Comment. Far too frantic for me. I can hardly watch it. 109.156.50.178 (talk) 01:28, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree. You'd think that to portray the making of something that is supposed to promote one's spirituality, the pace of the video could have been slowed down a bit. CorinneSD (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - it takes days to build a mandala. Sometimes several weeks. To put all that together and compress in 1 minute and 15 seconds it's not easy. I am affraid that they do look like this. Hafspajen (talk) 15:08, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Are there any OTRS records for this? Is the music freely licensed? Who composed it? - hahnchen 17:30, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I've asked MRG if she has record of an explicit release. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 17:41, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Request - Can we please suspend this while MRG investigates a bit? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:24, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: Shall I suspend? - The Herald (here I am) 09:01, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I would rather postpone closure after voting period expired rather than suspending. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 12:17, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cest good.. - The Herald (here I am) 12:46, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ALright. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:56, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Postpone closure until the copyright status of the underlying music is clarified. (BTW the image was also nominated for speedy deletion due to lack of permission.) Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 14:18, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
