  • Support per nom, but shouldn't it have been closed at FPC before being nommed here? I don't believe an image should have active noms in both places at once. --jjron (talk) 06:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, it was a clear failure at FPC and I nom'ed it after its 7 days open + 2 of inactivity, so it was only awaiting the closing process. wadester16 16:19, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
