Image:Watching Sunset Salar de Uyuni Bolivia Luca Galuzzi 2006.jpg, not delisted edit

Info beautiful image, but does not conform to the Value standard of Wikimedia : no didactic or information content

.. [1] Value - our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that: ... beautiful does not always mean valuable. If not, Wikimedia standards should change rules... Benwik 18:46, 31 August 2007 (UTC) (Original nomination)

Keep If you believe the rules need updating, please make a proposal on the relevant talk page. This is not a good way to go about it. --MichaelMaggs 20:35, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Value in the commons means that a FP is the best of the best. Please make a proposal on the relevant talk page. --Digon3 ^talk 00:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Only to say that this picture shows a real landscape, hard to find in places other than in high altitude salt deserts. That said do what you want. --LucaG 08:14, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep WTF?--Richard Bartz 09:33, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment If WTF means what i think, just try to be polite as recommended at the top of this page.

It was generally spoken, WTF a regular polling template, as a exclamation of astonishment, absolutely not personal or against a person. So in that context i think its not unpolite.--Richard Bartz 15:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will not argue more on this case. Just wanted to bring your attention on that point. On the french featured picture candidates page, the "value" criteria is stated as "utilité" (usefullness). This rule says : "Beau" ne veut pas dire "utile" wich seems quite clear to me, but not to everyone. I first thought the FP images should have a kind of encyclopedic value, but after observing the fp nomination process during a few weeks i concluded it is rather a way of building a collection of beautiful and technically perfect photos, constituted by a small team of devoted users. I am sorry to say so, but you should have the honesty to recognize that. My opinion is that commons has a real problem with values. And as all opinion it must be respected even if you don't want to think about it.Benwik 15:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thats democracy, I can live with it. The value can seen here, here, here, here and here. I think this picture illustrates the articles very excellent. Usage can be a value, too --Richard Bartz 15:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the kind of value you are looking for can be found at en:Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates and en:Wikipedia:Featured_pictures. --Digon3 ^talk 17:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep No question, this picture is definitely valuable and outstanding at the same time --Simonizer 11:20, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delist I was going to vote keep until I checked out what Salar de Uyuni actually was. I figured it was a bay from the image, it's a slat flat. This picture, while beautiful, very poorly illustrates the subject. The English and French Wikis don't even use this image because we have other featured pictures that illustrate the subject far better. Calibas 20:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I can agree with Benwik up to a point. His remark about the small team of devoted users on the top level of Commons is true: we need much more of such devoted users! Nevertheless, I think that this particular picture is outstanding, and has enough encyclopedic value for being a FP. -- MJJR 11:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

result: 8 Keep, 1 Delist, 2 neutral =>not delisted. -- Lycaon 20:14, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
