Info created by KishiShiotani on Animexx and brougth to us through a contest for free images there. I think it's of high artistic merit and also high illustrative merit, since there are not much free images to illustrate that subject. And, since there were many complaints about that on commons only pictures with manga-style girls get featured, it may be a strong reason for support that - surprise - it's a boy. - uploaded by Don-kun - nominated by Don-kun -- Don-kun (talk) 11:10, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose -- I really don't think this is the right place to assess a work of art, and the argument that it is just an illustration of a certain artistic style is not convincing. Using the same argument, could I make a painting "in the style" of Picasso or Rembrant (or some modern artist/school whose works are not yet free) and submit it to FPC? The only legitimate way I find to assess this work is through my personal taste. And, frankly, I don't like it at all. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 22:41, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Info Its less about style than it is about the subject it shows. Bishounen is no style, but a genre or theme which can be used. Of cause there is a certain "anime/manga"-style, but thats not really a well-defined style and this image clearly shows some of that "style"s elements. So thats different from painting an image in the style of some famous artist. --Don-kun (talk) 05:57, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, if I understand well, this is to be taken as an original artwork? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 07:43, 20 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Do I read here: "Alvesgaspar has no clue but Alvesgaspar has an opinion?" --Paddy (talk) 09:23, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You read what you want but I'm becoming annoyed with the disrespect some editors express towards other people's opinions. Maybe it would be more clear if I said simply that I found the illustration kitschy and of little value, clearly not among the best Commons has to offer? --Alvesgaspar (talk) 09:58, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe I should also emphasize that I'm just a regular user and that my opinions have exactly the same weight as any other's, as well as my right to express them. I wonder why votes with no rationale, or with hollow ones, like all the supports in this nomination, are not questioned. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:09, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the nomination says it all, so the pro-voters don't have to add anything when they just agree. An if the theme is bishounen, a "kitschy" illustration may be appropriate. --Don-kun (talk) 07:19, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you answer my question yes/no? --Paddy (talk) 10:36, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral I might nominate as a Valued Image. The nominator makes a good point about gender and subject matter, and I agree it has illustrative value about the subject, but I'm not sure it's quite of the level of quality as previously featured manga/anime style images.
