Oppose, without the original size of the image I cannot make a definitive assessment, but this seems like a mediocre scan. If you can provide the original size of the image and it is sufficiently small therefore making this scan relatively large please tell us. gren グレン 16:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Size is a bit small, needs to be cropped on the left side. Kaldari (talk) 23:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Small size, patchy. How big is the original? J Milburn (talk) 01:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose doesn't meet size requirements, poor quality Thisglad (talk) 02:34, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Doesn't meet size requirement. Rj1020 (talk) 04:19, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy close. Nowhere near requirements. Nominations from this user are looking more and more like either trolling (refer especially here) or a personal obsession. Furthermore, suggest any future nominations from User:Otolemur crassicaudatus are done through a neutral intermediate who can gauge their suitability first (previous noms have generated substantial discussion and bad feeling, and though user has claimed he now understands the criteria, either that is incorrect, or he is now deliberately ignoring criteria and community feeling). --jjron (talk) 08:26, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - fails size requirements (even with possible historical excuse), no reason given for nom (is anal sex a reason now?), possible bad faith nom as per jjron. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 09:24, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong oppose - Terrible quality, size below requirements, no apparent historical value. Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:23, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Poor quality, and lacks interest. It appears that Otolemur crassicaudatus has an interest in promoting erotic art - and, while I feel that candidates for the main page should take into account the impact on the readership, I can see that a stunning and notable piece of erotic art would make an interesting FP. Édouard-Henri Avril is a pornographic artist who has done much racier pictures than this - but I don't think any of his images are of the quality that would justify being FP. An artist like Aubrey Beardsley might provide a more acceptable and appropriate erotic art image. SilkTork *^YES! 14:43, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
