This is a NSFW photo.... http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Korean_Vulv...
Five for deletion, two for keep. This is its third nomination.
An admin came in today and declared it being kept because "No valid reason for deletion, per previous decisions. Person is not recognizable." It has been nominated twice, by anon IP's who have simply declared "porn" or "obscene" as the deletion reason (not enough of a reason).
I nominated it, like I do many things, because it was unused on any project since its upload in March of 2009, it's uneducational, and the poor description proves that. I also think it's poor quality - if we need an "educational photo of a vulva" we have two really fab ones on the [[vulva]] article. Which of course was argued (a nude photo of a headless woman blow drying her hair in heels with the blow dryer cord and shadow in the shot.. come...on...), and as FloNight noted, we can probably have some high quality photos of a nude woman using a blow dryer that aren't taken in the bedroom for the project..if it's that in demand. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Korean_Vulva2.jpg
I'd be concerned about this user's track record of uploads, this the only one not deleted:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jonghap
Presumably if there is/was File:Korean Vulva3.jpg and File:Korean Vulva2.jpg, then there was File:Korean Vulva1.jpg which is gone now.
On copyright issues alone, I am concerned about this image, as well as regarding consent, given the private location of the photo.
Cheers, Katie
Yes, the context is being ignored, particularly the choice of name for the image, transmogrifying an innocent image of a nude woman into an oriental sex image.
