 * Support as nominator --MrPanyGoff (talk) 16:37, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. A nice picture of one of Sofia, Bulgaria's landmarks.  It wouldn't look bad on the Main Page, and is an attractive, eyecatching pic.  DCI2026 (talk) 00:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per DCI2026. --Xijky (talk) 07:57, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment a very good image, and choice to picture it on the weekend probably reduced the nr of obscuring vehicles, but there is almost nothing in the article about the building. --Elekhh (talk) 09:15, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * There is historical data about the completion of the building and its location in the city. So the importance of the image is doubled because, psychologically, the presence of good photos stimulates the development of the articles.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 10:25, 25 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Theoretically yes, in practice I haven't seen much of it in the last years. --Elekhh (talk) 11:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Support Meets the criteria nicely. JJ Harrison (talk) 02:52, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Question why is there information on the photo page about purchasing the image? The copyright and purchasing information seem out of place for a photo that is supposedly freely licensed. Pinetalk 08:30, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Where? One can specify how an image is to be attributed with the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence. Are you referring to "If you would like special permission to use, license, or purchase the image please contact me to negotiate terms."? JJ Harrison (talk) 08:51, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * That's right, this is something like additional reminder for attribution because few people recognize this part of the game.--MrPanyGoff (talk) 09:29, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * What most worries me is the word "purchase." Pinetalk 23:28, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't a problem: Commons:Commons:User-specific_galleries,_templates_and_categories_policy. It is there to allow people that want to use the image outside of the licence conditions to contact MrPanyGoff in order to do so, it doesn't preclude free use in any way.

 * Support after discussion above. Pinetalk 08:51, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I added this image to the article on the City of Sofia. Pinetalk 08:59, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support in the past it was often required to have more substantial material relating to the image in the article, but I guess we also need to ease the expectations from time to time. --Elekhh (talk) 11:02, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Support, another impeccably taken and visually impressive image of a Bulgarian landmark. I added a couple of sentences on the building in the article.  — Toдor Boжinov — 11:04, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
