 * Delist, absolutely. This wouldn't have a chance of passing today, and is far, far below current standards. J Milburn (talk) 17:31, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment There's no need to exaggerate like you just did - this is of a perfectly fine technical standard. It was 1024 pixels wide when promoted to FP on Wikipedia and VI on Commons (defeating this alternate candidate as recently as January 2009), and was cropped, apparently on an initiative of boldness that is not backed by any consensus, by one editor after the fact, and uploaded over the top. We could just revert it and that would be the end of the size argument. As for any other argument, this is encyclopaedic in composition, well exposed and noise-free. Any notion that this is "far, far below current standards" is purely imaginary. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Is that a Keep vote then? I still don't think this would pass today (people would insist it be poster size, might be against the sterile, unnatural background, would insist it be used on the species (which it's not) and not just Snails in general, would probably just nominate a picture of the shell taken from 5 different angles) and that a better picture is possible, but I suppose at least get it back over the minimum and I'll consider withdrawing. -- I'ḏ ♥  One  20:53, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Reverted to uncropped version as requested. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 21:47, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
