Review
(criteria)
  •  Support Fulfills all requirements IMO. Image description is quite detailed and informative, but only given in German (should be translated if possible). -- JovanCormac 15:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose VI rules for churches scopes are really harsh:"Not any church is worth a Valued Image scope. Cathedral scopes are OK, but for other churches there should be a good reason, like being a pilgrimage place (is it?), being really famous (it doesn't seem to be the case, a quick search on :de:w with trier+ambrosius doesn't give anything in plain text about this church), being architecturally exceptional (a quick search with Thoma+architekt in :de:w doesnt't return any relevant link to the "F. Thoma" quoted in the image description)." So fails criterion 2 IMO, not famous enough to be a "suitably generic scope". --Myrabella (talk) 09:00, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The point to nominate is, it's a former riding hall, wich would be extremly rare --Berthold Werner (talk) 11:03, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support If the interior is worth its own scope, why not the exterior? Yann (talk) 11:01, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Because what makes this church "being architecturally exceptional", as VI rules say, is to have been built from a former riding arena. This special characteristic is evident in the inside view (which thus deserves a scope), but absolutely not in the outside one, IMO. From outside, this neigbourhood church seems rather ordinary (and VI rules insist: "Not any church is worth a Valued Image scope. Cathedral scopes are OK", and so on. Personally, I find this rule too severe, but that's another debate.) --Myrabella (talk) 11:55, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
