Maltese Dog


A great picture that exemplifies both the breed Maltese and the rich diversity that is in the dog species.

 * Oppose Nice doggy, but the photo is not encyclopedic. We'd need to see the whole dog in a pose that would add some significant information to an article - and this picture isn't in any! --Janke | Talk 06:47, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Awww, he's so cute! OPPOSE!!! (per Janke) --Bridgecross 13:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * First of all the picture is in two articles. Dog and Maltese as a matter of fact. And secondly I think it adds a great deal to both of these articles because it really makes the breed appealing to individuals who have never heard of the breed or have not considered owning a maltese. Its up to you but I think its a great picture and perfectly encyclopedic. --Tobyw87 13:57, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I cannot see that this image is in any article. Another version of it is (an uncropped image with a time stamp), so technically, this nomination is in error. Please replace the stamped image with the one you nominate here. --Janke | Talk 19:53, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Oppose cute pic but, not encyclopedic. An "encyclopedic" image of a Maltese would show the entire body so that the chariciteristics of the breed could be seen. Bridgecross dont be a jerk. This is Tobyw87's 1st nom (AFAIK), no wonder we are running out of pics for the front page when people who submit pictures are treated like that. -Ravedave (help name my baby) 15:26, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose, with a heavy heart. Scores top marks in the cute factor, but it also looks like a cute head lying on the ground. Also, for reasons already stated, not encyclopaedic - doniv 17:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose cute dog but I don't think its featured image worthy Trashking 21:29, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Looks like a disembodied dog head.  howch e  ng   {chat} 22:40, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
