- Reason
- High EV and high quality illustration. Failed first nomination due to what appears to be a lack of a quorum. It appears that the accuracy of the diagram has been verified.
- Articles this image appears in
- Antigenic shift, Swine influenza, Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, 2009 flu pandemic in Canada
- Creator
- National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

- Comment: Could this not be in svg format? I'm not sure I'd be happy to support images of this sort unless they were. J Milburn (talk) 17:29, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

- Ask the CDC, they are the ones that control how they publish their work. I think it is plenty big enough, and looks good enough as a thumb. But that's me. Nezzadar ☎ 17:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
- I'm also not loving the big blocky lines around the person and the duck. J Milburn (talk) 23:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

- Oops. I had that link on my clipboard but forgot to put it in. (Debating where and got distracted...) Thanks. Nezzadar ☎ 03:03, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- Weak Oppose It is good for a FP but that means that is big and you have to open that big picture to access the information because, at least I, can not read much of the text in the thumbnail. Now, when you read it, you notice that what is said is not more than what is said in the first 3 lines of the article (at least to two types of viruses in the same host combine and you get a new one with the antigens of the original ones). The picture makes the article being an-article-with-a-colorful-picture (that is good, I like books with pictures) but only that because the information given has accessibility problems and is redundant (with the article). So, after having to open the picture and going around the diagram (a graph with 5 vertexes and seven edges. It takes a while) you realize that they are telling you the same you read in the first few lines of the article. Franklin.vp 21:06, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- I see your point but just looking at the cells with the arrows has high EV without the text. It is taking an abstract concept (genetic recombination) and putting it into picture form so that anyone could understand it. Considering how most Wikipedians are not geneticists or microbiologists, this is hugely useful in explaining cross-species transmission. Nezzadar ☎ 05:43, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Support As last time. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Support, as previous nominator. Illustrates a concept as clearly and attractively as I could imagine. Mostlyharmless (talk) 23:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
- Support Highly educational illustration. I'm fine with the png file format unless somebody makes an effort for svg things.--Caspian blue 03:17, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
