 Question Dear Dantadd, why you think this should be a FP ? --Makro Freak 08:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
This should be a FP because is a rare and good quality picture, taken by an important author, picturing a very important moment in Brazilian history (the guy on the center, because of the action captured in the picture, was president (dictator) of Brazil during 15 years!). In a few words: the image captured a defining moment of history. Dantadd 13:34, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's a pretty good quality picture, with a very good B&W composition, picturing very nitid faces. It has not the resolution I'd wanted, but it's absolutely enough for a picture taken in 1930. But now this election is already over with you "oppose" votes. There's no turning back, it's the bad habit of digital pictures, we get spoiled. Dantadd 15:12, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The requirements state clearly that some rules can be broken with good reasons and I already presented them. I didn't expected this kind of biased criticism, you even want to delist the picture, a nasty action in opinion. I resignate myself. Dantadd 15:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I chose to vote delist due to the basic FP requirements not being met. And, after all, I carry only one vote, which I sincerely ask you to accept without the accusation of me victimizing you. Thank you. --Digitaldreamer 15:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're not victimizing me, but this very good and interesting picture, but ethnocentrism is something a lot of people simply don't see. Dantadd 17:16, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
result: 1 support, 3 oppose, 0 neutral => not featured. (Rule of the 5th day) Simonizer 21:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
