Oppose Fails criterion #3 - not among Wikis "best" work. --Janke | Talk 16:56, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Janke, how so? in what way? can you elaborate. Bammesk (talk) 02:57, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's "best" work entices you to learn more - IMO, this photo doesn't - and, in fact, neither do most photos of shoes or any other commercial products. A photo needs to be really exceptional to cross the bar and worthy to become a FP. But of course, opinions here are subjective, everyone is entitled to his/her own. --Janke | Talk 08:50, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Criterion #3 says: "best examples of a given subject", "It illustrates the subject in a compelling way, making the viewer want to know more". A key word is "subject", not Wikipedia as a whole. For this subject (i.e. for this video game), IMO this photo does fulfill criterion 3. As you say, it's a subjective call. Bammesk (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose The other picture is much more useful, though not FP quality. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
