- Ok; thanks. I've struck my oppose, but I don't think this counts as one of the 'obvious cases' discussed at WP:WIAFP. Josh Milburn (talk) 00:33, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- The edit was reverted. ArionStar (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
- Interesting. This is exactly why we have the recommendation of waiting. I'm going to reinstate my oppose. If this picture finds a useful and secure home in an article, I recommend it's renominated in a few months. But in the mean time, I don't think we should be promoting it.

- It was removed as there was already an existing image that shows it at night - which is quite pretty but is not high quality. I've swapped them over now, but I'm not sure if it will last. I agree that waiting makes sense for reasons like this. However, WP:WIAFP doesn't say that 'only used in a list' is insufficient for FPC here - perhaps that could be made clearer? Thanks.

- Usage of an image in lists (and galleries) is generally considered to be low EV. Armbrust The Homunculus 19:27, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- Could that be stated explicitely in WP:WIAFP? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:13, 7 January 2026 (UTC)
- @Kallerna, J Milburn, and Armbrust: It's been back in the article since the 7th, courtesy ping to @Revirvlkodlaku:. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:38, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
