Poor quality image - we have much better quality images in the respective veh cat, Thanks –Davey2010^Talk 19:35, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not feel the image warrants deletion due to there being better quality images in the same vehicle category, if we were to just delete all the "bad" or "worse" quality images in their respective categories we would be left with nothing to look through except the best 1 or 2 images of that specific thing. This is a place to upload images that may be useful to somebody, whilst the image may not be the best in it's category, if you looked around, it would be far from the worst, but I would argue even the worst image quality doesn't deserve deletion for simply that reason. Someone might find that image useful, for any reason, an example could be company promotion. MrWalkr (talk) 20:52, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I pertially-agree with your sentiments we should host images regardless of quality however in this specific case we have 110 images of this vehicle in different colours, angles and qualities and the chances of anyone using this image over say this image, this image or this image are slim to none.

Of course if this were a 2006 or 2016 image we wouldn't be here now but it's 2022 so unless uploading old images then there really isn't any excuse for poor quality images (although I understand not everyone can afford a smartphone or state of the art camera). –Davey2010^Talk 21:06, 17 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

With vans and such like these, there are so many different body styles (single, double, quad cab, box, no box, pick-up, caged pick-up, enclosed, open) and this one is a different body style yet again to any of those linked, so that's another reason I feel it isn't necessary for deletion. However, back to the original point of quality, I don't know about yourself but I have uploaded much worse quality images than this of cars, simply because at the time of taking the photo, I didn't have a good apparatus to take the photo with, as you say, not everyone can afford a fancy phone or camera. Even my, or other peoples terrible quality images could be useful on something such as a registry, for example, some of my terrible images are of things such as Bugattis, which people like to keep track of, some/all of those that I took in GoodWood 2018 are terrible images, but somebody documenting that still might want to use them because there might not be another image of that exact vehicle, exact place, exact angle etc.

I would understand a lot more if Wikimedia had an upload limit, and the images were just taking up unnecessary storage space, but as far as i'm aware there isn't a limit (correct me if i'm wrong of course though)MrWalkr (talk) 17:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We also have 5 images of the crew cab version here and we have a white version here, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this, I still stand by my deletion/rationale and still stand by statement that this particular image will not be used over any of the other images in the Doka category, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 16:55, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no consensus to delete; no requirement to delete. --Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 02:57, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
