Unexplained image removal

[edit]
File:A WikiGnome editing wikis.png
A WikiGnome editing Wikipedia

Gnom (talk · contribs) reverted the image on the right with edit summary Let's maybe keep AI-generated imagery out of this page. As far as I can see there is no explanation/reason for the removal and I'd like to readd it.

I think it's better than the other images on this page of which I removed none and is the only that shows a gnome using a computer to edit and the most relevant/useful/appropriate/illustrative/high-quality on the page. For comparison, the image below is kept on this page and the other other images in it are low-resolution drawings about gnomes in general (well one next to the Wikipedia logo).

@Prototyperspective I can't point you to a specific conversation, but I saw elsewhere that AI-generated imagery is generally considered verboten. I suspect because it is a slippery slope with no clear boundaries and no bottom. (At least not at this time. Perhaps eventually there will be parameters for AI imagery.)

I object to the AI image because it nauseates me. The old school, current image does not have that effect on me. Marcus Markup (talk) 04:52, 15 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
Following up on the page provided above, I found this, which is the reason this image is not allowed: WP:AI-IMAGES Ghost writer's cat (talk) 03:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
How about that 2024 Wikimania image of the WikiGnome holding a computer with the Wikipedia logo displayed on the screen? Loc863 (talk) 19:57, 8 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
