 * Reason:Promoted to FP in 2004 because everyone agreed with the nominator's statement, which I'm using as the caption. I don't disagree that it's good in appearance, but it definitely fails our current standards because of its size: FPs need to be "a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height", but this image is 1024x768.
 * Articles this image appears in:Itsukushima Shrine; it was taken there. List of Japanese dishes; it illustrates a type of Japanese beverage.  100 Landscapes of Japan (Heisei era); it illustrates one of the landscapes.  Note that this isn't a fair representation of what uses this image — it was recently deleted on copyright grounds before being restored, so presumably it got removed from other pages that were using it.  This delist nomination is completely unrelated to the copyright issues (make it related if you think it should be, but my motive for bringing it up is purely because of its small size), which you can find discussed in the "Missing image" section of the current revision of WP:AN.

 * Comment: I reuploaded this file from an offsite copy linked at commons:User talk:Fastily, after the Commons instance was deleted. However, I have no idea if the copy is a full-size one. (It may well be, 2004 was a long time ago.) I'll ask Fastily if it was, and if not, if a full-size copy can be undeleted from Commons for us to use. —  Scott  •  talk  01:31, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Fastily has confirmed that this is the full-size image, so I guess I reluctantly have to say delist. —  Scott  •  talk  10:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Question Because this is not a place I've ever been before - is it usual to delist images that were selected under older standards when the standards change to become more stringent? Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:27, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * I think so. See the delistings of Arrrr! and of File:Ph physical map.png, for a couple of randomly-selected times when this has been done.  Nyttend (talk) 05:27, 24 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delist as this is still somewhat reproducible. If this were not I wouldn't mind the size. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:26, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delist. Delisting on size has been controversial in the past (on the theory that we should give some precedence to the criteria at the time of nomination), but this has some chromatic aberration, and it's not well used (galleries, basically). Chick Bowen 17:40, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delist. I don't care about the size (it really doesn't impact usage in article of the encyclopedia.)  It's way confusing though.  Thought I was staring at some round Gateway boxes or something.  The angle seems off also.  Having a bunch of barrels instead of one.TCO (talk) 21:02, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
