  • We have a couple of FPs of auroras: [1] [2]. If this passes we can delist one of the inferior images. Also we usually wait 7 days before nominating an image (per FP criterion #5) just to make sure the image remains stable in the article. Bammesk (talk) 01:37, 7 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Of those two the first isn't used on the Aurora article, since the aurora itself isn't terribly interesting but it's still valuable as a featured picture of Amundsen-Scott station, and the second is a video. I think there's value in keeping all three. We could switch the category of this image to Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture if it would make it less redundant. --Ahecht (TALK
