Hello - I stumbled on this "image", which is not really an image, but a .pdf document of some text that probably constitutes a speedy delete per WP:BLP candidate. It appears to have been associated with a deleted article of the same name, and created by Mortakai ( talk · contribs); and it also appears to be an attempt to work around the original article deletion by posting the same article text content as an image, which is now orphaned but not fair use. I think it deserves speedy deletion, but it is such an odd thing that I am unsure how it should be categorized as a CSD/ISD. As a BLP violation? As an orphaned image? As a nonsense image? I was going to tag it for xSD/xFD but I could not find one that would really fit. A little more background - the person David Arnott is/was a child actor in the early 90's, who posed in a controversial (approaching child pornography) though brief nude scene as a 12 year old in the movie CrissCross. I think this .pdf image is a "joke" or otherwise inappropriate reference to that nude scene by claiming he is therefore a porn actor, which is wildly inappropriate I think (see also this diff which was quickly reverted). Anyway it probably needs to go away ASAP at least as a BLP issue, since it makes specific claims. I might have done it myself already as an IAR mop-up job, but, oh yeah - no mops for me. -- T-dot ( Talk/ contribs ) 06:51, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was about to post the following to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism re User:Knitsua and got an edit conflict with your removal.
I will keep any eye on this user and see where it goes. Thanks, and sorry for any trouble. -- Jack Merridew 14:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I only examined the page in its most recent shape and didn't notice on the talk page. I won't mind if create the article again but I request you add at least one other source along with it because it almost appeared to be spam when it was deleted. Thanks Gizza Discuss © 22:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Nice to see that you're back! Could you please give some advice about how to deal with the following situation:
Vision Thing has also been doing similar things with the Nobel Prize in Economics article and a few other related articles. Suggestions? I've also asked Dekimasu about this but Dekimasu has been kind of involuntarily dragged into this over and over again since closing the aforementioned RFM for the Nobel Prize in Economics article. –panda 04:40, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination recently. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started ( 2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual content will resemble the current content at the featured content page. Such output would probably start at the bottom of the main page. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 18:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
It wasn't so much that it was non-notable, it's that practically every third word was about how great the guy was, and that's against NPOV. HalfShadow 03:18, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I didn't see that AFD. Thanks for pointing it out, I restored the article. Feel free to send it to AFD again, though, because it does look like it has problems. -- Core desat 03:43, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
