Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Dar es Salaam Panorama

Original

Reason: The DSM article does not have any FPs. This image, is of the few good images available of Tanzania and the only panorama. The image shows one of Dar es Salaams most expensive residential apartments, Elia Complex and the Muslim graveyard.
Caption: Dar es Salaam is the largest city in Tanzania. With a population estimated around 2,500,000, it is also the country's richest city and a regionally important economic centre. It has undergone much recent development with demolition of two storey buildings and replacement of taller ones. Much of the greenery, is however preserved.

Oppose Is there something particularly significant about what is illustrated in this picture? From what I can tell, this could be anywhere—the subject is a very small portion of the city, and the rest is largely out of view, so unless there's something about the Elia Complex or the graveyard that is unique to Dar es Salaam, I'm not seeing the encyclopedic value of this picture. thegreen J Are you green? 21:16, 14 December 2007
Oppose. A cemetery and a parking lot? Sure there are better ways of illustrating Dar es Salaam? --Janke | Talk 21:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Oppose - not very sharp and representative of the city (or so I hope).--Svetovid (talk) 12:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Support While boring, it does illustrate the city. -Shark face 217 22:47, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- True but merely illustrating an article is the absolute minimum to be used at all, the FP criteria are a bit more demanding. --Dschwen 14:05, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
  - Nice photo, good technically and illustrated the city --Hadseys (talk • contribs) 16:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
