Thoughts on the close of goatse? As a "keep" advocate my biases are pretty obvious, but the keep arguments seem to largely have the better arguments. I think the weighing is if the "not encyclopedic" deletion arguments are taken as serious arguments (which I could see) or IDONTLIKEIT arguments (which I personally think is more accurate). I'm finding the NFCC arguments to be spurious as we would generally have a copy of an image when the article is about that image and NFCC wouldn't enter into it. The real question, IMO, is if this image is so gross and inappropriate that we are better off without images of this nature. I think that outcome would indicate we should take another look at NOTCENSORED and consider significant changes to it, but it's not an unreasonable outcome of this discussion (though one I certainly don't favor).

IMO, the only good argument I've actually seen for deletion is on the grounds that it's a sexual image of someone we don't know consented to the image being posted. -mattbuck (Talk) 02:51, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What's this talk page for? Restart the discussion? I'll switch sides for this round... :D Remco47 (talk) 03:07, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Na, more a meta discussion that would be inappropriate on the main page. I'm curious how people read the arguments. But it might be fun to switch sides. I think the Wright Brothers were known for doing just that :-) Hobit (talk) 03:41, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
