As delightful and charming a picture this is, at 640px by 480px it's far too small by modern FPC standards.

  • Nominate and delist. - CountdownCrispy ( ? 15:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delist, far too small and not detailed enough Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. If the only reason for delisting is that it's too small, why not just ask User:Solipsist if he can supply a larger one? howcheng {chat} 16:21, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • This has been done but unfortunately [[User:Solipsist|] remains adamant that he does not wish to upload a larger image. Whilst this is obviously entirely up to him, it does unfortunately mean that an image that (perhaps unlike some which he highlighted) would definitely benefit from being available in a size where you can see greater detail looks like it might well be delisted. A shame. -- CountdownCrispy ( ? 18:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep I don't believe size is a good reason, 'per se', to delist older pictures. I also think this is a delightful and charming picture, and it will continue to be indepenedentely of technological evolution. - Alvesgaspar 22:39, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delist too small, not amazing. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 14:55, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Alvesgaspar --Fir0002 22:15, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Size alone is not a sufficient reason for delisting. howcheng {chat} 16:31, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral. It's a shame Solipsist won't provide a bigger version just to make a point. In my opinion, this is definitely not the time and place to do it, but it is his right. However, isn't the only criteria, and I we can't delist it just for that. NauticaShades 20:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't think he's just doing it to make a point, he seems to have gotten this picture from someone else to upload, so I don't think he has a higher res version Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Actually, he's the photographer. howcheng {chat} 19:32, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
ah, that's what I get for not actually following the links in the file description. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 21:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Delist If a higher resolution is available. The picture doesn't have the WOW factor anyway and if the creator is not going to upload a higher resolution, he won't have the chance to renominate it for FP again. Size is not enough to delist, but If we are sure that a higher resolution is available, then this should go. would Support If the author would just make a little effort and upload the bigger one. I agree with User:Nauticashades. By the way, the author has so many other amazing photos that can't become FP because of their size. Such a pity. --Arad 00:49, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Kept as a featured picture (4 delist / 3 keep / 1 neutral). --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
