I would also like to point out that the first successful deletion of an
autofellatio picture only occurred well after a vandal had exploited a
loophole to turn many talk pages into illustrations of autofellatio.
I take great pleasure in pointing out that, even so, prior to a very
substantial vote packing effort on the last Autofellatio vote (the one on
the new image) the keep vote was about twice as strong as the delete vote.
Even when desperate, blatantly unethical measures were taken, there was no
consensus to delete. The copyright objections had been satisfied and the
vandalism had been curtailed by a code fix.  Thus the day was won by the
merit of having a GDFL-compatible picture of a man sucking his own penis
available to illustrate an article about that encyclopedic and otherwise
rather incredible subject.
