In despite of the small size WOW enough for me to keep it as FP. -- Christian Ferrer Talk / Images 08:11, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist I am no fan of delist nominations, but independently of the resolution this one does imho not deserve the FP seal. The iron background from the cage is very bad, also the dark shadow parts. --Tuxyso (talk) 12:28, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep an image was in the past featured! not today!!! This is and was for ever in the past, we can not "turm back time". All our FP have a time stap: featured at time XYZ ... --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:11, 26 October 2014 (UTC) ok the will of the author:  Delist --Alchemist-hp (talk) 19:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Please look up our guidelines on delisting images: Over time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. Thus, delisting FPs which no longer meet the latest requirements should be a quite normal procedure – as a matter of fact, this is the only delisting reason given in the guidelines! Your point is entirely irrelevant, sorry. --Kreuzschnabel 11:21, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per above --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 10:07, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • See above.--Kreuzschnabel 11:21, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Kreuzschnabel: It's high time to correct our rules/guidlines. I think this is a stupid rule for old images, because we have our time-stamp! I shall take the liberty to ignore "stupid" rules! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 11:35, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
        • I personally don’t consider this rule stupid because FP is a collection of the best images Commons has to offer, in present tense. The idea behind FP is not so much granting a never-revokable "well done" for the photographer but building up a selection of the very best media present. It’s quite natural that old media has to leave while new and better images get in. Of course the rules may be changed but not because they’re stupid in your eyes but as a result of a discussion considering all aspects. Until then, you ought to stick to them when voting here. Your suggestion adds up to discard delisting entirely. --Kreuzschnabel 12:27, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
          • I have my opinion, I have my opinion, I have my opinion! And at first most important step: please show me a better similar image on our commons libary. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:04, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
            • Good to read you’ve got your opinion, but I already was quite aware of that. But sorry once more – why would we need a better similar one? If we would, any ugly lo-res webcam photo would be featurable if there wasn’t a better similar one. You see this point is ridiculous. This is not VIC, we don’t look for one pic per subject. If there is just one image of a certain subject on Commons, we don’t have to feature it just because there’s no better one! It’s a very simple matter: This very image here is below today’s FP level and therefore it should today be delisted, even if it did reach FP level when it was featured. That’s all. EOD for me, let’s go on with the voting. --Kreuzschnabel 16:37, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Kreuzschnabel: , @Jkadavoor: So let's start to delist this one too:

very low quality image?

  • An image with a very low quality, artificially "high" resolution, very noisy, BW, exorbitant unsharp, but our rules says: eligible for a delist process :-)
  • I think you see now, that your arguments are also not conclusive. Happy voting, thant's the main :-) --Alchemist-hp (talk) 09:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist IMHO, a "formal FP" stamp is enough for this picture, now. Jee 16:47, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist per above. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:06, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per above, while we can use "wow" and "not wow", "in my taste" and refuse (close the eyes) a obvious technical flaws (I also do this, and it is my shame too) I have to agree with Alchemist. This is not a criticism! Is a weight into the balance, if we exercise rigor that is always (IMHO) ; ) -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 11:22, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist The image size is too small and the editing too obvious. I agree it is no longer FP standard. Thanks for the mail Alchemist :) (I'd protest about the "Closed eyes isssue" - its a picture of an expression. You know it - it's the "Streetch! Grooaan, Maaan the world is great today puurrrr" it is impossible to do with open eyes :P ) Anyway it's nice to know what happens with my FP pics - it looks stupid i brag about them on my userpage when they are delisted ;D Oh and just for the record it is probably time to delist the others too. They were taken with the same camera and therefore quite likely has the same size issues:
  • Barn swallow, (Hirundo rustica).

  • Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus).

I would be grateful if someone would see to it they get delisted too and that i get removed from the featured photographers list since i with this definitely am no longer entitled to be there. I barely know how to edit stuff in here any longer. Good luck in the future Wikimedia Commons. Yay for our cool project evolving. --Malene Thyssen (talk) 16:45, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You see me a bit bewildered now. Seven years ago there was no bitterness and personal offence (or did I mistake the previous paragraph?) in delisting an FP. If this was a verdict on your photographic skills altogether, I would have to disappear from Commons much earlier :-) --Kreuzschnabel 20:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wut? noo no bitterness here! I was here since some time 2002 and it's been so wonderful seeing Wikipedia and Commons grow over the years. The fact my featured pictures are being delisted only shows that we are getting better and better content. I don't contribute much these days - to the point i nearly forgot how to edit anything in here. But it is good to see there are still people with passion carrying on the torch :) --Malene Thyssen (talk) 17:48, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Salute thee...Very few have this attitude now-a-days..--The Herald 05:01, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Result: 9 delist, 3 keep, 0 neutral => delisted. Jee 09:23, 8 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
