Support as nominator – ArionStar (talk) 04:37, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain and ⚠️ warning as photographer / uploader.

Not playing this game with blocked user ArionStar who seems to have fun using sockpuppets to SPAM my talk page very recently on Commons.

I would be grateful if maintenance workers / administrators speedy close this nomination that may embarrass everyone in case of probable failure, since the photo is not the head image of the article and just a ridiculous provocation. Not sure the rules on Wikipedia allow a "creator" to withdraw someone else's nomination like here on Commons.

For the record, 3 sockpuppets of ArionStar have been blocked last 5 days on the main image platform for similar provocations.

Only the nominator can withdrawn a nomination and I don’t see any reason to speedily close this. Regards, Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 06:18, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Ambrust, for the clarification on this point. Now if you want my point of view concerning the "encyclopedic value" of this photo, as requested per WP:WIAFP, I honestly believe a worm's-eye view has an artistic value,💡fine for the purposes of Commons but much less an encyclopedic one, suitable for this project. For this subject, the accent of the illustration should be made on a simple / descriptive appearance of the tower. Proportions are totally altered in comparison to the current head image of the article. All the best -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:32, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Given that Basile Morin has been involved in the investigation on Commons to help discover ArionStar's massive sockpuppetry, and given that he has been vocal in calling out Arion's behaviour, I would suggest that for Arion to nominate one of Basile's photographs that is likely to fail is a form of taunt or harassment.

He is the mockery in person. @Basile Morin: just play the game, I beg! ArionStar (talk) 15:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, Cmao20. The above comment, just after this, this, this... speaks volumes about this individual's intentions. Simply {{withdraw}} to be reasonable. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Simply no for now. ArionStar (talk) ArionStar (talk) 17:13, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
