It's actually discussed in detail in the first article now, so the objection is overcome. However, it isn't actually in the article rotational symmetry anymore, and that should be removed from the list. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:36, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per myself in April. The article is over illustrated, but this one should definitely stay where it is. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • oppose per my earlier oppose it looks nice but has limited encyclopaedic value. As an architectural feature it could be anything: a mosque, a palace, someone's house. Mathematically it looks like it has 32-fold rotational symmetry but look closely and the pattern in the main central region appears 16 times, but alternately mirrored so the rotational symmetry is 8-fold, confirmed by the eight-pointed star in the very centre. This can't be seen in the thumbnail as the middle looks like noise. So it has very limited value as an example of symmetry.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 19:48, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
But it is now discussed in the mosque article, so it may have EV there now. I agree about it having much less EV in symmetry. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:17, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
