Sentences on portrayal of Jews vs. Non-Jews by Latuff

Whilst the images may completely support the hypothesis, solely using the images would be a violation of WP:SYNTH and WP:OR which is forbidden even if true. Misplaced Pages, in general, should not be the place of origin for the publishing of original ideas. If any of the sources brought in the third sentence support the hypothesis/observation, then please remove the {{or}} tags. Otherwise, if verifiable supporting documentation in a reliable source cannot be found, we need to remove those sentences. As an aside, I combined the various pics into one reference each to make the article text more readable. Thank you. -- Avi (talk) 17:21, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

I am sure one could find some lobbying organization alleging this, but it is just not true. It is easy to find cartoons criticizing dictators like Saddam Hussein, etcetera. Latuff has a pathos for justice. /Pieter Kuiper (talk) 12:46, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

BLP and what that means

Carlos Latuff is a living person, which means the content of this article must comply with WP:BLP. This means that ll contentious material must be sourced to reliable third party sources. These edits are unacceptable in a BLP. To begin with, an editor is using Latuff's cartoons themselves as sources and providing his own unsourced commentary in its place. Next this is a blog, as is this (one that has no place anywhere on Misplaced Pages). Sandinistas, do not restore such material. BLP requires that you gain consensus for any material removed as a BLP violation. Please try to do so here. I am removing this material once more. nableezy - 13:15, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

The material that has been restored does not comply with WP:BLP. Editors are not permitted to make their own opinions on what his cartoons "can be understood as expressing". All negative material on living persons must be cited to reliable secondary sources. I will be removing the material that introduces negative OR commentary sourced to the primary source (the actual cartoon). nableezy - 22:22, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Original Research

Huge segments of this article are interpretations of Latuff's art by editors (referenced to primary sources linking to Latuff's art). The interpretations are often negative and followed by labeling the cartoonist as "anti-American" or "antisemitic". This seems like a clear violation of both OR and BLP. I propose we remove these. Also the text contains a large volume claims of antisemitism by people who are not notable. Are these not against BLP and NOTE? Poyani (talk) 23:49, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

You are correct. // Liftarn (talk)
Someone should correct it, tbh. When it comes to NPOV, this article is somewhat of a "joke". Dnm (talk) 20:57, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. Pikolas (talk) 01:06, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Misplaced Pages. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.

  • If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Misplaced Pages (Commons does not allow fair use)
  • If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
  • If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

POV

Guys, this article is not balanced at all. Reading it makes it seem like he is almost a self-professed Jew hater, which I don't think is quite accurate. Pikolas (talk) 19:45, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, you sound like an extremely naive ultra-leftist. This article is indeed biased, but for the opposite reason: it makes him seem like he is only anti-Israel, but the truth is that he is extremely anti-Semitic and advocates the genocide of Jews from the Land of Israel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.205.78.43 (talk) 05:06, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
Latuff has never attacked the Jews as a people, nor has he advocated "genocide" or even reversal of Jewish settlement since 1948 outside of the current occupied territories. Inserting these erroneous views into an article is a violation of NPOV as well as BLP. I would agree with Pikolas that the article as it stands is barely acceptable on these grounds anyway.
