Review (criteria)	I do hope we don't want a scope of every balloon. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:24, 13 September 2022 (UTC)  Comment @Charlesjsharp Actually, it is an interesting question about proper scope for hot air balloons. I see the following two reasons to have valued images for every balloon: We have scope for particular house and particular ship. Even for front view or side view of a house or a ship. But there are not too many balloons nowadays. I do not have exact statistical figures, but I think there are more houses and more ships than hot air balloons. And checking the categories for ships, houses and hot air balloons we can easily find that in Wikimedia Commons we have significantly less images of hot air balloons than images of buildings or images of ships. Like ships and houses, most of hot air balloons are unique, and most of the others are produced in very small series. For example, this is the valued image of serial ship Ship Moskva-21 . In our category tree for hot air balloons the next step after the particular balloon is usually something like Hot air balloons of the United Kingdom. Are we ready to check all the subcategories of such wide category to choose the best photo of a balloon from UK for example? I don't think so. But it means that there is no chance to have valued image of hot air balloon at all. --LexKurochkin (talk) 17:22, 14 September 2022 (UTC)  Support Best in scope. We have scope for houses, boats, every animal species, why not hot air balloons ? Skimel (talk) 15:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC)  Comment Not quite. We should only have scopes for notable houses, churches or boats and that should be the same for balloons. Mind you, we have many inconsequwntial houses, churches and boats which are promoted. Anything seems to be Ok now. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:17, 15 September 2022 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted. Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:09, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
