I have been debating writing this response for the last several hours...
I'm sorry Szedki, but you need to go back and read [[COM:SCOPE]]. The first line reads: "Wikimedia Commons is a freely licensed *media file repository*(similar to stock photography http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_photography archives) targeted at other Wikimedia projects."
What this means in plain English to us? That if an image is used by ANY PROJECT for a VALID PURPOSE (in this case on en.wp for [[w:Semen]] ) - it is IN SCOPE.
Just in case we're a little fuzzy here? What is a valid purpose... well, anything other than an attack image. Sometimes images get uploaded and deleted shortly there after as being an attack image. In the case of [[ Image:Semen2.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Semen2.jpg]] the image was added to [[w:Semen]] on *12:47, 23 August 2006http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Semen&oldid=71370118 *. (Yes, I went back through a few thousand version to find where it got added).
The rest of our scope page goes out the window at this point in time. I don't care if you hate cumshots, I don't care if it is against your god/country/religion. This is COMMONS, it is for EVERYONE not just myself or yourself. Oh, and in case it helps: The word "Common" is defined as: Mutual; shared by more than one. [ http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Common ] . Oh, and for the record, I don't much like the cumshot pictures either. I don't think you'll find too many people that do.

As for the rest of your email, I don't think I claimed to have any relation to you - ANYWHERE. Be it father, brother, uncle, archnemisis, priest, etc. If I did, feel free to let me know.
As yes, I am tired of this argument. But when I'm tired and angry at people, I go out for a bike ride... not delete images. I felt the need to use strong language on my talk page to convey my point... not everyone may appreciate it - but I was not directing it anyone. Additionally, I think I properly prefaced my comment so anyone with sensitive ears (or in this case eyes) would be upset.

Ok.... So why don't I pop in and explain my thoughts and therefor my actions. As I've said about 100 times, I'll happily explain anything I
do.

but as the original user pointed out to me - this file was in use
It's not an argument, images "in use" (!). Images "in use" were often uploaded and linked on other wikis by the same user.
Yes, the UDEL was completed extremly quickly - but the image was (again) previously in use and no outstanding issues other than people didn't like the content
Three opinions pro undeletion and one strong oppose, completely ignored by Rocket000, decision after 20 hours. Extremely or curious?

Sweet. You're not my teacher and you're not my father or buddhist master. The answer is simple:
Step 3 - Is it in Scope? You say YES, I say NO.
Rest of your answer to Wpedzich is bitter sweet - i could ask you - "you were having a bad day or simple were going rogue?". You're tired? It's not my problem.
My proposition is still: unblock and start a debate 'bout Richiex images and few other amateur photos from "anatomy" categories.
