Nominated by:
Nayan j Nath (talk) on 2026-04-14 07:49 (UTC)
Scope:
Goru Bihu
Reason:
Goru Bihu has always been an important part of Assamese culture, especially in highlighting the bond between people and their cattle. However, due to the decline in cattle domestication ,this age old tradition is slowly losing its place and may fade away in the coming years if the trend continues. -- Nayan j Nath (talk)

  •  Support Best in scope and Used. -AjayDas (talk) 14:42, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The category is fine. The scope is too long: comments should be posted separately in the "reason" field. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 15:55, 15 April 2026 (UTC)
 Comment If the category is appropriate, a longer scope should not be an issue, as it can be edited.-Nayan j Nath (talk) 02:40, 16 April 2026 (UTC)
 Comment A simple scope of Goru Bihu would be good. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:41, 18 April 2026 (UTC)

Scope:
Haworthia cymbiformis - Young plants

 Comment As a sub-scope, "young plants" seems a more descriptive term than a stage of plant life. What distinguishes this imae from being an adult plant? --GRDN711 (talk) 05:18, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

  •  Comment Thank you for your input; I have difficulty reading as I am dyslexic. The "adult plants" produce flowers and the leaves are thicker. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:06, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

Scope:
Sommerblumenschau Pavilion (Blumengärten Hirschstetten)
Reason:
I think this is the best image to show the Sommerblumenschau Pavilion, symbol of the Flower Gardens Hirschstetten. -- Aciarium ⚒ (talk)

 Comment It's not being used --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 06:38, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

  •  Support Best in scope and useful. Promoting it as VI will encourage use by some Wikimedia project. --Tagooty (talk) 06:41, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
  •  Comment I don't think VI often encourages use except when the VI image is best among many. It is best to use it on a wiki before VI. If you cannot find a wiki to use it, then I suspect it is not valuable. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:52, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
  •  Comment The 6 VI criteria only require that the image be the best in its suitably generic scope, not that it be already used. I don't think the onus should be on the nominator/photographer to find a project to use the image, as long as the 6 criteria are met. --Tagooty (talk) 09:09, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
  • @Archaeodontosaurus: @Tagooty: @Charlesjsharp: I have added the image to a corresponding article on DE:WP. --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 13:02, 19 April 2026 (UTC)
  •  Support Thanks. Not being used is not a reason to oppose, but I will generally not support an image that is not used. To me, looking at an VI image that is not used is usually a waste of my time and it should be the nominator's responsibility to show that the image can be used.

Reason:
At least a lady ! This is a 1851 rare daguerréotype of the exotic dancer, actress and courtesan of Irish origin, famous for having been the mistress of King Ludwig I of Bavaria. Restored by me (please compare with the original file). There are other potential candidates, but I think this one is the best in scope (good size to be use in projects) and of course the restoration put it above ;) -- Jebulon (talk)
Open for review.

I have added the following to the VI Nomination ProcedureːPlease ensure you have the FastCCI gadget enabled. You should use this to identify existing VIs with similar scopes. Note that if an image shows up as FP or QI it may also be a Valued Image. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:10, 12 January 2026 (UTC)
