Comment I really don't think that people in a shot are a big evil of some kind. The enc of File:Honeymoon Bay Sunset.jpg is pretty low, but I think the person adds to it, for example. Noodle snacks (talk) 06:30, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is a cruise-company exclusive island, so it's not going to be crowded. The best way to get enc would be to have a cruise ship somewhere in the picture. MER-C 08:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose used only in a gallery in the main article Little Stirrup Cay. MER-C 08:11, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per MER-C. An image in a gallery decreases the value it has to the article. Zoo Fari 00:11, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Reluctant oppose per above two editors regarding its use in a gallery, nice image though—Chris! _ct 19:13, 4 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but the problem for me comes exemplified in the nomination "stereotypical beach photo" - so not exactly packed with encyclopedic value. The Rambling Man (talk) 00:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
