Image now part of Buddhism in Thailand. The lying buddha style is very special and known only in a few countries like Thailand. I vote to keep the image. -- Michael Janich 06:18, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep No reason given for deletion. Naconkantari 22:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. I like it, but if it should be deleted, then delete it :( . Naconkantari 22:47, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE The image is not used in articles, and it's a magnet for vandalism (daily dozen of aol ips vandalize with this image). Certainly the funiness of some userpages can take a shot for the wiki (I was just going to ifd this, someone else did it faster, so consider my statement as a nom reason) -- Drini 22:46, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is sourced and is released as PD and normally only used on User pages. Not convinced deleting image will reduce any vandalism. They will find another image. -Nv8200p talk 23:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. However the image was uplaoded in march, but there are examples [1] dating february, so chances aren't the uploader is not actually the owner of copyright.
Delete, uploading user doesn't seem to be very honest. --Conti| 23:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and consider blocking uploader. I strongly doubt that the uploader took the picture, given that it was circulating on the Internet for some time before showing up on Wikipedia. For example, http://ceilingcat.com has been around since not later than February 9, 2006; that domain name was registered February 10, 2006. Furthermore, ceilingcat.com is registered to a person in New York City, and checkuser evidence strongly suggests that the uploader is not in or near New York. Finally, no meaningful encyclopedic purpose, and the image lacks a stated source. Kelly Martin (talk) 23:33, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm restating my nomination to be more precise. This is an image, that while possibly PD adds nothing to the encyclopedia, but instead is damaging by encouraging vandalism. I'm listing the ones I catched only today at Image talk:Ceiling cat 00.jpg, and today wan't a special day, that's every day. And I only catch a minor fraction of the vandalism. Since Wikipedia is not a free webhost we have no obligation to host an image that is damaging the encyclopedia and currently has no use. Moreover, the uploader did it to create a vandalism page, which I've restored temporarily and can be seen here: [2] We should not reward that kind of behaviour, but stop it instead.-- Drini 23:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Just be glad the vandals aren't using something worse, like the infamous Image:Penis_reduced.jpg. Besides, it's a funny picture. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 01:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, fine, delete it. It really doesn't have a purpose here anyway. --Mr. Lefty Talk to me! 16:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: User:Zoe deleted the image. [3] --Conti| 01:49, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, but it doesn't qualify for speedy deletion so I've reuploaded it. It isn't absolutely imperative to delete it immediately; it can hang on for six more days pending the conclusion of this IfD. —BorgHunter (talk) 02:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: you could have simply undeleted it instead of reuploading. --cesarb 12:23, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't realize that image undeletion is now enabled. However, it doesn't really matter. —BorgHunter (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Humorous, but... has no place on here. --Pilot|guy 03:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Cute, but this is not the place. Also, uncertain copyright status. --Improv 04:47, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Images commonly used on userpages are almost unencyclopedic by definition, but encyclopedic should only be relevant for images in the main namespace. We also don't delete things for being vandal magnets or we should be deleting the entire site right now. I think the reason we should delete it is copyright concerns and nothing else. - Mgm|(talk) 10:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. HUGE target of AOL vandalism. See the report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Ceiling cat vandal. Also, unencyclopedic and false copyright status. -- King of 17:27, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unencyclopedic, unnecessary, encourages vandalism. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 18:14, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per morven --Shuki 20:20, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. More vandalisms are going on right now and the problem outweighs the amusement (although I know plenty of other images could serve as targets). -- Omicronpersei8 21:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no current legit uses and for all intensive purposes a pure vandalism image. Ceiling cat may watch me but I'm watching ceiling cat get hit with a giant deletion hammer. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 04:54, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
STRONG Delete nothing but vandalism. Someone mentioned that user page use is unencyclopidic so we should keep it...I seem to remember something in Wiki about a user page not being a personal blog. I'm TIRED of fixing pages that are using this cat.KsprayDad 06:44, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It is something of an internet phenomenon and deserves to be linked to the Ceiling Cat page. 130.102.0.178 03:38, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Ceiling Cat article is only temporarily undeleted for Drini's mysterious purposes, and shall not stay. —BorgHunter (talk) 06:20, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The mysterious purpose iis to let this link to be available (which was created the same day b~y the uploader in order to prove that he was not a good faith and serious wikipedia contributor. -- Drini 15:16, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless we've given up and decided Wikipedia is really just a toy for trolls. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This kind of garbage is fine for myspace, not Wikipedia. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 21:04, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not encyclopedic, not even evidence of meme notability --

Comment: Well, it's somewhat notable. It's been posted to 4chan 61 times in the last two months, and Macrochan has 24 edits of it. Non-notable memes don't get parodied that much (or reposted that often) (It also has a site) -- Travis Wells 12:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Sole purpose of the image is vandalism. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Used only for vandalism, made worse by fact that it's mostly AOL user vandalism. NawlinWiki 13:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kill it. Copyvio. The vandalism is nothing, it's the being a total copyright violation that makes it delete-worthy. --Rory096 14:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delete I can't believe there are people who think this crap should stay. Danny Lilithborne 22:17, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Really - this has no purpose, and is just a troll target (not saying all uses are trollish of course). Ian¹³/t 20:23, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
