  • Oppose Nice picture, but I'm not sure I see any EV on either of those two pages that you linked. Mattximus (talk) 14:39, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – Per Mattximus. Plus, all colored-lights-on-structures pix seem gimmicky to me. (Pic. is three years old, so not current poltically.) Sca (talk) 15:08, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fine, but the rainbow-colors illumination of the White House isn't mentioned in the text of said article, only in the caption below this picture (which appears to have been added to the article in April 2017). So EV does seem lacking. Sca (talk) 20:14, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I can't see the EV, since there is no mention of this particular event of lighting up the white house in the article, and if added won't really be significant. Mattximus (talk) 19:01, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to agree with Matt; there needs to be more discussion for EV. Is there something about the practice of lighting up buildings in commemoration/recognition of things? That seems to common enough these days to deserve an article.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:03, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Such as the Brandenburg Gate being lit in French colors after the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks. Nice gesture, but ephemeral and lacking significance. Sca (talk) 14:40, 20 July 2018 (UTC) →[reply]
