Support Beautiful Set. -- ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 17:28, 16 January 2014 (UTC)- Support Excellent selection. Could be nice see geolocalization --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 17:34, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Anatidae is a family containing 146 species in 40 genera on nearly every continent. That's just too big a group for a set of four rather common birds to be special. And the individual pictures, while ok, are not among our finest. -- Colin (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2014 (UTC)- Oppose Per Colin, the family is too big for one set, I can maybe support every only images but not this set -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:39, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- These images are just a few, and could not exist another set with other images? ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 23:17, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm flattered that you like my photo, but the same problem exists as with your Brasilia nomination: the purpose of a set is not to choose a few representative examples from a gigantic category of loosely related things. Examples of acceptable sets would be four pictures showing the metamorphosis of a butterfly, the eight pages of a pamphlet, or a pair of pendant paintings. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:29, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
- But these images do not cease to be good. ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 01:07, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

- Strong Oppose Sorry; set is not intended for these types of sets. We already had a similar discussion recently while some one nominated a "birds" set with 16 pictures. We have a difficulty to present sets in POTY and the current consensus is to preset only the first or best picture in a set (the nominator can decide if he/she prefers) and mention others in description. See related discussion at Commons_talk:Picture_of_the_Year/2013#Set_nominated.E3.80.80FPs and the notice at Commons:Featured pictures/chronological/current month. Jee 03:03, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
