The image
[edit]@IndigoManedWolf even if the symbol is used by the organisation it is not a representative symbol of diabetes mellitus. It is not a common symbol as evidenced by it's lack of use elsewhere and is not illustrative of diabetes mellitus. See MOS:LEADIMAGE. I found the image to be surprising and not what I would expect when looking for diabetes mellitus. I've never once come across it when I've been researching/looking into human diabetes mellitus. Sacristy (talk) 02:23, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Sacristy Now it is my turn to be surprised, because in my own experience I have seen it a fair bit, but I can understand it being a symbol with varying use. Symbols exist more often for the sake of advocacy as opposed to representation for medical purposes, so it makes sense that when doing a literature review on diabetes that you would not encounter it. That its use varies from region to region does not make it inappropriate to include as a lead image, but if there is a reasonable depiction of diabetes with a medical diagram, I think that would be preferable to the blue circle. I would not remove the circle without having a more representative image to add. IndigoManedWolf (talk) 02:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- The only good images on Commons for this purpose would be
- This one would be good for a layperson if it were in English, but it might be a copyvio looking at the quality: Sacristy (talk) 02:37, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm in agreement, I have also been looking but have not found anything myself. That diagram in Spanish is about diabetes type 1, I would think that we either need one image that captures both, or two images, one for each. IndigoManedWolf (talk) 02:44, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- The pages for Diabetes type 1 and Diabetes type 2 also have the blue circle, so images specific to each are also useful there. IndigoManedWolf (talk) 02:53, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
