Image:Dog tooth.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs) - uploaded by T-1000 (notify | contribs).

For context, a while ago there was an "Origin" miniseries for the character Wolverine from X-Men. There was a character called "Dog", who some fans thought was Sabretooth. For the record, this miniseries came out around seven-to-six years ago and this speculation has yet to be confirmed. The only reliable source listed was one interview with writer Paul Jenkins, in which he denied the connection in his story, although admitting that another writer could change it.

Anyway, the picture listed is a pasting of two unrelated images side-by-side to show a comparision between the two. The caption on Dog Logan's page states "Sabretooth greatly resembles Dog Logan". As stated before, I think this counts as original research and synthesis of published material to advance a position as any 'resemblance' between the two is in the eyes of the person viewing it and there is no reliable source to back up this particular image.

  • Keep Wikipedia is not saying that Dog is Sabretooth, we are reporting the speculation from the fans. Since the spculation is brought up in a interview, it is realiable sourced and is notable. The picture serves a purpose of letting readers know why such a speculation existed in the first place (Gold Hair and massive build). original research is proposing theories on Wikipedia, reporting theories is not. Wikipedia allows the reporting of theories per Category:Theories T-1000 (talk) 06:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Does the interview bring up the comparision of the gold hair and massive build?--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment. Just checked. All the interview says on the matter is "Who knows? In my mind, Dog is not intended to be Sabretooth, but he could be. It doesn’t matter. As long as the next writer respects the character and writes a simple story, anything could happen." That's it.--CyberGhostface (talk) 15:44, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - As per the nom. As for the use of the image... the text and caption are spurious, at best, to the topic of the article. - J Greb (talk) 07:34, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as above. If we had someone saying "yes they are the same" then perhaps something like this would be justified but the arguement for the link largely starts with the picture. Paul Jenkins has explicitly said they aren't the same person (at the moment) which is really as far as we can go down that line because that is all we can source.

  • Delete. The image itself has been added only as synthesis to advance an opinion. Otherwise, it serves no Wikipedia-appropriate purpose and therefore violates the policy regarding when it's acceptable to use an image (in this case, a combination of two images) under copyright elsewhere.

  • Is the Replaceable? explanation given for this image valid? Damiens.rf 12:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete - Image is now orphaned, replaced by a free image. Kirby is an exception to this being an advocate for a lot of human rights causes, but I should point out the follow with respect to Australian judges, and the answer to your question is yes - the rationale is valid: Australian judges do not appear in public by convention and taking pictures in courtrooms is illegal and punishable by fines. Although it is perhaps possible that one day someone might be able to take a photo in a conference a judge is giving, it is extremely unlikely, and images of even the High Court can be considered as non-replaceable. I might add that we are not depriving anyone of copyright royalties by publishing judges' photos as they are publicly distributed and available images made by the Australian Government. We have no photos available for judges' articles without this image either. JRG (talk) 14:10, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"...it is perhaps possible that one day someone might be able to take a photo..." - I thought this was the whole point of this "replaceable" thing... --Damiens.rf 14:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No it's not. There is a recognised exception for those who do not appear in public. Judges should come under this. JRG (talk) 00:03, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think that exception is just for Osamas and the like. Using it for judges is a little over the top. --Damiens.rf 22:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Rubbish - you obviously do not understand the situation. JRG (talk) 00:37, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Putative graph of geophysical data, but no source for data is given. The graph doesn't even make physical sense, because it mixes up concentrations, rates of emissions, and supposed contributions to the greenhouse effect (to the extent that it can be understood at all).
