Oppose - Good VI, but I am not getting why it should be featured. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:14, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is very useful, I guess. However, FP is not only about usefulness, it must be somewhat interesting/wowing and this frankly fails to do that.--BoothSift 23:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per Ikan and Boothsift. Cmao20 (talk) 06:21, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per others. Also: Without trying to actually replicate this knot, I'm really wondering how you get from step 2 (top right) to step 3 (center). The image is not really doing a good job in explaining the knot to me. --El Grafo (talk) 07:55, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per others.--Vulp here 08:04, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I tried this myself and the switch from step 2 to 3 is done by pulling the loose end in such a way that it is taught and the loop flips over to the other side. Per El Grafo this is a confusing move and the center image could very well be the starting point (this is how I've always tied this knot), removing the top row. With this arrangement of 5 it's also not 100 % clear what the order is supposed to be for people of different cultures viewing the image. Most importantly, this knot has two variants depending on the loose end being inside the main loop at the end (more dangerous to get opened over time as the end can easily get pushed in by the object the rope is tied to) or outside (safer and recommended version). An image showing the dangerous version should acknowledge this visually and/or in the description. – Lucas ^T 10:43, 4 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose VI perhaps but I don't think it represents what FP is all about. Daniel Case (talk) 17:49, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: too many opposes, not possibility to success Ezarateesteban 18:05, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
