Diagram summarising control of stomach acid secretion
Reason
I am not convinced that this diagram, while clearly very useful, is a great choice as a featured picture. I do not feel that it would pass at FPC today for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is not in SVG format, which would be more that suitable. Secondly, the diagram is covered in somewhat random capitalisation- "Blood Circulation"? "Lumen of Body"? And so on. Thirdly, it is unreferenced; I know a lot of people prefer to see references for diagrams such as this. When placed side-by-side with other diagrams in the category (for instance, File:Circulatory System en.svg, File:Steroidogenesis.svg or File:Complete neuron cell diagram en.svg), it is not in the same league.

  • Weak delist. It's not bad, but I guess it wouldn't pass today. -- King of ♠ 19:23, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist per nom. Yeah, OK, although it's pretty well used after all these years, it's very diagrammatic compared to other illustrations, and looks like there's no chance of getting the creator to update it as he appears to have been gone for several years. I see on his talkpage at least one message suggesting this contains an error/s as well. --jjron (talk) 15:14, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The main arguments about titles and format seem like easy things to fix. I think rather than delisting if someone would step up and fix those things a D & R would be the better choice. Didn't there use to be a page for bringing to light pictures that needed work? Cat-five - talk 20:01, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Changing this to svg will not be easy- it'll probably have to be completely redrawn. There's also the problem of the complete lack of visual interest and the possibility of errors. If someone is willing to do the work, great, but this should be delisted in the mean time. J Milburn (talk) 08:23, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • Fair enough, figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Cat-five - talk 22:18, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
