Image:University of Dublin - seal.png (talk, delete), uploaded by Djegan (notify) replaced with Image:Seal of the University of Dublin.png - own image so no user notification required- Djegan 17:20, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you create a copy and then put this one up for deletion? Was it to rename it? --J a son ^(talk) 19:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rename, yes. Djegan 20:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Bring radicals cartoon.PNG - unencyclopedic. Also, not funny. -℘yrop (talk) 00:38, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is funny. Besides, it does actually serve a pedagogical purpose in that it, on first reading, seems to contradict a known fact about solving quintics, but then after the pun is recognized, emphasizes distinction between types of solvability. --C S (Talk) 07:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no fugly drawings on Wikipedia, please. I'd not take serious an encyclopedia article with that sort of illustration. Also not funny for those lacking an university education in math, i.e. 99% of the world. Sandstein 14:45, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is in use on someone's page, I see no harm in keeping it. Weatherman90 17:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Er, it says: "No pages link to here." Sandstein 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, now I see. I looked here. Still, I think it's just not done well enough to illustrate a scientific article. If you just want to keep it on your user page, no problem. Sandstein 07:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That was actually me who said "Check again", my signature got misplaced somehow. You must have read the userpage link that I pasted on there as a signature. The user who has it on his page has yet to comment. Weatherman90 16:04, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. To summarize my comments on Talk:Quintic equation, 1. silly cartoons are found in serious encyclopedias (although I admit, not often except in articles about cartoons or humor), 2. low-quality silly cartoons of this sort are often seen in math/science magazines accompanying articles similar to the ones this cartoon has been used in (was in Quintic equation, now in Bring radical). I seriously doubt that the presence of a cartoon would make many readers with a serious interest in a math article take the article less seriously, as the same group of people would likely have seen similar cartoons in similar contexts elsewhere. Also, so what if 99% of people in the world wouldn't get the pun; 99% of people in the world won't read the article. CyborgTosser (Only half the battle) 19:47, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
