Talk:Penis

Possible vandalism?
While I remember the Doctor implying he has "two of other things" besides hearts, I don't remember anything specific this citation could be based on.... do we count this as vandalism or improper citation or what? Jamar Redstone ☎  17:40, May 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Just delete it. We really don't know for sure what he was referring to.--Matau

If the image previously on this page is reuploaded as a JPG file, I see no reason why it should be deleted. T:NOT SFW says "However, we make no guarantee that the images and articles on this site will be 100% 'safe for work'. This is because the Doctor Who universe is not a 100% 'safe for work' creation," so unless there's some other, less obvious rule being broken I don't see the issue.

 * The rule on this site not being "safe for work" was created in reference to a controversial upload of a picture of half of a woman's ass. This was not created in replacement for, nor does it retroactively revoke, Wiki's community guidelines.

"Don't post porn, shock images, or explicit descriptions of sex... On most wikis, this includes nudity (including bare breasts and butts)."

- Fandom Community Guidelines


 * The page goes on to clarify that artsy representations of nudity might be accepted, and it may be acccepted if it is a medical or educational wiki. Zygon, I can promise you, is not an artsy production. We are no a medical or educational wiki. We are a wiki about a British children's television show from the 1960s. Thus porn is not acceptable.

 * You're materially wrong about the content of this wiki, OS25. Please consult Tardis:ParentPage. We're about a franchise that includes material up to the equivalent of (US) R-rated material, which certainly can include brief, full-frontal male nudity. Torchwood: Children of Earth actually does include one shot of Barrowman's penis, so it's not just this BBV image. And Doctor Who was never a children's program. It was, at the explicit will of Sydney Newman, made by the (adult) Drama Department. And later producers have often confirmed it is meant for families, not kids. Never mind the fact that several of the 1990s novels are well and truly adult in nature, particularly RTD's New Adventures entry.


 * Moreover, if Doctor Who were considered an "aimed at children" show by Fandom, anon editing wouldn't be allowed. But it's not. It's important to remember that the parent show, in America, airs at 9 PM, not 9 AM.


 * As a local bureaucrat, I have absolutely no issue with this image. I'm going to consult with my colleagues at Fandom later in the week to see whether this image is actually in violation of the FCG. It may well be, and if so, I'll have no problem deleting it.  But I have a duty of care to the non-censorship policy of the wiki to actually get, and not just assume, a Fandom takedown request.  03:24: Mon 08 May 2017


 * I brought up the most simple representation of the idea of the wikia merely to illustrate that we're a wiki about a fictional franchise. But I stand by my point that such a graphic image is unhelpful on a site covering a fictional sci-fi franchise.


 * Thank you for investigating further. OS25 (Talk) 04:07, May 8, 2017 (UTC)
