Comment AFAIK here we don't promote modern national coats of arms. Btw, I think we should increase SVG sizes from current maximum of 1,129×1,024 px to meet FP requirements. Brandmeister^talk 13:39, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- @Brandmeister:, it is a Commons Featured Picture. It was Picture of the Day on Wikimedia Commons. It was even a candidate in Commons Picture of the Year 2008. It's been the Coat of arms of Mexico since 1968. It's used on over-one-hundred pages on English Wikipedia. Surely this has high Encyclopedic Value. Not sure why we wouldn't feature it? — Cirt (talk) 16:25, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - That's ok and I like this particular coat of arms. But there are over 200 other coats of arms of sovereign nations with the same encyclopedic value, so from an encyclopedic point of view there's no compelling reason to outline this one. Brandmeister^talk 16:32, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Brandmeister:, there was a compelling reason for Commons to outline this one, and to place it onto their Commons Main Page for twenty-four (24) hours as their Picture of the Day on Wikimedia Commons. I don't see why it shouldn't be a Featured Picture here. — Cirt (talk) 16:41, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I'm impressed by the quality of this SVG, and it's a noteworthy image of encyclopedic value. It's been years since commons featured it, so I don't think featuring it on Wikipedia is overexposing it. ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 16:55, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very high EV. Most people do not notice the subtle details and important symbols of the Mexican coat of arms. I suggest that when this goes up to the main page someday, the symbols found in the coat of arms be explained in detail. Étienne Dolet (talk) 23:33, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral for this, sorry.....I think I should second Brandmeister for "there are over 200 other coats of arms of sovereign nations with the same encyclopedic value". DreamSparrow ^Chat 14:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for the participation, but I'm going to have to agree with EtienneDolet who said: "Very high EV. Most people do not notice the subtle details and important symbols of the Mexican coat of arms.", as well as the community at Wikimedia Commons that made this Picture of the Day on Wikimedia Commons. — Cirt (talk) 17:31, 10 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
