  • Support as nominator --BNK(talk) 06:00, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conditional support. As long as there are no other FPs of sprinkboks.TCO (talk) 19:17, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • (update: support set, not individual pic) The usage in article is as a set. I think it would be counterproductive to have them as separate FPs in terms of searching and be a case of two near-identical FPs on same topic given the sex differences are so small in picture (just a little wiener that you don't even notice at first.)TCO (talk) 20:33, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • As far as I know, there is no FP of adult springboks. Besides, many images are of size less than 1000 pixels in the article.--BNK(talk) 07:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Though I think this would have been a good case for a set with the image of the male which is comparable in every regard. I suppose it could be nominated on its own should this pass. Also, a brief look through the gallery seems to turn up no other springboks, just a whole lot of impalas. Cowtowner (talk) 21:11, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I thought of nominating the male as well, but decided against it and instead nominated the female picture. I am not sure I can nominate the male and female pics as a set now.--BNK(talk) 07:03, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • In my experience, it's probably best to just wait and have another nomination later. If other editors feel differently and develop a consensus towards promoting them both, however, you could but me down as a support. Cowtowner (talk) 12:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support male The female photo seems to have a diagonal bright/dark appearance about it that bothers me ever so slightly. – Kerαunoςcopiagalaxies 06:25, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support set good technical quality, and the symmetry between the male and female is nice. Notice that the male image appears to be the template of the three SVG images that differentiate three kinds of colour schemes, which, in my opinion, serves to increase the value of the male image since we can see how the colouration in the diagrams maps to real-life colours. dllu (t,c) 03:25, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
