- Reason
- Again, this picture has been removed from the article in which it was originally used. It seems that the picture is popular among the FPC crowd, whilst unpopular amongst the editors of that article. Last time it was nominated for delisting, it was added back into the article with some attempts at discussion. I don't think adding it back again would be a good idea; featured pictures should not be the cause of disputes between "featured picture people" and editors of specific articles.

- Delist. I support the use of the image in the article but unfortunately also accept the consensus of the editors in that article. They seem to have been overwhelmingly convinced that this looks like rubber and not like the surface of a liquid. I disagree, but eh, what can you do? Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:42, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
- If you disagree, then why go with mob psychology? If the editors in that article feel strongly enough about it, they should voice their opinions in this themselves (and in case they don't know about this delist nomination, it might be a good idea to inform them in the discussion). Anyway, I think that this picture is special because it actually shows the contour of the water and how it "bulges out", whereas the other picture that Jujutacular linked below does not show this as clearly.

- I'm not going with mob psychology. I've registered my disagreement already as there has already been extensive discussion about the inclusion in the article on the article talk page. We're really only delisting this image because they refused to accept it as a valid illustrative image for surface tension (the consensus was that it looked like rubber, not water and was therefore misleading), not because of the merits of the technical image itself.

- Indeed, and this image is loads better than the paper clip image there (imo). Jujutacular talk 19:33, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
