- Reason
- When originally nominated, it was included in both Samurai and Sword, but today it belongs to neither of those. In Samurai, it was in the Weapons section, but has been replaced by File:Old Japanese military paraphernalia.jpg, another FP (which is more appropriate IMHO). In Sword, it was removed in November 2010, only three months after promotion.
- Articles this image appears in

- Keep Seems rather formal, I've readded it back to Samurai to the section of corresponding time period. Brandmeistertalk 17:00, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- Keep If the argument is that it's not used, then clearly it being in Aikido techniques rules that out, and it seems to hold at least a decent amount of EV for Aikido techniques, the argument isn't its quality? I'm slightly confused. We delist featured pictures if they're not in use anymore at all, not because their original usage at nomination has been replaced. So long as it's providing EV to an article (I wouldn't really say it's providing much in the list at Conservation Techniques for Cultural Properties but it's decent for Aikido techniques and with the readdition (if it sticks) at Samurai means it shouldn't be delisted on non-use grounds. — raekyt 18:14, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't think the EV at Aikido was particularly high. I'm certainly not going to write a POTD for it based on that article. —howcheng {chat} 23:26, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think anyone would loose any sleep if you skipped the POTD for this image, there's such a massive backlog anyway. — raekyt 02:22, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

- Keep. This image seems clearly to have more EV than some of the images that have replaced it, since it shows the armor as used, rather than in a display case in a museum. Since it is in use (even if not used ideally), it does not fail the procedural requirements. So I don't see the problem. As for POTD, by long tradition that is Howcheng's decision, and if he does not feel it merits inclusion, so be it: it should still remain featured. Chick Bowen 01:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
