KeepI really do not know to laugh or to cry at the delisting request of such unique and one-of-a-kind image.--Mbz1 03:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The crop is fine. --Lerdsuwa 17:55, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Mbz1, if such an eye-catching and unique image as this gets delisted, then you may as well delist most WPs on Commons. Mfield 20:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that delisting does not mean to delete the image. The image still could be uniq image without being a FP. --Manco Capac 21:33, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your sarcastic response on this, I can not understand how a person wrote this may act like this. I am appologising from others that I had to give an answer to such a sarcastic comment--Manco Capac 06:13, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delist per nom: lousy quality, oversharpened, noisy, (probably upscaled) and badly cropped..., Lycaon 21:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delist nice composition but unacceptable quality considering its modern origin Movieevery 08:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

May I please ask you what do you think about this Commons FPC selection criteria "A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph." ?Isn't this a picture of s very difficult subject ?--Mbz1 15:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't believe this is a hard to reproduce shot, these are trained dolphins and probably do tricks like this on a regular basis (as opposed to a wild dolphin), so the technical flaws of a 2003 image can't be forgiven so easily since the U.S military has expensive equipment to produce high quality images but this looks rather poor for a 1/500 shutter speed, also very noisy and oversharpened.

Maybe U.S military has "expensive equipment" maybe not, maybe U.S military did not care to let their "expensive equipment" to get wet in order the picture would pass FPC, maybe it is easy to reproduce, maybe not. I do not know. What I know that right now Commons do not have a better image of the unique and interesting subject and IMO the image should stay at least untill a better one will be availabale.Thank you.--Mbz1 18:46, 30 April 2008 (UTC)17:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Very good, valuable and high wow image. This is what an FP is about, not constant bickering about technical quality. --Freedom to share 15:28, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Strange discussion about whether it's hard to reproduce, like the picture gets burned and destroyed when it's no longer an FP? FRZ 02:30, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Very interesting capture; the composition is very good also. Technical imperfections are not that bad and should not outweigh in this case. Barabas
Keep The uniqness of this situation makes up for the techical "mishaps". --Hebster 12:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

8 keep, 6 delist >> kept -- Alvesgaspar 21:49, 4 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
