Keep - the coin is not an object of this photo, it is just for comparison of kaliumcyanide cristals size only. See de minimis rule. Julo (talk) 15:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
Delete This is not de minimis. The euro coin has been added here intentionally. If it is removed, then the photo's encyclopedic value diminishes. Taivo (talk) 20:17, 23 February 2014 (UTC)- Delete or crop out the coin. Julo's comment "it is just for comparison of kaliumcyanide cristals size" means the coin is an intrinsic part of the image content. The ballpoint pen still provides some size reference if that's the reason we would want to keep this at all. We don't seem to have other pictures of this chemical itself (according to Category:Potassium cyanide), so keeping an image of it might be useful. We do have pictures of many chemicals (but I can't find a unifying cat for them) and most don't have coins or other reference items (sometimes in a petri dish or jar helps perspective, or next to the product bottle). Though I'm not sure how useful it is to have this one--so many generic-looking chemicals "yet another pile of whitish crystals"--but one could argue that having a free picture of a common chemical is within COM:SCOPE (if the image were free) even though it's trivial to get larger or smaller or powdered forms too.

- I've blurred the design on the coin. Rybec (talk) 12:35, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
