- @Kallerna and J Milburn: Added to Jewel Changi Airport. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 21:41, 5 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  - 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)[reply]
    The edit was reverted. ArionStar (talk) 15:24, 6 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    - 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)[reply]
        Could that be stated explicitely in WP:WIAFP? Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 20:13, 7 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
