Self-promotional vanity image

Hi, Tim. I've read your message at User talk:Kalinators about speedy deletion of the image. As far as I'm concerned, I have always thought the image should be deleted, as you probably realise from what I have said before; it's just a matter of whether to delete it immediately or wait until Wednesday. I don't feel very strongly about which we do, but to me, there is slightly less of a case for deleting it immediately than there was, for two reasons: (1) Since the page where the image was used is gone, and the editor who was using it is gone, it isn't going to do any harm any time soon. (2) Now that the ex-editor has started throwing tantrums and demanding that the image be deleted, I don't particularly wish to give him the feeling that he's getting his way. Is that a rationally justifiable reason for holding on to the image? Probably not, but it influences how I feel. To look at it from a more policy-based point of view, I still don't see the copyright infringement as "unambiguous", so that deleting it now would be contrary to policy. If I felt there was a pressing need for it to be deleted sooner rather than later, I would be willing to trump that policy with the Master Policy, IAR, but I really don't see any such pressing need. My inclination therefore is to leave it until the F4 deletion comes into play. However, if you wish to nominate it for immediate deletion rather than waiting for a few days, feel free to go ahead; I will neither accept nor decline the nomination, and if another administrator takes a different view than I do I won't get upset and throw a tantrum.

@JBW Fair.

I think it would be tendentious for me to renominate in precisely the same manner, so it can wither on the vine.

Seems churlish to make such a short reply to your well considered rationale, though 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 05:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
