Rock, Paper, Scissors chart

This image struck me in its effective presentation of the basic concept behind the game Rock, Paper, Scissors.This diagram's circular geometry juxtaposed with the asymmetry or the icons, depicted both in their manual and iconographic forms, conveys an almost tactile sensation. Looking at this picture one can imagine the dense weight and rough texture of the rock in contrast to the lightness and flexibility of the paper, threatened by the cold sharpness and mechanical action of the scissors. Many of us are already familiar with this popular game whose rules and equipment are almost universal, and most of us can configure our hands into the three simple gestures representative of these common objects in less than the time it takes to finish this sentence. The picture appears in the article Rock, Paper, Scissors, and seems to have been crafted by Horst Frank

Comment Just a note, the size is only 500x400. Pegasus1138^{Talk | Contribs | Email} ---- 04:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Too small. In fact it is just half of the requirement. Even if that is fixed I see nothing special about this image.say1988
Oppose A nice image, and thanks to whoever created it. However, not special or striking enough for FP (IMHO). I don't think the size matters much in a diagram so I would not think that alone should rule it out -Adrian Pingstone 15:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - the diagram is nicely done, but I think it's too simplistic to be a featured picture. Andrew (My talk · World Cup) 16:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, someone could make an interesting diagram on it, even though it's just a cycle as such. Resolution is too low here. Phoenix2 16:43, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Nice, but just not enough to reach featured status. G.H e 03:19, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I like the diagram, although it is quite boring... Cab02 02:43, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. With a universe of phenomena to chose from, you focus on rock, scissors and paper?? Of possible use a a marketing gimmick ("hey! i konw what that is!"), I suppose. but we really ought to aim higher. --Philopedia 16:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
