I almost didn't nominate it, since it isn't really the greatest picture, but I figured a better one will come available then we can do a D&R. Dusty777 19:50, 19 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps, but if this passes, our toothless delist process would no doubt fail to delist the other, meaning we'd be stuck indefinitely with two near-identical images. What's the point of that? J Milburn (talk) 22:18, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks to Chick Bowen for unearthing that old FP... I browsed through the FP section, but failed to find that one (my fault.) That FP appears to have a lower technical quality... I can start replacing the current FP with this nominated picture in all articles in which the current FP appears, then start a delist nomination. I don't think the FP community will leave us stuck with two FP's of the Moon if one can no longer contribute EV. Dusty777 02:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand Milburn's frustration with the delist process, which, frankly, just hasn't worked recently for whatever reason. In this case I'd hope it would be clear enough. I will leave off a vote on this for now, and ask somebody to ping me when the delist is started, which ought to follow immediately assuming this is promoted. (If this is not promoted, you can of course start a delist and replace nomination whenever you choose.) Chick Bowen 15:56, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
