 * Category? Not meant as a neener-neener format point.  I actually like looking at what else we have in there, comparing photo qualities and EVs and such when looking at a nom.TCO (reviews needed)  23:50, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Featured pictures/Space/Getting there is where it appears. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the delisting procedure, and this step does not appear in the instructions as far as I can tell. - Running On Brains (talk) 02:37, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I looked through there, thanks. We do have a lot of Shuttle stuff.  I do like the shot and it shows something that those who have lived in Florida will know, but others really will not (something special).  That said, I also read the initial acceptance and there was the (reasonable) point made that despite its interestingness, it is not really illustrative like a diagram or the like.  I do find the shot beatiful and on a notable topic, so would be fine with it staying. That said, we don't lose anything key with it gone either.  maybe I am slightly towards retention as an FP given that we have the photo either way and that FP is a bit more about beauty than about EV (and I say this being one who always bangs the EV drum).  On the technical photog aspects, I am stupid, so don't take my comments as meaning a thing there.TCO (reviews needed)  02:47, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that it isn't particularly illustrative of a specific topic (at least in any of the articles in which it currently appears) but it seems like a borderline case, and I could be convinced that it is sufficient in the EV category. My real concerns are with the quality.- Running On Brains (talk) 03:41, 12 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delist. Looks very pretty at thumbnail, but has severe quality problems. I would not support this, and I strongly doubt it would pass today. J Milburn (talk) 17:53, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
