  Having checked, the data used for graphics is actually machine code for drawing text boxes and such, so there's no risk of there being graphics data extractable. As such, I'm convinced by the copyright status. This is genuinely non-image data, processed oddly, and not enough code to be significant.  Support Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Missing wow. Sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Did you mean "missing no" wow? ★ 21:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

• No no, pun was intended, sorry if not obvious 🤡 (No missing No).

I would not support a QR code either, nor a barcode. This picture is certainly useful for the project, but the image on itself is just made of a few pixels, arranged in a pseudo-chaotic order. It is apparently linked to a phenomenon in the Nintendo world appreciated by video game players. I don't find any artistic merit in this work, and the event in itself is rather insignificant in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:15, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Maybe you're not part of the geek world, but I think everyone who is an expert or enthusiastic gamer would clearly recognize this vector. ★ 01:19, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

• It's not a question of being geek in my opinion, it's just that this picture measures only 24 × 56 pixels, and represents nothing. But even if it was Super Mario, Zelda or Lara Croft, I would simply find the resolution limited. By the way, recognizing an icon, whatever it is, Mona Lisa or else, is not a sufficient condition to promote such candidates in my opinion. Perhaps a COM:VI, less likely a COM:QI (too simple), but definitely not a FP for me. By the way, there's a large number of different versions in the history, some have different colors. I have no idea what are supposed to be the real colors here, but that may be an other issue. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

•  Support One of the most recognizable glitches of all time (and luckily in the public domain). ★ 21:38, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
•  Comment I'm going to guess that the lack of participation here is because most people, like me, have no idea what we're looking at. There's no context provided in the nomination, no context in the description, etc. beyond saying "from pokemon". Why is it worth promoting? — Rhododendrites ^talk |  15:46, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

  The manifestation of the missingno glitch that was infamous in pokemon Red and Blue, essential for understanding how the glitch appeared in the pokemon games and used by multiple wikimedia projects to describe missingno. Although lacking artistic or asthetically pleasing value, it really is an informative image nonetheless. Also great to show on commons during april fools!
