• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds/Pelecaniformes#Genus : Ardea
•  Info created by Vengolis - uploaded by Vengolis - nominated by Moheen -- ~Moheen ^{(keep talking)} 16:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support -- ~Moheen ^{(keep talking)} 16:52, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Comment We have 19 FPs of this very common species. More than enough. They are not all the finest on Commons and this, though high technical quality, is not a compelling no. 20. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:23, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support even though Charles J Sharp has a very valid point, this shot is of better quality and offers more documentary value than some of those currently featured imho. If this one does reach sufficient support I would like to suggest to delist one or several of the featured ones if one wants to keep the numbers of featured Ardea Albas low --Virtual-Pano (talk) 23:11, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
• Conditional  Support Per Virtual-Pano; it is really high quality, but we'd have to delist some of the other photos of the same subject. Relativity (talk) 02:11, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support - ABAL1412^{🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺} (talk ☭) 07:17, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support I see at least two that should be delisted anyways --Kritzolina (talk) 08:35, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

• this one, this one and this one might be a start. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:32, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

• All 3 still look good to me. I have lower standards for delisting an FP than for supporting a new one. But the picture in the mangroves is nice as an environmental picture and one I'd probably vote for if it were newly nominated. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:39, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

• Tricky decisions. But 20 FPs of one species just cannot be right. It devalues the award. We have 15 lion FPs, but the diversity of compositions and 'Wow!' is so much greater. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

•  Support --Llez (talk) 16:45, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Charles: good, but a little dark and not terribly exciting to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:23, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support --Palauenc05 (talk) 08:04, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support Good enough for me. 20 upper 12:41, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Weak support --Aristeas (talk) 12:38, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Neutral Per Charles. High quality but trivial background. ★ 11:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
•  Support --Yann (talk) 09:40, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
