  • Comment -- If Bishōnen is a Japanese word expressing an old asiatic concept of human beauty, I wonder how a kistchy manga-type image showing a non-asiatic boy surrounded by orange trees can illustrate the idea. In other words, what are we really assessing here: the artistic qualities of the illustration (we should not imo) or its added value in illustrating an asthetical concept? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 17:06, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's common character archetype in manga and anime, which is not directly related with the original wording in japanese language. Did you read the article? I doubt it. --Niabot (talk) 17:19, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm wondering who really needs to learn here: to learn how to respect the opinion of others however silly you consider it to be. That is a fundamental quality to participate in a civilized forum like this. If you consider yourself not able to do it, please stay out. Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:03, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        • But it's also uncivilized to put an opinion on the table without an argument. It gets even worse if you leave comments that are factually wrong. It would be comparable to an illustration about quantum physics. You telling me that it is wrong, even so it would fit all given sources. --Niabot (talk) 19:26, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Cowturner. J Milburn (talk) 21:59, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. This just isn't impressive or spectacular or iconic or anything like that. DS (talk) 22:14, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Though I think this is quite well-done, and a good example of the subject, the bulging of the hand muscles around the orange are odd, and other slight issues. James F. (talk) 22:20, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
