Gamelan
Voting period ends on 8 Feb 2012 at 00:06:29 (UTC)
 * Reason:This really kills me (I think we need more Indonesia-related FPs), but the image has been replaced by other, more encyclopedic images and is not used anymore. The resolution is also on the low side.
 * Articles this image appears in:N/A
 * Previous nomination/s:Featured picture candidates/Playing gamelan
 * Nominator: Crisco 1492 (talk)

 * Question. I don't know much about this topic, and expect you are far better informed, so I'll ask: is there really no place or no use for this in the Gamelan article anymore? I can't find when it was removed, but I do note that the Gamelan article is riddled with vandalism. --jjron (talk) 16:48, 25 January 2012 (UTC) Here's the unexplained removal --jjron (talk) 17:01, 25 January 2012 (UTC) Would it have a place in Gamelan gender wayang? --jjron (talk) 17:03, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd say this should be re-added to the Gamelan article. (And as such I vote for Keep, even if I have to put it back in myself!) The image is indeed *just* on the right side of the resolution guideline, but I don't really feel it hurts it (as much as, say, the blurry hammer!).  Nik the  stoned 
 * As noted in the original nomination by the only oppose voter, gamelan is not something one plays alone. It is a set, including gongs, instruments like xylophones, and other instruments which sadly I forget the name of. Any pictures showing only a single player have lower EV than set pictures.

 * OK, but this image appears to be of a far higher quality than those remaining. Could they not both be in place? Maybe in the "Influence on Western music" section, what with it being in Australia. (Tenuous connection there, I realise!)  Nik the  stoned  09:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Should've put @jjron in front of that... @jjron: Without knowing if there was a wayang performance, no. I've put it in Gendér though, as that is the instrument he is playing.
 * @Nik: Theoretically I could get better pictures, if I had the time to go down to the sultan's palace (lighting would be an issue though). I think having the image in gendér is good, but I'm not sure if the EV is high enough, especially with the round mallet so motion blurred. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crisco 1492 (talk • contribs) 09:32, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Given the lack of Indonesia-related FPs (and content in general) I'd say this still meets the EV in this area (given it's now in use)... As in, the value is higher if the images subject is barely represented, right?  Nik the  stoned  09:53, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Better than none, yes. If there is such a thing as a weak delist, that's where I am now. Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:09, 26 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep It's certainly well above resolution requirements and as mentioned above we don't many (if any) other Indonesian FPs and to me the playing of the particular instrument would meet EV requirements --Fir0002 04:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
