 * Maybe it's just me, but at the scale it's shown at, the replacement seems much harder to read? Also, is it showing the same format? Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 03:52, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * (1) It's used at a width of 400px in the article. (2) I'll quote from the talk page of the current FP: "Since this is a version 4 (33x33) QR symbol, it doesn't actually contain version information. That is present only in version 7 (45x45) and larger symbols. If version information were present, the two blue blocks would contain the same pattern of dark and light (but rotated 90 degrees)." The replacement image shows a v7 QR code. MER-C 03:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Is this version commonly used? The examples in the wild don't include 'em, but then, I'd imagine that there's a limit to how and where they can be photographed.   Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 04:02, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * The version selected is governed by the amount of data to be transferred. Searching "QR code" in an image search engine suggests smaller QR codes - lower version numbers - appear to be more common. MER-C 04:25, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
 * In that case, I'm afraids I can't support a replace, because it's misleading as to the structure of the more common ones as it shows information not present in them, and can't support keeping the original, because it's inaccurate. I can only support fixing the original and turning this into a set, or neither being featured. Delist Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about % of all FPs 04:47, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delist & replace per nom. The article's illustrated with plenty of images, and the lead image already shows the more common smaller version. I think it's better that the image used to illustrate the code structure also shows how the alignment patterns work in larger versions. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:08, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

 * There is not enough support to replace the image as an FP. Armbrust The Homunculus 03:41, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
