- Reason
- One of my first FPC nominations, I think this deserves another shot. My original rationale, which I still stand by: "I think this should qualify as a featured picture as it is a tactful representation of the subject matter, Yaoi (also known as boys love), which as noted by the article is "female-oriented fictional media that focus on homoerotic or homoromantic male relationships". The image is of high resolution and good artistic quality. Although this is rightfully not a FP criteria, it should also be noted that the image is featured at Commons. As a side note, it appears that this image would be one of the first anime and manga related FPs. I am aware that the nomination could be quite controversial."

- Comment: Here's my concern. This is here as an example of the genre, but we seemingly have no reliable source tying this work/artist to the genre, and, to boot, this the media used to create the picture seem to be atypical for the genre. We wouldn't be promoting a watercolour by a non-notable artist as an example of cubism, so I'm not clear on whether we should be promoting this. J Milburn (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose per J Milburn and my previous vote on this. While it may be an acceptable substitute for the actual yaoi, which will remain copyrighted in the nearest future, it fails criteria 3 and 5 of WP:WIAFP. Brandmeistertalk 16:01, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
