  • Support as nominator – Bammesk (talk) 22:19, 22 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose - Too messy to clearly comprehend, with lots of important dates missing, e.g. periods, epochs, ages - even eras. Too flashy! Upside-down text makes it difficult to read. I would much prefer a linear, scrollable "panorama", of course also logarithmic... (This image was added to the article on 2024-04-16, before that, there was a linear version.) --Janke | Talk 10:56, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose – Visual information not readily intelligible to general readers/viewers. – Sca (talk) 13:19, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Oppose – Unfortunately, the graphics are not easily readable. –Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 15:22, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Reluctant oppose — I like creative data visualizations, but this one gives up too much to look the way it does. The sideways and upside-down text would be a dealbreaker for me even if all the other problems mentioned above were fixed. A chart you can't read fails its only purpose.

  • Ok, I withdraw this nomination. Bammesk (talk) 00:44, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
