File:Countries believe in astrology.PNG[edit]

Shortly, this appears to be out of scope nonsense, as lacking any kind of objective factual basis. "South Sudan converted to esoteric astrology"... really? Reventtalk 21:24, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm aware this is in use, however I strongly question describing any of those uses as 'legitimate'. Reventtalk 21:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Amitie 10g: The usage on the Somali wikipedia is in a recent creation by the uploader. The two on the Japanese wikipedia have been principally edited by the uploader. All three are flagged for lacking sources and consisting of original research. The file itself does not, and has never, quoted sources, and appears to have been repeatedly added to articles on various wikis for over a year, by what appears to be various incarnations of the same person, and repeatedly removed. It's pretty clearly not 'legitimate use', but if you insist I'll unlink it first and see if anyone squawks. They won't. It's being used for cross-wiki POV pushing.

Whm that makes sense. --Amitie 10g (talk) 23:17, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: I became aware of this problem when the uploader included it on an article he had created on Amharic wp about "Yemeni astrology", but when I asked him about the map he immediately removed it again without replying. The Amharic text of his article seems to have been done by google translate, which does not render idiomatic or correct text, aside from being full of wild and dubious claims. The "home" article for "Yemeni astrology" seems to be on Chinese wp, but he has recently introduced the topic into Amharic, Somali, Laotian and Khmer wikis as well. I think this would certainly be news to Amharic speakers that Ethiopia "believes in astrology" of any kind! Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 22:11, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This image already exists as [1]. AKS471883 (talk) 03:39, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Are you asking us to add that image to this DR? It appears to just be a clone of an old version of this. Reventtalk 04:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete I added the other map into the request below heading. Taivo (talk) 05:21, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
