Image:Aeshna cyanea - young male (aka).jpg, kept

EXAMPLE: FP of the same species

•  Info As per the rules, there are not supposed to be more than 1 FP of the same subject. Prior art: better composition, sharper and better DoF, and more interesting subject matter. Resolution of this image is on the low side (1800x1381) compared to the other versions. (Original nomination)
  •  Comment There may be multiple FP of the same subject, if there is a significant difference between them. For eg, there are several featured images of space shuttles. But agreed, in this case, the images are too close and we should only keep the better one.  Delist Ben Aveling 12:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Delist This has a distracting background and shadow compared to this image. -- Ram-Man 15:24, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Delist If the current picture can be (or has been) replaced by a superior image (same species!!), then delisting of the old one is advisable. Lycaon 17:37, 10 July 2007 (UTC) Lycaon 09:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
• WTF? This delisting is illegal. Wait until the nomination of 0627BgMosaikJungf3A.JPG is finished in 6 days. --Makro Freak ^talk 17:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
  • It's not illegal. It's perfectly acceptable to try to delist an image at any time. The image that will directly replace this one is going to succeed without a doubt. If the other image did not become a FP, that would only be more proof that this one should be delisted, because this version is worse. It is acceptable to delist images if a better alternative exists, even if (or especially if!) the better alternative is not a FP. There are also two other comparable FPs that are better than this one. -- Ram-Man 19:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

•  Neutral ich finde sie trotzallem sehr schön --Böhringer 13:42, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Keep Basik07 22:30, 16 July 2007 (UTC) I like both pictures but this one more then that on the right.
•  Keep This is a Commons:Wikimania Media Competition 2005/Winners! Lets keep this for historical reasons --Malene Thyssen 09:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Keep for reasons outlined by Malene Thyssen only. Lycaon 09:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)Lycaon 07:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Comment Delisting is not deletion. Just because it was "award winning" in 2005 doesn't mean it is award winning in 2007. -- Ram-Man 13:59, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Keep -- aka 14:30, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Delist I agree with Ram-Man. The fact that a better version exists indicates that it is time to delist - even if it has been an award-winner, and even if the other photo is not nominated. -- Slaunger 19:56, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Delist If the current picture can be (or has been) replaced by a superior image (same species!!), then delisting of the old one is advisable. (I must have been sleeping when I first changed my mind ;-).) Lycaon 07:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
•  Keep the left one is more interesting and sharper -- Bjodr 13:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

result: 5 delist, 4 keep, 0 neutral => kept. --MichaelMaggs 17:46, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
