- Delist and replace Far better. You can also use a sharpened and denoised version here if you want, created with the excellent (but not free) software Topaz Denoise AI -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:29, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
- Basile, I agree, your edit is an improvement. I think it's best that you do the uploading, not me. Could you please upload it on top of the existing version on this page. I will update the credits. Thanks. Bammesk (talk) 01:54, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
Done No need to credit me, I did nothing except run the software with the default values. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:28, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
- D&R – Visually more accessible. – Sca (talk) 14:09, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

- Delist in cases like this could indeed be made directly by an admin. --Janke | Talk 18:37, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
- It's in the rules. No usage at the end of a delist is grounds for delisting, regardless of votes. The delist serves as warning to put it in articles of it's not to be auto-delisted, but that's unlikely in this case. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.8% of all FPs 20:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f4/Leaf_1_web.jpg/250px-Leaf_1_web.jpg)
- Reason
- Relatively low resolution (1,024 × 768 px), partially blurry, lots of JPEG artifacting. (Plus the plant is unidentified, limiting the image's encylopedic value.)

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/UK_Roundabout_8_Cars.gif/250px-UK_Roundabout_8_Cars.gif)
- Reason
- As much as it's a useful gif for demonstrating how roundabouts work, it's definitely not the best we can offer and most definitely not a featured picture a decade-and-a-half after being promoted. Our standards have changed and this is a low-quality stuttering 25 frame gif that arguably has many of the cars driving dangerously (and therefore not a very educational gif in regard to road safety). Undeniably fails WP:FP?#3 and arguably WP:FP?#2.

- Reason
- Image is below current minimum resolution requirements (1,600 × 1,067 pixels); the scale is just a guess according to the original FPC discussion (based on measurements of a different spider); the licensing is crappy (CC-BY-NC + GFDL 1.2-only); and natural backgrounds are now preferred for animal photos (AFAICT).
