Reason: This photo is a great visualization of the Indian monsoon. It shows fishing boats, the lifeblood of the village Anjarle, lashed together tightly to protect from the unforgiving monsoon, whose clouds are visible behind the boats. It is already a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons and appeared as picture of the day on the Wikimedia Commons and the Bengali Wikipedia.
Articles in which this image appears: the FA India WP oldest country FA (to turn 16 this month) has had this picture in its Geography section for over a year now.

Oppose. This looks oversaturated to me, and many of the white areas such as the roof of the frontmost boat are overexposed to featureless white. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:50, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Please nominator, you need to link to most relevant articles. See FP guidelines. Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:40, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Image does not add value to articles and is incorrectly categorized for FP. This is not a natural phenomenon. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:58, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support It has been in the FA India in the Geography section—as an illustration of the monsoon—since September 2019. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 06:00, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well it doesn't illustrate a monsoon. The description is speculative and I have removed it from the article on India. Adam Cuerden DreamSparrow TheFreeWorld Fowler&fowler «Talk» Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:04, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm very sorry but I've reinstated the picture in India where the tradition is to add, remove, or replace pictures only during the annual or biannual, image discussions. Without that, a page with > 40K views a day would be in a mess. The next discussion is in (this upcoming) November. What exactly would be an illustration of an Indian monsoon anyway? An ordinary, anonymous, downpour, indistinguishable from those in Bangladesh, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, ...? The pictures need to illustrate specific text. (Until last September we had two pictures showing the monsoon (part of a daily rotating template in Geography): File:NDRF in Bihar Flood 2.jpg and an FP File:Agasthiyamalai range and Tirunelveli rainshadow.jpg, both illustrating the text there.) I'm the primary author of India. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 15:40, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've already pinged Charlesjsharp, but would @Adam Cuerden, David Eppstein, and Mydreamsparrow: like to be judges in November? It would really help us out. We can work out something whereby you won't be importuned unduly. I will soon write a proposal on Talk:India and can ping you. Best, Fowler&fowler «Talk» 15:51, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Fowler&fowler: Insofar as I can. I'm not Indian, and can't speak on things like, say, which Indian monuments or cities most deserve pictures, but I can try and advise as far as I can. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.4% of all FPs} 17:22, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Adam Cuerden: I'm not either. Nationality or citizenship is not a requirement, might even be a plus for NPOV. I think we need advice on an image's quality more than its appropriateness for the text. ( Recently, for example, someone objected to a picture File:Kurta traditional front sandalwood buttons.jpg (of our son, now an adult, but 15 at the time) as a part of an illustration of Kurta, a collarless shirt. The objection was: "Extremely low quality image. Low relevance. Probably violates children Personality rights. Just not an image for a FA." It is those kinds of issues I'm not very good with.

What is this 'tradition is to add, remove, or replace pictures only during the annual or biannual, image discussions.' User:Fowler&fowler? This is news to me as a regular Wikipedia editor. Please explain asap. As far as I know, any editor can edit any article at any time. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:09, 6 September 2020 (UTC). And to revert my good faith edit may be considered edit-warring which is not recommended. As a matter of fact, these boats are NOT secured ready for a monsoon. Any seaman could tell you that.
