Requested move

Category:Bad images → Category:Restricted Images — Earlier a user made a complaint that the article did not conform to WP:NEUTRAL as that policy doesn't extent to category's I removed the template, however, the user brought up a vaild point. "Bad" Images sounds like such a negative term. It also misrepresents the purpose of this page. I think Restricted Images sounds much less negative and it accurately represents the purpose of this page. Mww113 (talk) 21:01, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support- As nominator. Mww113 (talk) 21:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support- Made original suggestion. "Bad" clearly suggests that there is something wrong with the human body, its parts, and/or their functions. This is not a universally held point of view. 72.208.61.246 (talk) 14:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

Would anyone argue that the word "bad" is neutral point of view? Many of these images are nothing more than basic body parts and functions. Although some people apparently do fear the human body, that view is hardly universal. This needs to be renamed. 72.208.61.246 (talk) 16:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Almost all of these pictures are of dicks. What's up with that, Wikipedia? 216.9.12.226 (talk) 22:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I guess there are more guys willing to bare all than girls. Frankly, you shouldn't be surprised. --Ye Olde Luke (talk) 17:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I dont think NPOV is an Issue here. I might however suggest a move to Category:Restricted Images or something like that. Mww113 (talk) 20:51, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: the above proposal is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_May_13#Category:Bad_images.--Father Goose (talk) 23:17, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitrary censorship of "indecent" images

Does the practice of censoring these images violate WP:NOTCENSORED? Some of these images could be relevant on the pages for which they are not specifically allowed, but they are censored nonetheless. Jarble (talk) 19:57, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
