Reason While other well-framed images with relatively-unobstructed shots of this structure exist, this image is of substantially greater resolution and quality than the others I checked in the category.—Notyourbroom (talk) 04:25, 8 November 2009 (UTC) -- —Notyourbroom (talk)[reply]
Review
(criteria)

 Comment There is already a VI for this scope : File:Cathedral of Learning 02.jpg, so please set up a Most Valued Review if you wish to nominate this new one. --Myrabella (talk) 22:33, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
 Question Oh, I see. I checked several images which appeared to be likely candidates to see whether there was already a valued image for the scope, but I did not see the one you linked to. For future reference, is there a simple way to check for existing VIs for a given scope, or must the search be done manually? —Notyourbroom (talk) 00:54, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is this list, but I agree that a search tool would be nice. I put it on my TODO-list, but I'm very busy IRL and it is not the ultimate priority with VI-related developments, so if somebody wanted to build a little search tool, I wouldn't be offended... --Eusebius (talk) 08:37, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Support This picture is unmatched in its framing, aesthetic value, lack of other structures confounding the frame and identification of the building, and high resolution detail. This is also the angle that, according to architectural historian Franklin Toker, best reveals its Gothic tracery, setbacks and corner pinnacles. (see p. 85 of Pittsburgh: An Urban Portrait) The value of the image for the Cathedral of Learning category, especially at the size displayed in typical Wikipedia articles, far outweighs any (minor) technical issues that may exist.
