Saint Paulin Church

 * Reason: I just saw this in COM:POTD and was very impressed. Great quality 'panorama' of this church fresco. Illustrates the work of Christoph Thomas Scheffler very well.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Christoph Thomas Scheffler, Saint Paulin Church
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/Artwork/Paintings
 * Creator:Berthold Werner


 * Support as nominator --Nautica Shad es  09:26, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support, a strong image. Have we an article on the church? This would be a great addition there. Translations of the Latin would be cool, too. Scratch that, just seen the image page. J Milburn (talk) 10:46, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose - I personally feel that a single-use image nomination is just a lazy nomination. This image surely could add further to articles elsewhere on WP.  Where is this image currently housed? It should at a minimum be in the gallery at rococo although that does not help its EV much.  If it is housed in Trier, this should be in the museum section of that article. If we don't know where it is housed, maybe an article related to its provenance or where it was produced.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 13:35, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Please see the response from jjron in the could cover article... Gazhiley (talk) 15:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, throwing this reasoning into three places at once really is rather annoying. I implore you to reconsider, or, if not, I implore the closer to ignore Tony's vote... J Milburn (talk) 15:53, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Four: Navy, Clouds, Wüzburg, and this.Nautica Shad es  16:02, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * See my responses at both the 1918 Navy Enlistment Poster and the MODIS Cloud Cover Map nominations where I demonstrated that within 30 seconds additional uses for quality images could benefit WP. This is a case where the nominator would have to think a bit and possibly research to do a proper nomination in my mind. However, I personally would find out where the image is currently housed or past owners of the image to figure out how to improve WP by giving this image its full EV.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:15, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * New discussion here. Nautica Shad es  16:21, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It is seeming like you are much more concerned about pushing this through FP than considering how it might improve WP. Do you have any thoughts on any articles where it might be added?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * If it seems like people commenting here are concerned with this passing FPC, that may be something to do with the fact that this page is for discussion concerning whether this image should be a featured picture. J Milburn (talk) 00:33, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support Since this is today's commons PotD, I feel guilty opposing. Also, I think the best additional uses (Fresco, Trier and Prince-elector) of this may be a bit crowded.  I do think the Fresco article could use some image arrangement with some left side images and some Template:Multiple image.  I would hope the nominator would consider how it might be incorporated in some of these locations.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * given use in the Church article, it has sufficient EV.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:09, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Oppose : I am not convinced of its EV. It would have significant EV in some Saint Paulin Church article, but as per the current usage in Christoph Thomas Scheffler (artist article): any painting by him has equal EV, unless this painting as important as Mona Lisa is to Leonardo da Vinci.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by  Redtigerxyz  (talk • contribs)  17:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's illustrative of the artist's style and paint technique. Plenty of EV. Nautica Shad es  00:08, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak support for its EV in Saint Paulin Church -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:11, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Saint Paulin Church article in the making. Will move ceiling pic out of infobox once I've put more content in the article.  Judging by the de: article, there's lots to say about the church.   Mae din\ talk 19:59, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. Strong artwork, but what is depicted exactly? The Last Judgement? Brandmeister[t] 11:00, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * It's mentioned in the new article—from the sources, I gathered that it mostly depicts the martyrdom of the Theban Legion (the remains of some of the slaughtered soldiers are supposedly in the church's crypt) and also depicts some of the scenes from the life of St Paulinus (not sure it's shown in the picture though, think that might be in a different part of the church). If you can read German, the image description page also gives some insight into each section.   Mae din\ talk 13:47, 6 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Support Nice, high resolution image. Good stitching job. Adds significant EV to the church article.  Jujutacular  T · C 18:09, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
