• Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects/Architectural elements#Single stained glass windows
•  Info Rose window, Basilica of St. Anthony, Santos, Brazil. It is a neo-Ghotic Catholic church inaugurated in 1945. Created and uploaded by Mike Peel - nominated by ★ -- ★ 00:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Support An unusual outdoor view of a stained glass window. -- ★ 00:41, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Support --Wilfredor (talk) 00:54, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Weak support Great motif and per nomination, very distinctive. Image quality (sharpness) maybe a little below our best. Cmao20 (talk) 01:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very dirty. This facade needs a good renovation. Normal image, not spectacular motif, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:58, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

  A renovation could end in the elimination of the perception of oldness, I think that this state is the correct state. Giving a serious analogy like trying to clean an old coin, it would completely lose its value. Wilfredor (talk) 03:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

  It's part of the Gothic mood! ★ 03:32, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

• Wow factor is low with this level of filth. It's not a question of accuracy (cf. coin) nor a question of technical quality. Just a matter of aesthetics. And apart from the facade, the glass is blueish with no depth. Poor light. Perhaps better from inside -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

• Just to note that quite a lot of Santos needs a good renovation! Which is one of the reasons why I spent so long there documenting it for Commons. ;-) This is actually in quite good repair compared a lot of other buildings in the area, and this church is actually right on the beachfront (beach was directly behind me on this photo), which adds to their challenge. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

• But that's an excellent picture for documentation on Commons. Thanks for the upload. Just not one of the best of the website in my opinion. Featured pictures need more than "being useful" -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

• P.S., File:At Santos, Brazil 2017 170.jpg is the inside. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:05, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

• Not a FP either (too high ISO), but an interesting image for sure. Thanks -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose I have to agree with Basile, unspectacular light, detail just ok, not beautiful due to dirt Poco a poco (talk) 08:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Support as photographer. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 12:03, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Support Great pic. The decay of Santos is incredibly well portrayed. --Joalpe (talk) 14:08, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

[No] Canvassed vote. See Voting issues with Rodrigo Tetsuo Argenton and Joalpe. Very sad to see that no lesson was learnt from this episode. It looks like Joalpe does not visit FPC to participate constructively, but just to support the Brazilian friend. Previous vote was also for a Brazilian candidature nominated by the same in 2021. And older archives are even more explicit. This team really doesn't understand the goal of the FPC section, which aims to promote the best images of Commons, not to support exclusively the Brazilian friends -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:55, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

For the record, I don't think this represent the whole picture. See [1] for this discussion, and rebuttal by Joalpe. Yann (talk) 15:33, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Oppose Per Basile Morin. -- Karelj (talk) — Preceding undated comment was added at 16:19, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
•  Oppose per Basile, and I definitely prefer the photo of this rose window from the interior and prefer that view in general vs the much less interesting view of the rose window of any cathedral from the outside, probably without exception. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:08, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Opposers won. ★ 09:40, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment I comment a bit after the battle, but I would have love to have an FP with this kind of subject, however the assymetric framing/crop is really disturbing. --PierreSelim (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
