merit.

KEEP This is my own photo taken by me to illustrate Comerica Park's deminsions. The name probably should be better, but it has no basis for deletion under any Wikipedia policy, it is GNU and thus should stay. Isn't the obligation to explain why a bot or person asks for its deletion? --

I find this quite ridiculous. This is an IRC policy and should not necessarily extend to Wikipedia. What's more important: a complete encyclopedia, or a draconian rule of IRC-goers? While that last remark may be off-topic, I request exemption for Gnaa-wikipedia-assault.jpg, as it clearly does not have anything important in it that the IRC-goers would wish to protect anyway. functionmsikma(user:UserPage, talk:TalkPage) {23:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)reply
A simple rule protecting people's privacy is hardly "draconian". While you're correct that the rule might not necessarily apply to Wikipedia, keep in mind that an official Wikimedia meta page explicitly directs users to the IRC channels, so you can't argue that there's no connection between the two entities. Also, the overwhelming majority of users of the Wikipedia IRC channels are themselves Wikipedia editors. Why would you want to upset and alienate your fellow editors by posting excerpts of what they believed in good faith to be a private conversation? The images should be removed (and replaced with screenshots of channels where logging is not prohibited) if only to maintain a collegial atmosphere here. —

Why not simply take a screenshot in a channel which permits logging, or in a private channel? There are other IRC screenshots on Wikipedia which do this. —

I don't approve of this, but to me, i could use these images as examples. As per listed under the GFDL, i could suggest of keeping the GNAA image, as a forward warning on their attacks to other users. But i suggest editing those images, to hide the nicklist or the convo, otherwise, those images are fine to me. — Preceding
