- Comment Nice photo, but I don't think "somewhere in Madrid" is sufficient. What street is this? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:01, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Poorly categorized. See Over-categorization. Also per COM:I "Images should have a meaningful file name" -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:30, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed by another user. But still oppose per Palauenc05 and BigDom, below: excessive angle that prevents me from appreciating the sculptor's artwork -- Basile Morin (talk) 07:41, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support --Lupe (talk) 16:03, 4 June 2023 (UTC)
Oppose I'll support if it gets a better name -- PalauanLibertarian (talk) 01:55, 5 June 2023 (UTC)struck out the earlier of the two votes by the same user. BigDom (talk) 06:09, 13 June 2023 (UTC)- Weak support -- ⍨PLib🗣️ 11:42, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose per Basile – and where the hell is "somewhere in Madrid"? --SHB2000 (talk) 07:08, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment An interesting photo, but here we see the difference between Commons and, e.g., Flickr. ;–) On Flickr a title like Somewhere in Madrid would work well; on Flicker redundant and vague tags are the rule, not the exception. Here on Commons, however, people (including me) immediately ask “Where in Madrid? What building is this? What kind of architectural element? From what epoch?” etc. For learning by example I have tried to improve the categories a bit, but for a useful filename, description, and proper categorization we would need to know what exactly this photo shows … --Aristeas (talk) 09:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Comment And adding some tentative categories really helps. After browsing Architectural elements in Madrid and the best-matching subcategories for 3 minutes, I have already learnt that this photo shows the relief over the central entrance at the north façade of the Edificio Grassy, 1 Gran Vía, built 1916–1917. Here are more photos of that building; this photo shows the north façade and we can notice the entrance with the number 1; this photo shows exactly the same relief over that entrance. I do not report this here to boast — on the contrary, I’ve never been to Madrid, I’m sure other people would have figured it out even faster. I just want to show that we can use Commons itself to indentify such photos. Now if the photographer could please clarify the caption of his nice picture and add the categories (hint: you can copy the categories of this picture almost 1:1), I would also like to vote for this photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:30, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- So “somewhere in Madrid” is more or less exactly at 40.41916, -3.698052. Please add
{{Object location|40.41916|-3.698052}}
to the description of the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 09:35, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sigh … I have done it for you and also renamed both the photo and the nomination page to a descriptive name. Hope it helps. @Ikan Kekek, Basile Morin, PalauanLibertarian, and SHB2000: File has been renamed, description expanded, categories added. --Aristeas (talk) 07:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

- Oppose Too much distortion. Couldn't it be taken from a larger distance, wherever in Madrid it is? --Palauenc05 (talk) 12:07, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Off-centre crop and angle of view too severe. BigDom (talk) 16:11, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
- Weak support Taking a look at the map shows that it should have been possible to take a photo from a larger distance. But on the other hand the intentionally low angle and the black-and-white add an air of mystery to the portal, making this photo much more moving that most plain photos of that building. --Aristeas (talk) 07:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
- Support per Aristeas. I like the angle and think there's room for this as well as straighter-on shots that look more like File:Madrid - Edificio Grassy (Gran Vía 1) 07.jpg. Aristeas, thanks for taking care of things I think it would have been better for Tomascastelazo to attend to prior to nominating the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:32, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
