 * Comment Please link previous delist discussion. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 07:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment And the second one too (which I for some reason couldn't get to link normally). Matt Deres (talk) 10:51, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep This image is practically unrepeatable. WP:IGNORE would come into play here, I believe. It's too good an image to let the normal size parameters force it into a delist. Not a very impressive picture? You go out and take a more impressive one of a storm. That is one of the most impressive pictures I have seen. Clegs (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. AGAIN, as per my reasons on every other delist discussion. --jjron (talk) 13:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I wouldn't say it was "practically unrepeatable." Matt Deres (talk) 13:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'd say our image is superior to both of those. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've seen nothing with the impact of this though. The cloud over the city gives a stunning indication of the scale of the cloud and storm. Great stuff. --jjron (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Original nomination here FWIW. --jjron (talk) 14:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep--Mbz1 (talk) 15:01, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delist As much as I appreciate the scale and positioning of the shot, I just can't see how it can be an FP when it's no bigger than a large thumbnail. It's disappointing; the viewer clicks on it hoping to get really blown away and is left with a snapshot sized pic. This is a well-defined front, but storms occur every day; someone get Diliff some galoshes or something... Matt Deres (talk) 00:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Delist these kind of clouds aren't that rare anyway see &   which are all in the public domain as well Thisglad (talk) 02:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Haven't seen anything that's better than the image we have. There is a bigger version available if (see LiquidGhoul's comment in the discussion I cited above) if resolution is a problem for others. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * it is upsampled arbitrarily rather than an original higher resolution from the source Thisglad (talk) 01:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep until we can get another image with comparable or better impact. --Janke | Talk 14:10, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Janke (& others). Still a very striking photo. Pete Tillman (talk) 05:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Not very impressive? Are we looking at the same picture? --Calibas (talk) 06:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - far too small.... but this is a stunning image - Peripitus (Talk) 13:46, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Per above. 8thstar 03:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
