- Oppose (sorry to be a bore). The image was only added to the article a few days ago, and the article is already carrying more images than it can really support. From WP:WIAFP: "It is preferable to wait a reasonable period of time (at least 7 days) after the image is added to the article before nominating it, though this may be ignored in obvious cases, such as replacing a low-resolution version of an image with a higher resolution of the same image." In this case, I'd rather see the image stable for quite a lot longer than 7 days. Josh Milburn (talk) 06:36, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
