• Oppose - this has only been placed in the article today, and is only in a gallery, so fails the "Adds significant encyclopedic value to an article" criterion. I'm also not sure it's the best for encyclopedic value, as only a small part of the carving is in focus. TSP ( talk) 15:08, 10 October 2018 (UTC) reply
• Oppose not FP composition - the eight carvings on the spokes are cut off. MER-C 16:20, 10 October 2018 (UTC) reply

• Oppose – A more visually accessible photo is already in the target article. Sca ( talk) 14:06, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply

• Comment - Yes, but in that photo the center motif of the wheel has been got eroded/erased over time. This photograph specifically focuses on the center motif of another wheel in the same sun temple complex where the stone motif is still visible/reasonably intact- Subhrajyoti07 ( talk) 17:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply

Aha, the temple has "24 elaborately carved stone wheels," so these are two different ones. Nevertheless, I concur with MER-C that the nominated pic. is too close up – a wider field would aid viewer recognition of a wheel form. Sca ( talk) 21:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC) reply
