Delist — Unless David agrees to desist legal threats against good faith reusers and give them an opportunity to correct any attribution errors before demanding compensation (or switches the file license to CC 4.0 which effectively precludes predatory behavior).

Keep. I understand the frustration here, but this is not a criterion, no? It reminds me a little bit of the famous macaque selfie, which led to a takedown notice sent to Wikimedia. Ultimately, the consensus was clear that if the free license (or in that case public domain status) was valid, then criterion #4 was fulfilled, regardless of the controversy. Featured Pictures celebrates the image, not the image-maker. blameless 02:09, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Blameless: This isn't about the image or the image-maker, it's about not endangering our reusers, which I hope is at least as important as our FP criteria. See WP:IAR. Nosferattus (talk) 03:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
