- Reason
- High quality, effectively illustrates the comparative sizes and shapes of the objects, and has significant EV for topics related to the outer Solar System. This image has been previously nominated for FP in 2007 but has since been updated over the years following the overhaul of knowledge about the dwarf planets and trans-Neptunian objects since the New Horizons flyby of Pluto in 2015.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Dwarf planet, Pluto, the articles for the eight other objects mentioned in the caption, Trans-Neptunian object, Kuiper belt, Solar System, Definition of planet, Planets beyond Neptune

- No position as original creator of the file except to note that the inclusion (since 2016) of the Moon in the corner of this image sticks out like a sore thumb and is entirely superfluous since the Earth is already included as a reference (and as such I believe it should be removed).

- Support – significant EV, lead image in its primary article, and used well in nine Featured articles. I don't mind having the moon, it doesn't hurt anything and can be useful for comparisons. Bammesk (talk) 20:19, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Not sure how this problem would be sensibly solved, but only having the very tip of Earth showing makes it hard to judge the size of the trans-Neptunian objects. Nick-D (talk) 09:53, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
