Reason: I found this image as the best representative of the Argentine culture, within the Latin American one. The pose, place, clothes and facial expressions demonstrates all the dramatic mood involved and required for this type of demonstration. Pure art

Oppose – As far as I can discover, subjects not ID'd. EV? – Sca (talk) 15:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huge educational value; as I said, this is the image of the most famous dance in Argentina. ArionStar (talk) 00:14, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - We are looking for EV, e.g. encyclopedic value, a less busy background would be better for that. --Janke | Talk 08:35, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Janke: the background is Avenida Corrientes, known as "the Street that Never Sleeps", in the heart of Buenos Aires and a meeting point to view the iconic obelisk, a symbol of the city/country. It is part of the EV. ArionStar (talk) 12:37, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO. In this case I must agree with Arion, the background is truly a representative icon of Buenos Aires, it is not distracting but adds value to the "Argentine" sense of tango. Wilfredor (talk) 22:02, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Given it's a night shot from South America, and very action based, I'm willing to overlook some minor flaws. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.9% of all FPs.} 13:57, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support because the background behind the female dancer could be less distracting, but overall fine to me. UnpetitproleX (talk) 17:47, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thank you for bringing this nomination here, great encyclopedic value, artistic iconic street of Argentina (Corrientes Avenue), iconic obelisco and tango, Argentine culture summarized in a single image. It's good to see the wind blowing in the right direction. Wilfredor (talk) 22:03, 6 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This seems to be a fairly gimmicky type of photo, and the EV is modest as a result. It would be better suited to a tourist publication than an enyclopedia. The male dancer's head also seems at an odd angle. Nick-D (talk) 11:10, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Nick-D. Moreover, the copyright holder might be misspelled, here. The links to Facebook, Instagram and Youtube accounts in the description don't seem very encyclopedic to me. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:58, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The copyright holder's nickname was renamed per apparent user request. ArionStar (talk) 06:25, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not about this. ManticorA is not ManticorE. -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:29, 14 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
