Nodding Pincushion Protea Flower Bud edit

Nodding Pincushion, Leucospermum 'Veldfire' Flower Bud

Reason: The image hardly passed the nomination in the first place, the description was changed few times (my fault) and the image is nothing special.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:26, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and note that perhaps some should heed some of the essays here, rather than being hasty. Can't see any reason to delist this one. - Peripitus (Talk) 05:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please believe me, Peripitus and everybody, my nomination for delisting has nothing to do with any comments by any user and no it is not WP:Point. It is my honest opinion. Yes I took this image, yes I supported it, but now I've changed my mind about FP images in general. I believe that only very special images should be getting FP status and I just do not consider this image of mine to be a very special one.It might have been more special, if at least it was taken in South Africa, where the plant comes from,but it was taken in San Francisco Botanical Garden. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 06:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I saw signs of a fuse blowing. A strong cup of tea may help. This picture, as found in the consensus here and the one on commons, is clearly FP material. Well taken, well composed, good looking specimen - Peripitus (Talk) 11:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, if it feels this way, but please believe me there no fuse blowing. The flower is a common one, very easily reproduced and that's why the image is not special enogh to be FP IMO. Once again I am sorry, if it feels as I am disrupting Wikipedia.--Mbz1 (talk) 13:27, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A good image that still deserves the title. Some maturity for a change, Mbz1, would be nice. -Fcb981(talk:contribs) 05:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think Mbz1 does some great work around here, and I don't want to get caught up in any Wikidrama. While this may be an easily reproduced image, I really don't see how it could be improved upon. Encyclopedic and high-quality, definitely deserving of FP status. faithless (^speak) 05:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
