  • Disagree:(File:Biang (regular script).svg) is more beautiful, (File:Biáng (regular script).svg) is a little bit ugly.----36.236.169.244 08:15, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Whether is more beautiful or not, I think this proverb, explains everything: "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
    I want to point out that the old version will never disappear, if you prefer that version, it can be downloaded from the "Biáng (regular script).svg"'s file history.
    Finally, I want to clarify that what I will say next is from my point of view, and is only my opinion: To me both versions are beautiful in its own way, but to me that is not the matter. The new version corrects some mistakes that the old version has. The user "Great Brightstar" requested me personally to upload a new version of the following image: , so the first step was to create a new version of the Biáng. So that is it, that is the origin of the Biáng's new version. The second step is to animate that character, which I will upload as soon as I complete it.

 Question:@FanNihongo: As the creator of the old version, I wonder which mistakes are in the old version, besides the 丶 stroke in the left 長. --　Buernia　Talk　 15:16, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Delete @Buernia: I retire what I said about mistakes. Because in my opinion this is a topic very subjective and personal: where one person see mistakes, other person may not see them. No, what boils down here is whether it looks artificial or not.
That is why I made a new version of the Biáng: it is because to me it didn't look too natural. Therefore I made my version that looks more like written with a brush. Of course that is not possible because I do not have brushes. So I made it by trying to imitate the style of this font: "TW-MOE-Std-Kai Regular"(download link here). As much as I could.
On the other hand, I want to point out that someone has already updated the Biáng character, combining elements of your version and my version. Making it a more natural and calligraphic version.

So that is it, the nominated image is still redundant, because someone has already uploaded an improved version. FanNihongo (talk) 04:45, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Disagree: (File:Biang (regular script).svg) has more consistent stroke weight compared to (File:Biáng (regular script).svg). If there is an issue with the old version, modification should have been made **based on** the original SVG file (which is editable and has some stroke separated already) instead of recreating and thinning the character out.103.18.0.34 09:54, 18 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
 Disagree: The style of "TW-MOE-Std-Kai Regular" does not mean that it is more correct, on the contrary, many people also criticise it. —Create account 658,020,098 (talk) 13:28, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no valid reason for deletion. The image is not redundant, as is shown by the discussion about the image. Of course, the file description can be modified to explain the differences between the two versions. --Ellywa (talk) 20:50, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
