The result of the discussion was: Keep billinghurst (talk) 11:44, 27 October 2009 (UTC) Under Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_censored, clearly states that "Content that is judged to violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, or that violates other Wikipedia policies (especially neutral point of view) or the laws of the U.S. state of Florida where Wikipedia's servers are hosted, will also be removed". This image violates US federal law (18 U.S.C. § 333 and 18 U.S.C. § 475), which prohibits defacement and modification of currency, which is what this image is portraying. Nicholas.tan (talk) 04:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• The image does not violate the law, the defacement of the bill violates the law. There is nothing illegal about taking a picture of a defaced bill (it's like taking a picture of a crime scene), therefore the content (or image) is not in violation of the laws of the state of Florida (or the United States).--kelapstick (talk) 17:41, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Kelapstick. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:37, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment As a point of information, even the act of "defacing" this bill was probably not illegal, because it is not done with the intent to make the bill unfit to be reissued (section 333), nor is it done for commercial purpose (section 475).

• A photograph of a newspaper article, not necessary to illustrate the subject in question (Boba Phat), there is a free image at the top of the page. kelapstick (talk) 20:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kelapstick,

All of the photos uploaded of Boba Phat are CLEARY him - not only is his name referenced in each photo, but the fact that you are claiming these "might not be him" is indicated clearly by the tagline photos, and the other photos I personally took myself. It is obvious based on his description(s) in both the San Diego Tribune & Long Beach Press Telegram explicitly indicate that the person in the photo IS Boba Phat. Furthermore, the fact that the Daily Titan photos also refers to him by his pseudonym Boba Phat is additional proof of the character in the photo IS in fact Boba Phat. The photo of him with Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Go's can be found on her verified Twitter Twitpics album, where she exclaimed that "Meeting Boba Phat just made my day!"

I do not understand why this image or any of the others you have added to the deletion list constitute pending deletion. All are photographs are sourced correctly and published in the public domain. I clarified this specifically in my rationale of each one please advise. Obviously the subject in question is Boba Phat as indicated not only by the original tagline themselves but also based on valid 3rd party news sources. These photos specifically refer to the character, thus meeting the criteria for GNG status (as a fictional character is technically not qualified as a BLP), and thus support Boba Phat's notability as a well-known cosplayer. Please clarify what you need in order for me to remove the potential deletion result.

Thank you Kelapstick! SheighZam (talk) 05:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Blatant delete The article already has a free image, and we certainly do not need all these photographs of newspapers to convey what he looks like. --Hammersoft (talk) 12:37, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
