- Oppose Bad angle, showing largely the tram's front. Brandmeistertalk 10:54, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose – Must agree with Brandmeister. A more accessible shot would be somewhat closer with more or less a 3/4 view of tramwaj, IMO. Sca (talk) 15:31, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- As said above, the image illustrates not the tram vehicle alone, but how a street with tramway looks, with the lower half of the image showing the tracks, while the upper part showing the overheads. There is a certain tendency at FPC to demand images to be cropped and exclude context. But tramways are urban infrastructure that is integrated with street design. The EV of this image is that it shows a typical street cross-section with tram infrastructure. It doesn't illustrate an article about the tram vehicle, it illustrates an article about the entire tramway system of a city. Perhaps should have named the nomination differently, but the 'reason' section above makes this point, even though succinctly. --ELEKHHT 22:28, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- One wouldn't have to crop it real tight – one still could include some context of tracks, catenary, streetscape – but a different angle is needed to show the tram itself. (It would be cool, but difficult, to capture some blue electrical flash between the pantograph and catenary.) Sca (talk) 22:53, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

- Oppose I do think this angle would work if it weren't absolutely centered, though. Pteronura brasiliensis 17:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose Good EV but not an FP. Daniel Case (talk) 03:45, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose The same exact picture, but 10 metres to the right on the otherside of the tracks at the bottom right of this picture would make this FP worthy, as it would have a side on view of the tram... gazhiley 10:12, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
