Delist-- 81.217.83.246 13:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC) Please log in to vote. Thank you. • Richard • [®] • 16:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)- Keep Consensus was very clear with a 14/4 result. • Richard • [®] • 16:45, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Just been promoted with a clear majority. --Muhammad (talk) 19:44, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Delist I usually don't vote for delisting an image but I have nominated images where the photo-quality was much better. I actually don't think that Alvesgaspar thought that this will really become an FP ("let's slowly re-start... with a joke") --D-Kuru (talk) 22:30, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep One of the technically best pan blurs you'll ever see, and I love it! Although I was always frustrated by the "Why did the chicken cross the road?" riddles, so I've provided an answer (my answer is a joke; the original photo is great, whether or not it was meant to be a joke).

- Delist Agree with D-Kuru. It's charming but not enough of the chicken is in focus. Downtowngal (talk) 16:54, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep First I don't believe that a recently promoted image should be immediately nominated for delisting, any more than a recently declined image should be immediately re-nominated - both are inappropriate. Secondly, I didn't vote on this original nomination but watched its progress with interest. Yes in terms of narrow quality criteria it is mostly blurred and even the parts in focus are not particularly sharp. But this is FP, not QI, and a lot of people don't seemed to know the difference. The 'quality' guidelines of FP were strengthened in line with the QI guidelines, mainly I think because of the large number of nominations - to help weed out unworthy images. But FP has always been about the most striking images on Commons, not just the 'best' in terms of technical quality, but the best in terms of eye popping, and interest grabbing - suitable for a front window display for Commons. --Tony Wills (talk) 22:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Comment I agree with your first sentence, but make an exception as this image was proposed humorously. Also, thinking long-term - it's 50 years from now and there's some major disaster - which electronic archives will be chosen to be saved? I would bet that the FPs would be high on the list. So I would add 'enduring' to 'striking' and 'eye-popping'. My sense is this image is a transient joke that served its purpose. Downtowngal (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- An argument about archives for posterity is somewhat irrelevant, FP are simply the 'best' pictures on commons right now, I don't expect current FPs to survive 5 years, let alone 50 years :-). I don't see why you see it as a 'joke' image, whatever the reasons for nomination, it is an excellent example of a panning shot of a moving animal (a lot more difficult than something moving smoothly like a vehicle). The 'ordinary' subject has a humour element and is greatly enhanced by the photography technique. I hope we can get back to promoting the best of Commons, rather than just the best of QI :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 00:14, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- I was wondering if there were any better panning photographs of animals, I thought I had seen one or two here, but all I can find is this one ;-) --Tony Wills (talk) 02:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep Very nice image, well done. --Karel (talk) 16:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
- Delist Per me in original nomination. —kallerna™ 16:18, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep One of the best pan shots. --Nvineeth (talk) 06:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Delist - this doesn't have much wow for me, and most of it is a blur. Jonathunder (talk) 17:43, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep one of my favorites .--Mbz1 (talk) 00:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep The original vote was a clear support. /Daniel78 (talk) 09:21, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep I actually opposed this in its original nomination, but its promotion was clear and it is a decent panning shot. I don't think it deserves to be delisted. Maedin\talk 18:57, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Keep good panning shot. The real thing why the chicken is runnig? It wants to go to the over side of the street ;-). --Nati aus Sythen (talk) 19:43, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
result: 4 delist, 10 keep, 0 neutral => not delisted. Maedin\talk 19:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
