 Comment Rhododendrites Because that is a continuation of photographs and according to the rules, they can all go if they are related, but if you think it is better to just put one, I have no problems, the last image on the right. -- LLs (discussion) 02:15, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I didn't mean to imply it was against the rules. It is certainly within the rules. The sequence itself, to me, just seems very minimal as compared to the content of any one of these individually, which don't seem that different from one another. We'll see what others say, though. — Rhododendrites talk |  02:18, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The title and description are wrong. This is not the first female space walk. It's the first all-female space walk. The first woman to walk in space was Svetlana Savitskaya in 1984 when she space walked with a man. Seven Pandas (talk) 02:34, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Seven Pandas Correct, but this is the first where there are only women, so it is recognized as a historical event, the same American government recognized it as such. -- LLs (discussion) 02:40, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment - The fact that Trump called it the first female spacewalk - I hope that isn't your reason for using the term. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:55, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Ikan Kekek No, the detail of the difference between the first woman to make a walk (1984) and the first space walk made only by women (2019) has already been added. -- LLs (discussion) 03:02, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Language is important for image titles. As stated above, having a space walk by only women is called an "all-female space walk" in English and that is how this is decribed in media. "First female space walk" is the first time a woman in any company makes a space walk, there is a difference, so in this case the set title is wrong. --Cart (talk) 06:44, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Even though I'm clearly biased about this event (Jessica Meir's mother is Swedish, so this is huge in media here), I don't see this as a good set nom. The images are only slightly different, and in any other environment they could almost be seen as just zooming in on a subject. Having three images seems superfluous. First human on the moon was also huge and it didn't get a set nom. I would recommend that you {{withdraw}} this and select one image for a single nom. The titles of the images are also incorrect English and should be changed from "female" to "all-female" per my comment above. --Cart (talk) 06:58, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Agree Cart. Plus the photo on the left isn't good at all. Seven Pandas (talk) 11:51, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Firstly I don't think this meets the requirement of a "set" nomination. The point of a "set" nomination is that one can describe the criteria for a finite number of images. Front/back; day-time/evening/night-time. This is just three images arbitrarily taken where the women are posing for the camera. Us photographers have lots of such sets on our hard discs, and typically pick one from them that is the best. I'm not really seeing any one of them at FP level. If the "spacewalk" is the "wow" then, well, they aren't space walking. I think generally that historic events are best nominated sometime afterwards. This gives plenty time to collect some photos and distance to judge objectively. -- Colin (talk) 16:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per above. Interesting event, but I'm not sure why we need three FPs of it, and it's not very coherent as a set. I'm not sure any of these quite have sufficient wow for FP. Cmao20 (talk) 19:06, 21 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Seems like three selfies with little value. At least make it look more important, these have no wow and I wouldn't be able to tell what was going on without an explanation. --Boothsift 00:01, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Cart and others. Daniel Case (talk) 04:01, 23 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
