File:Jizerka, Stará pila.jpg

bad quality, better pictures available RomanM82 (talk) 19:21, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Keep The photograph is properly localized and described. No other photo from the same angle and composition is available. No other night photo of this object and place is available. The look and feel of the photo is adequate for the time of night and distance it was taken. The object is clearly recognizable and visible on it. No valid reason to delete the photo. --ŠJů (talk) 21:14, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
•  Delete The photo is far below Commons quality standards (blurred, unsharp) and per RomanM82: there are many other pictures available. There is no urge to have night photo of the object so we can wait for better one. ;-) — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 06:52, 29 August 2023 (UTC) (PS. Souzním v takových případech spíš s Aktronem).

  Generally speaking, "out of scope" reason fits rather to insufficiently described images of unidentifiable places and objects, even if they were technically perfect and won awards in local competitions. As far as technical quality is concerned, what is decisive is whether the image can be recognized as how a given object or place looks at a given time and from a given point of view and under the given conditions. Minor technical defects or imperfection can reduce the usability of a photo, but usually not its information content. The selective elimination system can be used when selecting images for a Wikipedia page, Wikidata item or a Commons gallery page. In Commons as such, the fact that there are slightly better images of the same object from a different angle, in a different composition and under different conditions is not a valid reason for deletion. Btw., also many valuable paintings, historical photographs, enlarged recordings from security cameras, or astronomical photographs are sometimes a bit blurred. Absolute sharpness is not an absolute criterion for the value of images. We probably won't delete the scratched and blurry photo File:Joseph Saxton. Arsenal and Cupola, Philadelphia Central High School, 1839.jpg just because you can find a more colorful, sharper and more pleasing image in The Watchtower, which depicts something a little different, or because the same object is captured more accurately and cleanly in contemporary drawings. We also won't delete the vast majority of landscape paintings just because they aren't usually sharp like a photograph or because they don't have clear outlines like a children's comic. --ŠJů (talk) 14:07, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
