Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: underexposed in some parts and does not show anything special. Subject is unclear — do you want to focus the napping man? His feet are hidden by the bike. | Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed. |

- I think the usage of this template is in this case a bit exaggerated (imho). Subject is "Nap under the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower" as the file description says and this is also what the pic shows. Of course the pic has underexposed parts but I think that we should use this template only in cases where it is more than obvious that it never gets through. This picture has at least potential as it is a very well spotted scene. --AngMoKio (talk) 16:09, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe the FPX template could be reworded, but it's a clear FPX case here :
- Underexposition
- Value: While subjective, I don't see a clear value for this picture. It looks more like he was killed or had an heart attack than he is taking a nap. Try to take a nap with your legs hanging in stairs like that... fake, obviously (if it's a nap)
- Crop : top of the building not visible
- Perspective : we only see the legs of the person
- Symbolic meaning or relevance : none, IMHO
- FPX templates are used when it seems clear to the voter that the picture will no get support votes. It is based on his analysis of the picture compared to pictures with the same (absence) qualities. There's no reasons to vote 5 days for a pictures that will obviously not make it. IMO there's no overuse since there's still a lot of pictures getting removed because of the rule of the 5th day. And in general, those pictures (5th day rule) are not as bad as the pictures who get FPXed. And since FPX tags can be removed by anyone with a support vote, in the end, the person who's putting that template has no more "voting power" than anyone else. --S23678 (talk) 17:11, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
- It was just a thought...it sometimes seems a bit harsh to me. Especially for some new nominators. But concerning this picture I think quite different ..there are technical problems, but it is quite creative. I would like to see more such pics here. --AngMoKio (talk) 19:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

- Thank you for your critique, but I'd like to add that I'm telling the truth that the man really was napping. And evenetually I saw him wake up. I thought this photograph illustrated rest and sleep, especially as he was sleeping under the bells which would wake him up. The bell tower is also a notable landmark, at least in North Carolina. --Specious (talk) 02:45, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
