As a general rule, I'd oppose that statement - different views can convey different information. In this case, I'm more neutral. If replacement is the consensus other than my vote, treat my vote as replace. I do think this whole replace thing feels like it could unintentionally derail the nomination, though, so we should probably be careful about that.

  • Hi Armbrust, looking at the above I see 5 users who favor "replace", 3 users in bold letters and 2 users in plain text. So I don't understand the close? Bammesk (talk) 01:48, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    • See "How to comment for Candidate Images" in the lead of WP:FPC. "Replace" isn't an option. Armbrust The Homunculus 02:45, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      • Ok. "Replace" implied "delist" (replacement can only happen after a delist), so the intent of the participants was "delist and replace", but the participants didn't express their intent in the proper format. I suggest moving the nom to the section: "Older nominations requiring additional input from users" and then pinging the participants asking them to express their intent in the proper format. Not promoting, at this point, effectively ignores the intent of the participants. Bammesk (talk) 03:23, 2 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
