  • Support as nominator --Mahan (talk) 18:16, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Surely better angles exist for this building, the angle shot over other buildings makes it look very cluttered and obscures the majority of the building. — raekyt 20:33, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question As per similar recent noms, is the scaffolding a permanant fixture? If not then we should really wait until a picture is available without the scaffolding to nominate that... gazhiley 08:56, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • From my recent visit to Iran, most of the monuments had some scaffolding. I was told that repairs always go on and one thing or the other will be under repairs. --Muhammad(talk) 14:41, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • Thanks Muhammad... I think I am going to have to Oppose though as the way I read your response is that although there is always something being repaired, this building isn't always being repaired, ergo I suggest a new picture attempt once this scaffolding is gone... Not knowing the building I can't really comment on — raeky's opinion about the view other than to agree that you can't really see much of this building in this nom... gazhiley 10:28, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • I think I misguided you. I meant the complex/building will always have such distractions as something or the other will always be under repair--Muhammad(talk) 15:36, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Raeky and also re the scaffolding - its worth waiting for the scaffolding to be removed and trying for a shot then. Plutonium27 (talk) 23:48, 16 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • SupportThis is a featured picture on Wikimedia Commons.Alborzagros (talk) 08:39, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose because in the current version of the article this image isn't providing an abundance of EV. I could support it if the picture was better used in this or some other article. --Pine✉ 17:03, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • SupportThe quality is amazing, and featured picture on Wikimedia Commons--:)Mahdi talk 17:57, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose The focal point of the image isn't clear, doesn't shout FP to me. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 18:57, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
