•  Strong oppose This should not succeed as the crucial tails are missing. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:16, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
  • So nothing to do with the picture, but because the butterfly lost a piece of itself somewhere? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  21:35, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
    • I don't consider that valid oppose. Seven Pandas (talk) 22:28, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

• It would be a good reason for this nomination to fail at COM:VIC. FPC isn't only about the prototypical representation of a species. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:21, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

• I disagree. "the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects." This image would not/should not be used on any projects. Without knowing what the butterfly should look like, people could use this - thinking 'well, it's Wiki Commond FP, must be fine'. Damaged insects are much easier to photograph and we always search for 'fresh' ones - not always succeeding. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:34, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

•  Question How about if the lack of the tails is mentioned in the file description? Could you add that, Rhododendrites? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:18, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

• Done. Started to do just that yesterday but didn't save, I guess. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  14:33, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

  Horn? --A.Savin 09:54, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

• One tusk would not likely not make an elephant FP, when there are so many to photograph with two. Of course there can be 'character' FPs with obviously damaged limbs or whatever. The point about this butterfly image is that you cannot tell it is damaged unless you know what it should look like. We risk devaluing Commons FPs. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:42, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
