Birth of Venus

 * Reason:Cut off on the left. In other copies, such as File:La_naissance_de_Vénus.jpg, it can be seen that the foot is complete, instead of cut off. I'm a little uncomfortable with considering what is only most of a famous image as amongst the best on Wikipedia. It's also no longer used in the main article on the painting, being replaced with an edit.

 * At the least, we should probably swap it for the edit used in the article. Though I'm still uncomfortable with it being cut off, and would rather draw a hard requirement for completeness. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:49, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist, I completely agree with Adam. This would not pass today, and so it should not be kept today. J Milburn (talk) 11:25, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist if someone discovered the bad crop before during the nomination it likely never would of passed, so it should be delisted now since it's not accurate to the painting... — raeky ( talk 13:02, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Reluctant delist One of the most famous, most important, works of art ever and we delist it because of two inches missing off the left. Yeah, it's probably the right thing to do, but I still feel dirty about it. Unless it's specifically a "detail", the piece should be complete to be Featured. Dammit.

 * Delist: Shame we don't have this complete.  (P.S. I've seen this painting at the Uffizi.  It's much bigger than I expected it to be!)   Mae din\ talk 09:05, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Delist. It might be famous, but in its current state, it's only 95% famous. That's not fair to FP or Botticelli's work. Amphy (talk) 07:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
