Trabant P 601 S, Baujahr 1986
@Daniel Case: I remembered. Best regards -- Spurzem (talk) 19:02, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose We have Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Opel Rekord P1, Bj. 1958 (Foto Sp 2016-06-05).JPG already. How many models of cars are we going to feature with this same exact composition? Just these 2, or will there be a whole series? INeverCry 20:22, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Please show me the direction that it is not allowed to present nearly the same motive once more or that it would be not allowed to feature! -- Spurzem (talk) 20:46, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen FPCs opposed here a number of times because they were too close in composition to images of the same location or subject. This image is featurable on its own, but how many cars in this identical composition would be featurable? If we feature 2, why not 5 or 10, as long as it's a different car each time? Please remember though that this is my opinion and my single vote. My supports and opposes are no big deal. Just one guy's opinion. INeverCry 20:56, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps this composition for cars ("shells for humans") is the equivalent of gastropods with black background ("shells for snails") as a pleasing way to show the different models/species in FPs? w.carter-Talk 03:08, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You definitely get points for cleverness on that one. But car after car, in the same basic lighting, on the same road, shot from the same vantage point?... They'll all have the honor of my one little oppose if they're brought here to FPC... INeverCry 03:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support yes, I'd like to see the next hundred different cars ... --Alchemist-hp (talk) 04:25, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    If that'll get him 100 FPs, I'd roll out 100 motorcycles after that... INeverCry 04:47, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    And I would absolutely support you on that project. Since I originally come from the writing side of this project, I don't see it as giving someone 100 FPs, I see it as getting FPs for 100 different articles (or rather hundreds of articles since they could be used for multiple languages). Also, hey, we all have our signature photo subjects... --w.carter-Talk 09:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Sorry, may be QI but not outstanding enough for a feature IMHO. At just 6 megapixels it shows poor detail or sharpness, and there’s visible motion blur on all the details. I’d crop half of the bottom space out as well, there’s too much below and too little above the car. --Kreuzschnabel 05:10, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - I like this picture and consider it a good feature. In addition to being a quality photo, the Trabant, as the proletariat's car in East Germany, is historically important. And on the question of featuring numerous cars in similar compositions: Why not? We feature numerous church interiors with similar compositions, too. A worthy photo is a worthy photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:46, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
