This picture no longer meets the criteria for WP:FPC and should be delisted.

  • It is not a high quality picture. It was rendered with cheap software.
  • The image is way below 1000 px. (even though it's software rendered)
  • There are other better Mandelbrot set pictures. (one is already featured, and one is a nominee)
  • It has a free license.
  • It adds value to only 1 article.
  • It is accurate.
  • Doesn't look very good compared to other complex analysis images.
  • It has a good caption.
  • It is neutral.

  • Comment It could easily be rerendered with higher resolution by the linked code. Your only complaint seems to be resolution, and that can be easily fixed. "Cheap software" is irrelevant. Many of our best images were created with free tools like Inkscape, POV-Ray and Blender. Mediawiki itself is cheap. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 16:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Many of our FPs only illustrate one article. howcheng {chat} 16:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - I would choose to keep it if the resolution was changed. --Ineffable3000 18:59, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep per Night Gyr and Howcheng Imaninjapirate 21:15, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. High quality image, except for size. I tried to draw a larger version myself but couldn't figure the parameters used by User:Evercat. I have left a message to him. --Bernard 17:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, although I prefer the slightly prettier version here. SnurksTC 08:36, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Size shouldn't be the only reason to delist something, and it meets all the other criteria. NauticaShades 10:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Delist I know fractals are very impressive, but their very nature allows for very high resolutions. I would not support a fractal image unless it was very high resolution. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 16:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep Beatiful image of a less common type of fractal. I'll agree to delist when a better resolution comes up.Alvesgaspar 19:42, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
