- Reason
- An SVG rendering of Osama Bin Laden's safehouse in Pakistan, which was the site of the 2 May 2011 raid that ultimately resulted in his death. The diagram points out areas of interest, and is an interesting piece of history for our time, all the more so since it was bulldozed by the Pakastani government after the US raid.

- @National Names 2000: I forgot to mention this, but this an SVG file, and it can be easily resized to any needed dimension. Accordingly then, while not at the 2500 x 2500 px mandatory limit required for photographs, as an SVG image, in this specific case, that is not an issue. TomStar81 (Talk) 03:26, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- That's correct. SVGs are exempt from the 1500px * 1500px minimum because, in theory, they are infinitely rescalable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:51, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose - Hate to be a party pooper, but the SVGs which pass are usually a bit more complex. This is a bit... simple... for FPC, I think. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:39, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
