  •  Oppose Space pictures are a lot like sunsets. All very pretty. They have to be something special (like this one) to support. This one has banding and other issues. I'm sure there are good technical reasons for all of this, but I don't care for the quality and the content. I won't deny that it's pretty. -- Ram-Man 22:31, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Excuse me, "space images" fall inside our project scope ten times better than your average sunset. -- Cat chi? 23:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Either I misunderstand you or you misunderstand me. I'm referring specifically to featured picture requirements, not project applicability. There are many thousands of images that are not FP quality but are extremely educational and useful. I'm not worried about whether or not this image is educational, because clearly it is. In fact, project applicability should be a core/basic requirement for all FP candidates. The reason that guidelines discuss sunsets is because by their very core nature they are beautiful, so beauty alone is not enough for a FP. These "space pictures" are similarly almost always very beautiful. If beauty was the main reason to add them, then there would be no reason to vote. Just automatically make them FP. Looking at the technical quality of this image, there are defects, not the least of which is banding and streaking. The banding also distracts from the beauty. This is art and art is inherently subjective. Obviously people disagree with me, and that's fine. -- Ram-Man 01:23, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    There are many pictures of sunsets. Making all good ones as featured wouldn't make sense. This space object does not have another "Featured" version so your approach is flawed IMHO. -- Cat chi? 17:26, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    That's because my reasoning is not totally clear from the above statement. From my evaluation criteria: "Not all useful and thoeretically best images of a particular subject should or need to be featured pictures" (emphasis added). -- Ram-Man 17:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
