Austrian Barrel Organ edit

A barrel organ player in Austria

Reason: This is an older nomination (previous discussion) that doesn't meet current resolution and quality standards. It's low resolution, the focus is a little wonky, and there is some minor artifacting visible.
Nominator: mattb

Regretful Delist I love the composition and the guy's expression (so gentlemanly!), but the nom is absolutely correct as far as quality goes.--HereToHelp 21:44, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Yeah, when I stumbled across it I was really hoping to find a high res version myself. It would be great if one could be found... -- mattb 02:01, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist not because it meets current standards (I still disagree strongly with delistings based only on changes in listing rules) but because it doesn't seem to even meet the criteria back when it was listed and probably shouldn't have been put up originally.

Comment I love the photo, and I notice in the original nomination the author provided comment on his love of the photo as well. Has the author been contacted to confirm if a higher res version is available? I'd hate to see this one go. Beeawwb 07:35, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - other images have a worse res and still they remain to be FPs Booksworm Talk to me! 17:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have contacted the photographer - he, however is a user on the Polish Wikipedia and I do not know how well he speaks English - if he does at all... (If you do speak Polish, please assist with this issue) Booksworm Talk to me! 20:12, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's also the JPEG artifacting everywhere. Anyway, feel free to point out such low-res images so we can discuss their FP status as well. This image wouldn't be promoted today, and I don't believe in grandfathering featured pictures (or articles) in to old standards. -- mattb 20:52, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep One of my all time favourite FP's, I think this image is certainly still worthy of the title --Fir0002 07:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Photographer has contacted me and he has said that he will attempt to upload a higher-res version of this image.... Booksworm Talk to me! 11:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can manage it, that would be great.--Here T oHelp 20:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So based on the message from the photographer, isn't this nomination suspended then? I want to move the nomination, but I'm not too sure if it is suspended. Jumping cheese ^Cont@ct 05:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, it is. MER-C 09:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep even if a new version is not uploaded. Spikebrennan 17:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist – This just isn't FP standard. Makes a mockery of the whole process if this is kept. (No one would support this picture if it were nominated now would they?) Centy – reply• contribs – 23:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment How can you determine that the community wouldn't support this as an FPC? Booksworm ^{Sprechen-sie Koala?} 20:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. --Ghirla^-трёп- 12:03, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Delist Color contrast is WAY to high, crushed blacks and blown whites are everywhere. It is too small. The Crop is to tight. There is visable motion blur only subtle because of extreem downsampleing. Colors are oversaturated because of the astronomicaly enhanced contrast. -Fcb981 16:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - cool, but too small and too edited to meet current criteria by a long shot. I haven't been around long enough to know what criteria it was nominated under, but I don't mind changing the featured pictures list to keep up with the current standards.

Delist :( It is a wonderful subject, yet this fails the quality mark by a long shot. vlad§inger ^tlk 03:38, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per other delisters. --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:41, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Almost three months with no higher-quality version uploaded and a consensus to delist. If a higher quality image is uploaded, it can go through the FPC process for a week as the other FPC's, as several votes agree that simply larger res wouldn't make it a "slam dunk." --Peter 21:12, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
