Any others relevant to this matter that others recall?

start here:

And large chunks of the current talk page.
That one is rather similar to the Magician's Wars; see fpr example [[Talk:Out of This World (card trick)]]: people who sell magic tricks to professional magicians depend on the secrecy of the tricks, and magicians consider themselves to be bound by the Magician's Oath not to reveal them (see [[Magic (illusion)#Secrecy]]).
Should Wikipedia, which has magician visitors but is not itself a magicians' organization, be held by the same rules? Formulated that way, you can perhaps see the analogy with [[Muhammad]].
But does it matter that it is not a religious prohibition, but a professional one? Does it matter that people object to text, instead of pictures? Does it make a difference that they don't want *other* people to see the tricks, while the Muhammad petitioners don't want to see the pictures *themselves*?

P.S. I note that the picture in the Rorschach article is hidden by default.
