•  Oppose sorry, but I see a simply scan from a manuscript. It can be a high VI, but I can't see any featured. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 16:22, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Why can't a scan from a manuscript be featured ? These are of significant historical and illustrative merit, showing the method of a seventeenth century scientist. --Claritas (talk) 18:47, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

This is simple my opinion. The name of this side is: "Featured picture candidates" and not "Featured manuscript candidates". But we can wait for other votes and opinions. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 20:02, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

You have every right to your opinion, but I feel that you're putting aesthetics before educational value. --Claritas (talk) 22:36, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

•  Oppose Agree with alchemist. i thinlk it is not well fit for the scope of FP. Very high value though. Yesterday, I was just sitting and browsing these exact pages and found it rather interesting, although I also found much of it hard to read and understand. Feel free to start, FM, and discuss the scope and setup for such a project. At least that is how I initiated VI... --Slaunger (talk) 22:52, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

 I withdraw my nomination - thanks for the input. I think FM would be possible in the future, and I'll give some thought as to how it might be implemented. Claritas (talk) 10:38, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
