SHORT DESCRIPTION

  •  Info There is nothing that makes this satellite picture stand out from other satellite pictures of major hurricanes of similar image sizes. Dennis was not even at peak intensity or at major hurricane strength in this picture. If I have to guess, the news coverage surrounding this hurricane was the only reason why this photo ever got featured the same month it was taken to begin with which is ironic considering that the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was just starting at the time. (Original nomination)
  •  Delist If we are going to feature satellite images of the most hauntingly beautiful or impressive looking hurricanes, then Isabel and Eta are much better candidates imo. --StellarHalo (talk) 11:25, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I don't like the idea of second-guessing decisions made at FPC. An FP should only be delisted if standards have risen so much that it clearly falls short, or if problems with the image (e.g. inaccurate diagram) are discovered which were not known at the time of the original nomination. This is a high quality 40 MP image. -- King of ♥ 17:44, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep per King --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 19:50, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment C'mon guys. You should be able to easily see all the unsharp/blurry areas. This is not an image I would call high quality. --StellarHalo (talk) 20:21, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist Per Stellar. Not the best satellite image of a hurricane, really, and given the direction the climate's going I'm regrettably sure that there will be even more visually striking ones to choose from. Daniel Case (talk) 22:27, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I wish I knew what the parallel lines at the bottom were, but this is IMO way too good to delist. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:10, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Far from outstanding amongst pictures in this class, but at the same time I feel like delist should be left for those images that were obviously a mistake to promote or else which fall a long way below current quality standards, and I'm not sure I see that here.

  •  Comment I get that some of you are not pleased that I have been on a delisting spree for months already but I promise you this is one of the last handful of FPs I am invested in delisting. What I am trying to say is that there a ton of satellite pictures of tropical cyclones like this with similar sizes and it does not make sense that this particular one should have the star. Also, I heavily doubt it would have been promoted had it been nominated at the end of 2005 with the likes of Katrina and Rita and those are from 2005 alone. Other years' hurricane seasons have Isabel, Irma, Harvey, and Laura to name a few. --StellarHalo (talk) 08:18, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist per nom. I, for one, very much appreciate your efforts to go through our old stuff and clean it up a bit. FPC is for the best of the best. Sometimes, what seems to be a huge deal at the moment will look very different with a few years of distance, and then we should be flexible enough to re-evaluate. Doesn't mean the voters were wrong at the time, they just didn't have the full picture yet. --El Grafo (talk) 13:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delist I don't think this is one of the best hurricane pics on Commons. Buidhe (talk) 14:18, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
