- Support I was feeling a sense of deja vu, but I suppose I saw this at QIC, or did you previously nominate a similar file that didn't pass at FPC? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:46, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Very likely at QIC, as this one is unique in its kind and has never shown up previously. Is it possible you confuse with that one, top-down view with people and lao flag? Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:21, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- No, not possible. I probably just saw this at QIC. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:57, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment breathtaking scenery. I'd love to support a version without the guy --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:26, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Per Martin Falbisoner. Also, I don't think those environmentally polluting engines belong in that vulnerable biotope!--Famberhorst (talk) 09:59, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Support --Cmao20 (talk) 10:38, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Neutral I would support such an image without the guy. So it looks like a tourist photograph. The motorcycle seems to be part of the equipment of the mountain summit. --XRay talk 11:09, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Question Is the motorcycle a replacement for a cross? There is a chain at the front wheel. --XRay talk 11:06, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- This chain is certainly a security for those who get on the saddle, because the slope is steep as a cliff just behind. There's no track to ride a motorbike to that place, accessible only via a slippery climb. The vehicle was routed there some years ago by experimented climbers equipped with ropes. Unexpected item whose purpose may be to question its origin -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:37, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose Per XRay, a cool Facebook image, but the guys spoils the scene IMHO Poco a poco (talk) 14:44, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose per Poco --StellarHalo (talk) 19:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- Question Is Basile exempt from the "only two active nominations per user" rule? StellarHalo (talk) 19:32, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- He only nominated 2, the other is a third party nomination. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:36, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination I asked the guy not to stare at my camera but he didn't listen 🙉 ;-) Thanks everyone for the votes and subjective reviews -- Basile Morin (talk) 23:53, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
