Used in	Global usage
Review (criteria)	Best in Scope--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 04:44, 28 March 2022 (UTC)  Oppose Odd framing with visual clutter in the foreground. File:Smolensk Railway Station.jpg is similar quality but better framing, showing train, and is also widely used on Wikipedias. --ELEKHHT 02:55, 30 March 2022 (UTC)  Comment I considered nominating that one, but the trees block more of the building and the angle makes it harder to see the side facade. —Percival Kestreltail (talk) 21:55, 31 March 2022 (UTC) I know, but in this one the pole on the left oddly covers up the end of the building, in a way I find very distracting. --ELEKHHT 06:28, 1 April 2022 (UTC)  Support Considering the formulation of the scope, we can exclude the trains and only consider the building, in which case it is this image which is the best. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:17, 1 April 2022 (UTC) "Considering the formulation of the scope, we can exclude the trains"? It is a "train station". --ELEKHHT 06:26, 1 April 2022 (UTC) Would you require trains to be viewable in a VI of the Amsterdam Centraal Station? A train station is very commonly a building. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:30, 1 April 2022 (UTC) I am not requiring anything. Just saying that the other picture has a better composition, because by showing a train it makes the use of the building obvious, and is not obscured by the distracting pole. It is particularly appropriate as it shows the facade facing the tracks, not the facade facing the city. --ELEKHHT 21:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC) OK, just checking. I'm not sure which one is better in scope, myself, but the building is bigger at review size in this photo, so that's one argument on the other side. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 2 April 2022 (UTC) Result: 2 support, 1 oppose => promoted.
