The following is an archived debate of the deletion review of the page above. Please do not modify it.
File:Mariah Carey - Love Takes Time US cover.jpg (talk|edit|history|logs|links|watch) (article|XfD|restore)

I contacted both Explicit (who deleted the image), Smarty9108 (who nominated the image for deletion) and Masem. Even with or without responses from either of them, I still believe that the CD format version of Love Takes Time is wrong for readers. The nominator believed that the US cassette version of the single should have high-res. Therefore, he orphaned the image and then replaced it with the CD one, which was not released commercially. I think that the commercial cassette one should be undeleted and then reused (and then improved if someone would take my request for image improvement). Then the promo US CD one should be removed as less true to readers. --George Ho (talk) 21:10, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't see how this is an issue for deletion review, as far as I can see the same user uploaded both images, and then nominated the other for deletion. Yes participation was non-existant, but as we can only keep one of the two images DRV overturning this or turning to softdelete is essentially deciding which image to keep. That actually seems to be an editorial decision, so I'd suggest you thrash it out on the article talk page with the other editor and anyone else who cares to join in, then I'm sure some admin can delete/undelete as necessary. Or am I missing something? --82.14.37.32 (talk) 21:39, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@82.14.37.32: Oh... I didn't fully summarize the file's history logs. The file was originally of the CD image, but then I replaced it with the cassette one downloaded from eBay. --George Ho (talk) 02:13, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So sounds even more like a content dispute, other editors add a picture, you decide it's the wrong picture and replace it with your preference, they effectively change it back. I really can't see DRV deciding a content dispute for you. --82.14.37.32 (talk) 08:00, 24 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I think this is the wrong forum. Should be worked out as a content dispute first. If consensus is reached to use this file, a request to undelete can be made at WP:REFUND. Kelly hi! 09:02, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
