Review (criteria)	Best in Scope --Palauenc05 (talk) 10:36, 30 December 2022 (UTC)  Comment I am concerned that with nominating many part-finished sketches we are a very long way from the VI guidelines: Not every work of art is worth a Valued Image scope. A scope is justified for instance if the work is the most significant work (or one of the most significant works) of an artist having an article on its own on any Wikipedia, or if it is a seminal work in some way. Perhaps Archaeodontosaurus you could propose some changes to the guidelines? Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:53, 30 December 2022 (UTC) It all depends on the notoriety of the author. If a simple sketch is piously preserved in a public collection, there is no problem: it is eligible. A work by an unknown artist in a private collection will seem suspicious to me and will probably be rejected. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:11, 31 December 2022 (UTC) If so, then you do need to propose a change to the VI guidelines which I would be happy to support. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:20, 2 January 2023 (UTC) Common sense is enough. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:19, 3 January 2023 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
