Image fails
WP:NOR and is not usable in any article because of that. Wikipedia cannot be the first place to publish information. This would be the first place that the word YWHW would be presented in the hypothetical proto-canantite script. I've talk to the author at
Talk:Yahweh and looked at the cited sources, and none of them support the claim that YWHW would be spelled this way in that script, or that that culture even was familiar with YWHW. If kept, the spelling errors should at least be fixed.

Unfortunately the "Early Semitic" truetype font semear.ttf (which was used in the making of the controversial part of this image) was apparently created by an obscure religious grouping which assigns mystical significance to various hypothetical early alphabets in a way which goes far beyond the accepted consensus of mainstream scholarship in the area...

Low Quality. COI: I'm the creator of the image. I found this on the talk page posted by an anon. This image is well-intentioned, but amateurish and not of Wikipedia quality. I call for removal.Lenticel(

Keep, It's compliance with
WP:NFCC has already been reviewed. #8 I don't see why it would fail as the images placement is right after the commentary about a "Halo Hump". Also take note that article has no other images just this one for In video games Not having an image is very detrimental to readers understanding as it relates to commentary about the practice. And #4? Halo wasn't published within wikipedia IIRC, neither was the screen cap.--

Its compliance with WP:NCC was reviewed, but it was stated that it needed extra review and that it "might" comply. "Might" comply. The decision isnt as clear cut as you make it seem.

Keep, deletion would make the article less understandable to people without prior experience of the practise. It has been published on the
Bungie website, in fact I think there is a link on the image page. —Preceding

True,
published link. I think it is important to consider the context in which the image is used. The article in which it is used deals with pop culture which some may find offensive alone as well as the image by itself alone too. Having said that, it has been placed so as to differentiate between the act alone versus the act in video games. On the other hand you could say that the image isn't 'Appropriate' or that it is 'Unencyclopedic'. Well then you might as well apply that same logic to the article section itself in which the image is placed because it's mirrored 100%. If that were the only issue(is it?), it should then be noted that
Wikipedia Does Not Censor thereby rendering the argument that is should be deleted, both null and void--

Who said it was offensive? The guideline on censorship only applies if the image is offensive, which it isn't. Its a rubbish picture that isnt appropriate for wikipedia. In a similar but less serious way that an image portraying
bukkake would be. The fact that it was published on that website is just as useful as if it was published on imageshack. Plus you argument is awful seeing as the image does not accurately portray tea-bagging at all. And it still fails

As I understand you are saying that it does not accurately portray tea-bagging. That's a valid point as the characters do not have testicles. On the other hand, the image is not used to portray tea-bagging. The image is used to portray tea-bagging in video games. Which it accurately does. Having said that, it meets
WP:NFCC #8 and is appropriate for the article. p.s. I just gave you the published link because I thought you claimed it violated #4 and was published within wikipedia.--

I would like to add that the term
Teabagging is generally more abundant in the gaming community rather than everyday speech. I would also like to add that both
corpse humping and
Halo Hump redirect to the
Teabagging article where this image is used, further adding to the need for a screen capture of the act in video gaming.
