Delist: Parts of the "Early Flight" set edit

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 21 Jan 2019 at 22:54:25 (UTC)

Reason: Quite simply, they aren't used in articles, and, offhand, I don't see any particularly good place where they could be used: the first two are random collections of images, and the third doesn't have a clear message. The last one might be salvageable. Original nomination was kind of weird, but it was from back in 2007. That said, this was a 22-item set, so that (apparently) 18 images are stable and in use is impressive. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs} 23:09, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep High quality images, should be added to Hot air balloon and Hot air ballooning. (Personal comment: I've used many of these in a half-hour documentary I did for Finnish TV. If anyone wants to see the movie, talk to me... ;-) --Janke | Talk 16:03, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Janke: I did discover the last one is replaced in articles with File:Flickr - …trialsanderrors - Zambeccari and his two compagnons in the Adriatic (1804), early flight collecting card, ca. 1895.jpg, which is similar, but has slightly less damage.

Delist Agree with nom, they are not used in any article, and though nice scans, they do not add EV to hot air balloon since we have much better photographs of those. Mattximus (talk) 13:46, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but we don't "have much better photographs of those" - these images show the pioneers, and photography wasn't yet invented at the time of these balloons / balloonists !!! ;-) --Janke | Talk 19:24, 13 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delist As not used, by definition they cannot be FP --Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:42, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Note: The middle image is now added to the page History of ballooning, so at leat that one is eligible. --Janke | Talk 15:27, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Since every subimage of that set is in articles except the third image in this set, I'm not so sure that's the wisest choice. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs} 16:43, 15 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I am inclined to Keep the two set-images. I added them to History of aviation#Balloons where five of the events are described, hoping the images stay there long term. If you disagree feel free to revert. Bammesk (talk) 03:03, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
If the two set-images (File:Early flight 02561u.jpg, File:Early flight 02562u.jpg) stick, then keep them. I guess the rest have to be delisted, unless someone else finds a home for them. MER-C 20:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Suspend nomination to give the first two images time to stabilize in articles. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 06:15, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus to delist the above two featured pictures. As the images are still used (were added back in an article more than seven days), it can retain that status. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 14:23, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
