Image:Koh Samui Lipa Noi2.jpg - not delisted

Original nomination

• Its a sunset, its low res, got some problems with the picture(artifacts?, grainy?). Unless it is special in some way I don't know about or its one of a kind I dont see why it should be a FP. --Digon3 13:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep I see no reason to delist (Incedentally, have we adopted a policy for delisting?) Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass ^demandez 14:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Comment If this where to be put up for nomination today it would never make FP. Requirements have change since 2004 and being a pretty sunset (there wasnt hundreds of sunset pictures being nominated), was the only reason it was featured. It may have been good then, but not now. While it has a good foreground and background, everything else (General quality, Resolution, Value) is bad. Like it says in the guidelines, "almost all sunsets are pretty, and most of such pictures are not different in the essence from others". There is nothing special about this picture. --Digon3 18:10, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

  Still, I believe that requirements for delisting be substantially more stringent than listing. This clearly was considered by some to be a featured picture (with no opposition), regardless of our requirements. Furthermore, some sunset pictures are striking. We don't have a policy prohibiting sunsets. Cary "Bastiq▼e" Bass ^demandez 18:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Im not saying it should be delisted just because it is a sunset, Im saying it should be delisted because of everything else (General quality, Resolution, Value, technical quality). Over time, featured picture standards change. --Digon3 20:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

•  Delist Ss181292 22:14, 6 October 2006 (UTC) - we need only one (if any) picture of sunset featured, unless someone find (create) really special one.
•  Delist because of sunset, because of low res and because of terrible noise. Indon 01:27, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Delist All the above --Digon3 02:33, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep Beautiful sunset. Composition takes nice advantate of the setting. Resolution is adequate. Noise is controlled. Artistic merits far outweigh any perceived flaws in this stunning photograph. Fg2 05:44, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep Delistings should be restricted to severe errors of judgement, which was not the case here. Roger McLassus 07:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep Agree with Roger McLassus -- Alvesgaspar 08:53, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Delist it only has colours/composition going for it, the rest is sub-standard. Lycaon 09:03, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep per Roger McLassus. --MichaelMaggs 16:36, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep ack Roger McLassus --Erina 20:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Keep Francisco M. Marzoa 12:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Delist Visible noise in entire image and low-res --Leclerc 09:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Delist Rez, noise. --HereToHelp (talk) 02:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
•  Comment I think User:Roger McLassus is wrong in his judgement. Above we can read 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. The picture was featured looooong ago (November 2004), and some standards changed since then (for example standards of judgeing sunsets). Ss181292 21:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Standards for judging sunsets are -and must be- exactly the same that for other pictures, indeed. Francisco M. Marzoa 18:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
