**Original** – 858 × 600 pixels, a good size. Sunny - no shadows. Fine atmospheric shot. It would also demonstrate clearer the subject, if potentially it could be any buildings in the picture - but there aren't any. Sorry. Also we were sacrificing dynamic range by jumping to 320 km per hour.

Reason: A new sensational unknown van Gogh. Last chance, Internet will soon be deleted anyway. That's a good reason .... Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Internet
Articles in which this image appears: no articles, no EV, not very useful. Interesting propaganda artifact, but everbody must oppose due to historical inaccuracy. Consensus is impossible to determine without additional input from participating in the discussion.

Fierce Unreasoning Support as co-nominator – This work comes from the artist's Late Not So Great Period. Some art historians assert he painted it as a commission from the famed German Post-Impressionist Fredinand Porscheé, but others note that Porscheé then was working as a waiter at an établissement in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, where he could scarcely have been earning the sums required to hire the late Van Gogh.
Gaugin arrives at Bikini

An alternate theory, advanced by French art critic Louis Vaciller (1870-1943), is that the oddly shaped yellow vehicle is Van Gogh's hallucinatory vision of the future, inspired by copious draughts of absinthe. Curiously, the vehicle portrayed is missing a left front turn-signal, which Vaciller identifies as a veiled clue to the enduring controversy over which ear Van Gogh slashed off following an artistic dispute with Gaugin – who departed forthwith for the gentler clime of Bikini Atoll (right).

Oppose - This isn't a picture of a video game console by Evan-Amos. GamerPro64 13:55, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Not enough clear features for a "featured picture". It is entirely unclear whether those are eyes or nostrils on the front. Perhaps put it to a test instead. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:34, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
