1.) propaganda icon without any encyclopedical values 2.) divisive and inflammatory 3.) composition is of minor graphical quality. --790 15:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm nor sure how RfD on commons works, but is there a chance that this inflammatory work could be deleted? -- 790 07:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete. It's divisive propaganda, singling out a nation (and its religion?) under the guise of a broad political statement -- and it's not very helpful, to say the least. —Down10 11:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep thats right, it's a propaganda sign but it's notable propaganda and the sign itself is used for exemple in boycott operations of israel products--Kimdime69 22:07, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete. I wouldn't care too much about an "anti-Zionist" icon, but unfortunately the natural interpretation of this symbol would seem to be "I support the destruction of Israel"... AnonMoos 07:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Answers

[edit]

1.) Not a propaganda icon in any way. It's merely an often found symbol that promotes humanity and not hate. Would you delete http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Anti-Nazi-Symbol.svg ? If not, why?

2.) See above. Is http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Anti-Nazi-Symbol.svg "divisive and inflammatory"? If not, why?

It's not imflammatory because the Nazi party does not currently hold power, nor are they represented by an entire nation. --Down10

3.) It's an often used symbol. Just because it's simple it's not "of minor graphical quality" (it should be easy to remember and recreate; just like a flag). Again, see above: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:Anti-Nazi-Symbol.svg

"Often used"? Where, and since when? --Down10
Your own image description "Usage: Symbol can be used by anti-imperialists and anti-zionists" shows best that your only purpose is to foster political POV. Furthermore, your answers show that any attempts of objective discussion of these topics with you are a complete waste of time. Calling a symbol striking out an existing state not divisive and inflamatory, but a promotion of humanity and not hate, and asking with no matter real or rhetorical naivité why Israel is not the same as Nazi Germany, just adds to that picture. Obviouly you are unable to distinguish between wikimedia projects, which are about knowledge, and those which are about voicing controversial political points of view. -- 790 19:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the encyclopedical value of this particular image? Thuresson 13:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
