• Oppose – Article states, "Only twenty-three I-1430 series engines were delivered," and it never powered an airplane. Little or no EV. – Sca (talk) 12:16, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

• Support - Engine has an article; article passes GNG; image shows engine; image has EV.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
• Support – per Chris. I can see clear EV here. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 15:51, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

  Such as? -- Sca (talk) 12:46, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  The FP criteria defines EV as "Adds significant encyclopedic value to an article" Its the lead and only image in the Continental XI-1430 article. It adds to that article by showing what the whole engine looks like. And thats a significant add since there is a lot of variation in how engines look.©Geni (talk) 16:06, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

  Is it of potential interest to a significant portion of Enwiki readers? -- Sca (talk) 13:08, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

  That iss not in the Featured picture criteria. EV is about how much it improves one or more Wikipedia articles. How widely read those articles are is not a factor. It also counts against cases where the photo is very pretty but doesn't add much to any Wikipedia articles. Think something a photo of a ship but most of it hidden because it it rounding a very pretty headland.©Geni (talk) 05:42, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

  It's about serving the readers. -- Sca (talk) 12:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
