Image:SFO at night.jpg not delisted[edit]

  • Originally promoted here

:  Info The photographer requested it be replaced with a lower res version, and it has been (although the hi-res version is still available from the images history). The new version has therefore inherited the FP label. So we need to delist the old one and re-nominate the new one to see if it still meets FP. But as the new one is over top of the old one it just becomes a single operation. A keep decision essentially gives the new version the FP tag, a delist decision means neither will be FP. If you want to argue that the original should never have been over-written then comment at Commons:Administrators'_noticeboard#Image:SFO_at_night.jpg --Tony Wills 11:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)Withdrawn --Tony Wills 10:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Delist That is quite evident I think. This is NOT the picture given FP status. Does it even have to go through the delist procedure? I is a different image, so there is no old one to delist!!! Lycaon 13:36, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well it is still there (we just can't see it as easily, but I thought it reasonable to offer up this version as an alternative in case its small size was mitigated by its wow :-). The decision to honour the photographers request is rather 'soft', please go comment on the admin noticeboard (as above) if you think it shouldn't have been done. --Tony Wills 21:53, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I really hope the hires image is restored, it's a great image. /Daniel78 21:58, 13 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment not that it is going to matter, but this should be a listing, not a delisting. Were the vote between 1:2 and 2:1 the difference would have been significant.  Delist of course. Regards, Ben Aveling 10:03, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I am in 110% agreement with Lycaon's comment above. We shouldn't be voting to delist this picture; we can't delist this picture because it is not an FP. I've removed the FP tag, and the other awards and left a note that another version of the image was so recognised. I hope that's not too bold.

Well, yes it is too bold, why bother doing that when there is a process in progress, with my reasons for doing it this way explained above? Why don't you just delete this discussion while you are at it ;-). I've been bold and reverted your edit ;-). Now if you want to be bold, simply revert the new version of the actual image instead (the full version is still there in the history). --Tony Wills 11:36, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have to admit, it was slightly tempting to move the discussion to Commons:Featured pictures candidates/Image:SFO at night.jpg (downsized). But I prefer your suggestion below. Regards, Ben Aveling 09:55, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The problem I have with this process is not that it will take a few days longer than direct action, the problem I have is that this is the wrong process. Supposed, for example, that the outcome was between 1:2 and 2:1, or that there were less than 5 votes - that is, that there was neither enough support to promote nor enough opposition to delist. Would you then say that this picture should be a featured picture or not? I acknowledge that this is a theoretical debate, but I'm guessing that this won't be the last feature picture to get replaced with a different version. Suppose for example, someone uploads a de-noised version of an FP they've taken, one which they believe is better, but other people disagree. Should not the new picture be an FP candidate? Why should this be different, why are we talking about delisting? Cheers, Ben Aveling 21:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I thought the cc license was not even revocable so why was the image replaced at all ? /Daniel78 22:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
result: image restored, delist vote nullified => not delisted. Tony Wills 10:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
