 * Reason:cool pic, but too small and very bad quality
 * Nominator: Baseracer

 * Comment. This was nominated for delisting in July 2006 (Featured picture candidates/Thunder Cloud). -- Tewy  02:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looks great even though it's small. You just don't see that kind of thing every day. -- Tewy  02:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is a keeper unless someone has been able to get a better shot of this phenomenon --⁪froth T C  04:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep a bit iffy on today's standards if it were to go up today but works as a current one and there's no real issue big enough that I can see making it worth delisting. Cat-five - talk 11:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delist. The clouds look quite interesting but the image quality is very bad (compression artifacts and low resolution). This is definitely not Wikipedia's best work. --KFP (talk | contribs) 13:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Very Very Weak Keep This is a hard one. One of the most fascinating pictures I've ever seen, but the size.....maybe somebody should contact the uploader, if he/she has access to a high-res version of this image. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wutschwlllm (talk • contribs).

 * Comment The linked "other version" (Image:Rolling-thunder-cloud-a.jpg) is higher resolution, but seems to have been upscaled from the original image, as it's blurry, artifacted, and lacking in detail.Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 22:53, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, the smaller one is much better. --⁪froth T C  23:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I know it doen't fit the size requirement but it's such a good photo in every way that it deserves to stay. By the way someone should come up with a good caption. 04:14, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delist A very cool pic but fails resolution and exhibits aliasing and compression artifacts. While it's a fairly rare shot, thunderstorms roll over major cities all the time. &mdash;Dgiest c 19:12, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Olegivvit 19:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delist unfortunately it doesn't meet the requirements for FP. If it were to go through the process now it would be shot down. While it is an unusual/rare pic...that enough does not qualify it for Featured Picture. &mdash; Arjun 20:09, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Encyclopedic value overcomes any technical problems. --Arad 22:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delist. I'm going to buck the trend here. I don't think it should automatically be kept until someone else finds a better capture of the subject. It either is or isn't at a certain quality level. It can easily service the article competently without being featured. It is a spectacular image but the quality is just too poor for me to support.

 * strong keep. you dont see these things very often. 68.61.233.160 02:34, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - obvious rarity and enc value overcoming image quality - Alvesgaspar 11:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
