 * Support as nominator – — Julian H. ✈( talk  ) 12:17, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - Great shot. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:37, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose – Good capture of the aircraft, but I don't see how it adds significantly to the EV of the 10 other shots of A380s taking off or landing at Airbus A380. (That article would be improved by deleting a few of them, IMO. Overkill.) Sca (talk) 13:50, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * From the article: "As of April 2015, Emirates is the largest operator of the type with 59 aircraft in active service"; that's one good piece of EV. Second is the fact that many of the images are very poor. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:44, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Perhaps some should be delisted? Sca (talk) 14:59, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * You mean removed from the article? Yeah, but there'd likely be trouble if it was done unilaterally. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:20, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that there are more photos in the article than necessary. I'm not convinced though, naturally, that this one would be the first that should be removed. In my opinion, it's both relevant (as illustrated by Chris Woodrich) and of higher quality than most other photos in the article. I'm not very familiar with the arguments concerning this on EN:FPC as this is my first nomination, so I'll have to trust your judgement concerning the way this should be held against the nomination. — Julian H. ✈( talk  ) 10:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Indeed nice angle, allowing to see all engines plus deployed landing gear, adequate sharpness. Brandmeistertalk  14:01, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per above. -- Fauzan ✆ talk ✉ mail  02:33, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose-- Samək Talk 13:53, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Samək, please note that instructions above say, "Write Oppose, followed by your reasoning, if you disapprove of the picture." Thanks. Sca (talk) 14:56, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * [Addendum: Amazed I didn't EC with Sca on this]. Why? Per the guidelines, "All objections should be accompanied by a specific rationale that, if addressed, would make you support the image." — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:03, 29 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Support Excellent Clarity, soooo pretty, and I agree the EV is in the branding as much as the aircraft itself... gaz hiley  15:33, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - Detail is very high for a large plane in motion, good EV-Godot13 (talk) 22:37, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment – Okay, I withdraw my oppose above, as it is a good shot technically. If it's promoted here, suggest it be moved up from the bottom of the Airbus A380 page and some of the lesser-quality duplicative pix deleted. Sca (talk) 15:08, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * If we have the authority to do it, I'd happily agree with Sca's request as part of the nom... gaz hiley  08:39, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * , if you have the ability to change an entry, i.e. it's not protected, you have the 'authority.' Sca (talk) 13:04, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * yeah I get what ur saying - I meant in terms of whoever monitors that page has it a particular way, so if we went in and started to rearrange it would that not tread on toes? Maybe not "authority" so much Sca - maybe "gravitas" ie can we say to whoever runs that page that "we agreed as part of the FP process that this should be moved, therefore it stays moved"... Or maybe I've got a lot to learn about how this site works! haha just too paranoid about causing offence I guess... gaz hiley  13:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, if someone disagrees with what you do, that's when you discuss issues with them. In terms of objective technical quality of photos, that shouldn't be a problem. Sca (talk) 14:38, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
