- Oppose Not striking. Glaurung 18:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- From the top of this page: "Featured pictures...add significantly to articles, either by illustrating article content particularly well, or being eye-catching to the point where users will want to read its accompanying article." (emphasis mine). It isn't that striking, but (imho) it does illustrate the content of the articles its on well - particularly Earl's Court tube station and District Line.

- True, but I could take a picture of my office chair (which is absolutely common) and try to get it featured because it is very representative of my own office chair. I'm pushing a bit here, but what I mean is that it just look like a pretty common station. So it may well illustrate Earl's Court tube station, but it is not eye catching and don't deserve IMHO to be featured, hence my vote. Glaurung 07:21, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

- I like it. Support. --SPUI (talk) 02:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. Nothing particularly special about this one. Enochlau 15:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose Unfortunately, I think that if someone completely new to Wikipedia saw this as a Featured Picture, his or her first thought would be "What's so special about that photo?" instead of "Wow, that really gives me a good idea of what Earl's Court station looks like!". I don't think it's striking enough out of context, such that readers would want to take a look at the article. ••MDD4696 ( talk - contribs ) 16:48, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- ( − ) Oppose Agree with Mdd4696 --Fir0002 21:32, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak oppose - it's not that stunning, but illustrates the article well. Appears a bit slanted as well, or that may just be an illusion... Flcelloguy (A note?) 17:32, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oppose. While it illustrates the subject well, it isn't visually interesting enough to entice people to read the article. Camerafiend 02:40, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
