• Oppose - Nice image, but unfortunately, this image does meet the minimum size of 1500px in each dimension (featured picture criteria). Especially considering we have obtained many satellite images of very high resolution, I don't think we can make an exception here. Thank you for submitting :) Jujutacular (talk) 14:07, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Although it's slightly below the recommended size of 1500×1500, this image is unique to most satellite images. You can see the national airport and roads, which you can't in any current featured satellite images. Nauru, being a small country in the middle of nowhere, also has barely any satellite images taken of it. H. W. Calhoun (talk) 14:14, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't know, it's pretty clear in Google Maps... Can zoom in much closer, and see more detail... gazhiley 14:47, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose per Jujutacular. gazhiley 14:51, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose definitely not up to snuff with modern publicly available satellite images. Plus the source say's it's aerial and not satellite, so it's even worse. — raekyt 16:22, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
