yes, I was notified. Checking criteria for delisting, I don't mind if image becomes obsolete at some point: agree that something that was good at 2013 may become upgraded with better one at 2019 Artemy Voikhansky (talk) 08:22, 23 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked on the reference desk about the subspecies and gender. The image was taken in Israel, and if this is C. r. syriacus then the image can be reinserted. MER-C 13:33, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I have inserted the image in the English Wikipedia article with sex and subspecies identified MER-C Artemy Voikhansky Mattximus Bammesk. Still recommend delist as FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:39, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree - now that the primary motivation for delisting has been addressed, I don't think this image's use by date has been reached. MER-C 17:25, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Being a photographer behind the image, I'd refrain from expressing an opinion on the matter as I might be not as neutral as I'm expected to be. I'll leave this on the community. Artemy Voikhansky (talk) 18:49, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Image is now in a gallery. I think use in a gallery usually means not significant encyclopedic value, plus there is a FP in the infobox. On the other hand, this is the only depiction of that subspecies and the composition is a clear depiction of the full bird. I am neutral on this nom. Bammesk (talk)
A sidenote (my opinion) about nominating subspecies that appear only in a gallery: I see sufficient EV if the nom has at least 2 images (i.e. a set, of 2 subspecies), in which case the nom is an automatic depiction of subspecies variation; or if there is sufficient text in the article describing the particular (the nominated) subspecies.
