Delist — TheHistoryBuff101 (talk) 20:29, 17 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - No way. The replacement image may be larger, but it has a universal yellow tint to everything that's muddling the colors. Look at the white fringe on Nelson's ribbons and notice how they're yellowed in the replacement. The uniform has lost its hue as well. -- Veggies (talk) 13:38, 27 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think we don't promote TIFF files because of accessibility. I would support if the replacement was in JPEG. It has a reliable source. Bammesk (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This nomination was added to the FPC page with this edit, so I fixed the expiry date based on its timestamp. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 02:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The TIFF version has original colors because it was common to leave this yellow tint and additionally it is layer added that happens with the passage of time, a faithful representation of reality. However, I agree that a JPEG needs to be developed from the TIFF for its best representation in browsers preferably using RGB. --The_Photographer (talk) 19:43, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: Another Place3 edit2.jpg

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 13 Apr 2020 at 13:08:27 (UTC)

Reason: Blown highlights, zero detail in the sculpture—It may as well be three naked people standing on the beach for all the viewer can tell. The sculpture article already has closeups in daylight of the individual figures, giving the reader a much clearer perspective on what a portion of the work actually looks like up close. Thus, both the technical qualities and EV are lacking in this picture.

Delist this looks like one of those old photos from the late 2000s; surely a better-composed picture of this sculpture can be obtained? – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 04:11, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. The criticisms of the nomination are valid. I think this is too much about getting an artsy shot and not enough about clearly depicting the subject to be encyclopedic. (To be fair, I think the same thing about many of my own shots. But then, I haven't tried listing any of them for FP...) —David Eppstein (talk) 06:04, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kept --Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 13:17, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There is not enough support for delisting this image, and it's still used in Another Place (sculpture). Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 13:17, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm disappointed that I missed the voting for this nomination. This is objectively a very poor quality image and I find it hard to believe that this was ever selected as a FP. The photo's foreground is completely underexposed while the sky is blown out. I agree that this does a poor job of depicting the intended subject. -- mcshadypl ^T ^C 04:44, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

and above comment by mcshadypl pretty much sums up why I gave up with Wikipedia ~15 years ago not long after I uploaded the image - which was taken during the winter at sunset - hence the dark foreground, which was an accurate representation of what it actually looked like. 15 years ago there was a lot less content on wikipedia and digital cameras were in their infancy, having not long graduated from film at the time. Maybe it's an 'very poor quality image' and does a 'poor job of depicting the intended subject', however it's widely used on quite a number of various language wikipedias. Anyway, whatevs'. Maybe I'll log in to wikipedia again some time in the next 15 years. chowells (talk) 20:42, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delist: Petrified forest log

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 Apr 2020 at 23:10:00 (UTC)

Reason: It no longer meets the minimum resolution for an FP. Further, it really isn't used in a way that present the image in a compelling way beyond all other similar pictures on Wikipedia. Beyond that, there is already a suitable FP alternative at File:Petrified wood closeup 2.jpg.

Keep. I think for this still to be used in such core articles shows its value; it is the main image in the 'Fossils' section of the 'Plant' article. I think a whole log in context has value separate to the other FP. Resolution requirements aren't retrospective. TSP (talk) 21:10, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - this image was nominated for delisting two years ago (Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/Deep Impact Probe Collision) for this very reason and was kept. Nothing has changed.

Keep. An image which has high EV in its own right (rather than merely for what it depicts) should be judged for what it is. It's irreplaceable, and should not be judged by the standards for replaceable images. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:46, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alt1 – half as cropped (CSS image crop)

I agree regarding the over-crop. I prefer the original. It was probably cropped just for infobox use. Bammesk (talk) 03:04, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that the current FP is aesthetically better, but the aspect ratio really doesn't work well for infobox use (even the cropped version still overwhelms the vertical space).

Delist: Lower Manhattan, 2006

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 Apr 2020 at 22:34:47 (UTC)

Lower Manhattan in 2006

Reason: Qualitatively, it's fine, but it is no longer used on any articles where it has any encyclopedic value. One article is of the Staten Island Ferry, which does not appear in the picture. The second is of a general article on architects, having nothing to do with New York exclusively, where the picture appears on the bottom, below the citations, without any caption or relevance. Additionally, there are TWO featured pictures that could easily replace this one in both articles. The first is File:Staten Island Ferry terminal.jpg. The second is File:Lower Manhattan from Jersey City November 2014 panorama 3.jpg.

Delist per nom; also obsolete (without historical significance) since the new WTC has been built. – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 01:13, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This remains a very high quality photo, and photo showing lower Manhattan's skyline during the period between the terrorist attack and the completion of the new WTC is of considerable historical significance. I imagine it could be used in articles on the aftermath of the terrorist attack or the history of New York City. Nick-D (talk) 11:12, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sudeten German woman cries while performing Nazi salute during the annexation of Sudetenland, 1938

Reason: Unfortunately, the image looks overprocessed (compare lower res Bundesarchiv version). It also has limited encyclopedic value because this reaction was decidedly the minority one among Sudeten Germans.
Articles this image appears in: Previously used in History of Czechoslovakia where it has little EV; I replaced with File:Bundesarchiv Bild 146-1970-005-28, Anschluss sudetendeutscher Gebiete.jpg as sadly this was a more typical scene. Not currently used in any mainspace articles.

Delist: Suicide of two Japanese Imperial Marines

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 16 Jul 2020 at 16:37:27 (UTC)

Courtesy collapse of graphic content on a page not about the graphic content, and which is being actively used for other content
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Two Japanese Imperial Marines who committed suicide by shooting themselves rather than surrender to U.S. Marines, Tarawa, Gilbert Islands in the Pacific.

Reason: I don't want to delist this for being graphic. We've had dead bodies on the Wikipedia mainpage before; we'll probably have them again. But it's such a bad reproduction of the photo that my urge for not censoring the main page wars with the overblown whites and dismal dark of the shadows. It's from 2007. That probably explains a lot.

Reason: A person was cropped out on the left. The flag - somewhat transparent in the original, as befits one with a bright sky behind it, has been turned solid. It's just an over-manipulated image.

Comment: Good to see you back, Chris, even if it is just for the odd housekeeping matter. I note that we have min:Roosilawaty and id:Roosilawaty, so this image may be a good addition to those articles at least. Josh Milburn (talk) 20:25, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @J Milburn: I know it's a pain, but not putting a colon before links to other language Wikipedias used to be how the sidebar was populated with articles in other languages, and it technically still works, meaning your statement came out as "I note that we have and, so this image may be a good addition to those articles." I've fixed it for you by adding a colon before "min:Roosilawaty" and "id:Roosilawaty". Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.4% of all FPs} 11:49, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yes, good spot! Josh Milburn (talk) 14:19, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - I probably over-explained. I just really hate editing other people's comments, y'know? Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.4% of all FPs} 16:35, 13 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Are there any barriers to creating a stub on Roosilawaty to save this FP? (not notable per WP:BIO or similar?) Google Books shows some resources on her, but they're unfortunately almost all in Indonesian. Nick-D (talk) 02:31, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And decent enough articles on a couple of other Wikipedias. I've asked at WikiProject Indonesia. Josh Milburn (talk) 13:13, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is there any chance we could put this on hold for a week or two to see if we can rustle up an article? Josh Milburn (talk) 13:15, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd support that, as it seems likely that a stub could be created. Nick-D (talk) 05:12, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: We also have another nice image of Chitra Dewi: File:Chitra Dewi, c. 1960, by Tati Studio.jpg. @Adam Cuerden: In your view, would it have a shot? Josh Milburn (talk) 13:27, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@J Milburn: I have some slight doubts about some of the proportions in that image. Her head looks a little stretched, and maybe that's just an optical illusion, but it's odd enough that I'd want some confirmation of the scan before proceeding.
