A cutout from the picture, showing heavy distortions. This is not the worst part, but it is prominently featured near the center of the picture. For a nightmare, look at the right edge...
Info This picture should be delisted because it has heavy distortions at the edges of the photo and overall terrible quality, especially noticeable in the water beneath the bridge. (Original nomination)
Neutral Wow a current finalist of poty 2008 nominated for delisting. Scandal! :) But to be honest I also wondered a bit how it got there as imho the colours are a bit strange. But as the composition is nice and I am in general not a big fan of delistings I stay neutral. --AngMoKio (talk) 13:29, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Come on now people. Clearly this should be thought of as "should this picture be a featured picture" rather than "should this picture be delisted"? Smihael/Miha and Alvesgaspar, would you support this picture if it was nominated to be listed to begin with? If so, how can you ignore the terrible quality of the image? If not, why do you think it should be kept now? Plrk (talk) 20:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Info - Because quality is always improving and the gallery of past FP's reflect that evolution. Delisting them is to kill the memory. With the only exceptions of obvious erroneous judgements, which happen from time to time, I see no sound justification for doing that. Alvesgaspar (talk) 08:14, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not a reason but decency. I'am not a fan of delisting recently promoted pictures especially when they are part of the ongoing POTY 2008 poll. --Richard Bartz (talk) 09:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, unfortunately, by taking it to the POTY 2008 Final the Community, which is a higher authority than the few of us who actually vote at FPC, has decided that this is a worthy Featured Picture. Myself, I don't think it's anywhere near FP quality at all, but it's got to stay. --Aqwis (talk) 20:36, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- there is more to a great picture than the technical details of the digitization. that gets lost on here, sometimes... maybe we should consider some categories/sub cats, for quality ratings? Lx 121 (talk) 22:59, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
