- Support the previous nomination had 5 support votes and none opposed. I think that this image should cross the finish line. --Pine✉ 04:51, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose renominating a photo that failed to garner 7 votes in a nomination that closed 3 days ago. Not voting also counts as a lack of interest. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:19, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Ikan Kekek I think that you're being a bit too negative. If the previous nom was generally opposed or only had 2 people in favor then I would agree that re-nominating an image shortly after a previous unsuccessful nomination might not be very likely to lead to the image passing, but that's not the case here. --Pine✉ 05:34, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- I'd really prefer for you to nominate something else. Even though I previously supported this nomination, I noted problems with the photo. There are other photos that have never been nominated, and I just disagree with the idea of continually renominating photos until they get approved. There is sometimes a reason to renominate, but surely not 3 days later. Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:31, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't agree with such a quick renomination. Wait a couple of months and hope for different voters. Charles (talk) 10:26, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose As I understand it, quick re-nominations are ok if the image is significantly altered from the previous nom, not just to nag the present FPC community to vote for it. In half a year, the then voters may come to a different conclusion. --Cart (talk) 10:38, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Strong oppose Allowing such a quick renomination would be tantamount to ruining FPC, as all nominators who had their nominations fail could immediately renominate their image multiple times. Frankly, I find it shows a lack of respect of the voting process. Perhaps we should discuss a rule change: that an image can only be nominated once a year or something.--Peulle (talk) 11:30, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I disagree with the opposes above because the previous nomination recieved 5 support votes and no opposes, but I am in the minority. I have started a discussion at Commons talk:Featured picture candidates#Minimum time before a renomination in which I invite Ikan Kekek, Charles, Peulle to participate. --Pine✉ 20:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- I missed Cart in my previous ping. --Pine✉ 20:23, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for the 'ping' Pine. I will probably cast my vote on this, but since you've been away from FPC a while you may not know that we've just been through the wringer of one of the biggest scandals this year here (see FPC talk page), so it's understandable if some users like me are a little weary of debates right now. --Cart (talk) 21:04, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
