- Info Not in SVG, quite small for a digital map, crop on the right edge too tight, the map layout is unsatisfactory with the legend box going past the bottom edge of the map creating a blank space below it, there is a narrow black space along the right edge of the map, the Baltic Sea is way too large with Scandinavia and the West Estonian archipelago left out even though they are relevant to Lithuanian history, the word "current" in the legend is missing a letter "r", Tallinn/Reval is depicted as an inland city even when it is actually a port, the Vistula river does not reach the Baltic Sea, the legend box is not rectangular at the angles, Navahrudak/Nowogródek is written over one of the borders, Krakòw is supposed to be located on the Vistula, the current Lithuanian border is badly written over its coastline even though the other borders are not, the Commonwealth border has its northern part in Livonia written out into the sea (Original nomination)
- Delist No serious publication on Lithuanian history would use this map -- StellarHalo (talk) 05:44, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delist per StellarHalo's excellent rationale. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:47, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delist The last attempt do delist barely failed with 6:0 votes for delisting, thanks for giving it another try. There are even more issues: the dashed outline of the 1236 Dutchy changes color where it overlaps with the 1920-1923 republic. Source of the geodata (I suspect OSM?) used for coastlines and rivers are not noted. Historical sources for the borders are missing as well. Labels frequently intersect with line features, and they do so in an ugly way that could easily be improved by adding some haloes. I'll repeat what I wrote in 2018: "I don't think it was all that great in 2006, and it certainly is not any more today. There's nothing special in this that would make it stand out among other maps, let alone induce a"wow"-effect." --El Grafo (talk) 07:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delist certainly could be useful in some Wikipedia articles, but not superlative. Buidhe (talk) 19:52, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delist per Buidhe. Tries to do an awful lot for one map; winds up overwhelming the reader. Daniel Case (talk) 21:05, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delist per others and my previous vote in 2018. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 23:11, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
