Support per extensive precedent and this being a good quality image on its own. —

Oppose I'm mystified as to the voting patterns for FP, but this is too boring for me.

How are you mystified by it? Janke !voted as I'd expect, given a history of putting greater emphasis on aesthetics and technical quality than pure encyclopedic value. I am a more documentarian photographer myself, and I have a history of nominating files such as this, so my support shouldn't be surprising. Matt's also tended to emphasize EV over pure aesthetics in his voting history. The current !voter pool is quite small, but most people are relatively predictable. —

I was mystified that my woodpecker and weaver were ignored. Both added to the articles and the weaver particularly has high EV. So I cannot see how this photo has greater merit.

If you're talking about the lack of commentary, En-Wiki's FPC is in the middle of a six or seven month dry spell, and many of the most frequent contributors are retired or semi-retired. With the small !voter pool that's left, it doesn't take much for two or three people to be too busy to check in a certain time frame and thus stall a nomination. —

Support - Excellent EV. This is a perfect encyclopedic photograph of the object in question. Remember this is not wikicommons, these pictures are meant to inform, not to wow.

Support - High quality photos of boring products is Wikipedia at its best. Evan-Amos' work is highly valued and
used widely across the internet. -

Support - It's another Evan-Amos image. Always good to see his crispy images of gaming consoles.

Support - Like the other Evan-Amos FPs, this one is of high technical quality and is very helpful for illustrating the subject in articles. I almost wish that someone (ideally him) would just nominate most/all of his stuff, one by one, since they're all of consistently high quality and usefulness. --PresN 14:41, 31 May 2017 (UTC)reply
