•  Comment - I'm very reluctant to support any more nominations of featured picture sets until the problem of their not displaying at Commons:Featured pictures is solved. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:38, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment And I also think these maps are not similar enough to be a series and should be nominated (and likely featured) individually, although I understand your argument that they share a theme. But they are just too dissimilar in appearance. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:53, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

• Just to be clear, I  Oppose featuring all of these as a set, though I'd be very likely to support them if nominated individually. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:45, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment A lot of FP potential here... not sure whether a set nomination is the best choice though --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:50, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose As a set. There are many other "Christian maps", the choice is random, maybe other are better. My advice, chose one you like, restore it carefully, and nominate it separately, you will gain a good success for sure !--Jebulon (talk) 20:29, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment Hello Jebulon and all. Thank you for your recommendation. I will follow it in case this set will not collect the appropriate votes. This is the first set that I nominate, so I was not sure about the exact definition of "set". My understating is that a set has to be a group of similar images. These images are not similar in terms of aesthetics. However, all of them represent the same thing. They are produced for the same purpose and in fact they are similar in terms of content: These Christian maps represent the effort of Christian theology to describe "heaven" or "hell" for its believers. So, that is why I thought to nominate them as a group. But I understand your point. I was trying to find a page about the definition of the "Set" and examples, but I could not find any. So, I thought just to nominate and see if I understood the right thing. Thanxs EVDiam (talk) 18:32, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
  •  Comment As for me, a set should be complete in some way, and maybe chronologicaly classified, or something. But it is just an opinion, and there are no specific rules. I understand very well the purpose, but is the set "close" ? Well... difficult. Nice pictures anyway.--Jebulon (talk) 19:51, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
