Reason
A nice enough photo, but doesn't overly strike me as FP standard on a few counts. Not sure of EV - no longer used in any articles. Not sure about the little girl - to me she reduces EV, some may argue she adds compositionally to the photo. Original nom here. --jjron (talk) 14:27, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep and add to appropriate article. I think it's actually quite well-done, and to a high technical standard. And trams are meant to carry people, after all. An empty tram would be much less encyclopaedic. It's also an incredible feat of photography, in that it almost perfectly captures the feel of a 1920s illustration, which is, of course, ideal for a tram of that age.

  • Comment You're right that trams are meant to transfer people of course, but that doesn't seem to be happening here; this looks much more like a holiday snapshot of someone's kid, who happened to be sitting in an old tram. She's the part in best focus. Even ignoring that, this really just looks like any old bus from the inside. Surely the distinctive bits would be on the outside?

Not...really. There's a definate 20s/30s look and feel to that tram. The outside is ALSO encyclopaedic, but the inside is as well. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 22:55, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • There were no 1920-s tram in regular operation in 2002. The last surviving Vienna tram of 1920s, type M/m (1928-1929), was completely retired by 1979 (stadtbahn type N1/n2 operated to 1982, but these were 1950s bodies on 1920s bogies). The photo looks like a plain Type E/c to me - a 1960s model, very common to date. NVO (talk) 08:49, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delist. Seems more appropriate to feature on Commons than here. Not especially encyclopedic (thus why it isn't in any articles). Kaldari (talk) 19:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delist Just seems like a good quality snapshot. crassic![talk] 02:00, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
