Why is this classed as a defamatory cartoon? Was there any court decision on that? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 21:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do you need a court decision to understand that? Drork (talk) 21:57, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The issue here, and with any other image in this category, is that the problem with the recently deleted categories included the problematic nature of categorising images in this way since whether an image is defamatory is completely subjective. The deletions and then creation of this category haven't addressed this. Adambro (talk) 22:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well Drork, I must be stupid then, but whom would it be defamatory of? Is Hitler's ghost complaining of the funny hat? /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 22:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You don't really want me to answer this question, do you? Drork (talk) 16:28, 18 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion here as to whether or not it is appropriate to categorise this image as defamatory has probably been superseded by the discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/Category:Defamatory political cartoons which seems likely to result in the deletion of that category anyway.
