- Support Although it could be argued that this would be a relatively simple image to recreate, simple can also mean elegant. My only (very minor!) quibble is that the ghostly transparency of the cat allows a Necker cube effect. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 14:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: I would support with a better caption. There should be some (albeit minor) explanation of what is going on within the image. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 20:39, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
- I changed the caption to the one from the Schrödinger's cat article, excluding the last sentence since it doesn't really apply to the image. This is definitely a long caption but it does a pretty good job imo of describing what we're seeing in the image. If anyone has any better ideas though feel free to change it.

- Oppose. I'm honestly not convinced that this is a professional-quality diagram or an example of Wikipedia's best work. Look at the little cartoon beakers, for instance. They look like clip-art. J Milburn (talk) 15:14, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. Though this is a thoroughly worthwhile illustration, the execution is not top quality IMO. 86.177.105.62 (talk) 20:22, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose. It is not amongst Wikipedia's finest work. From a design standpoint, there are numerous inconsistencies in the style used to draw the various entities. The quasi-3D look and the superimposition of the two outcomes make the image more complicated and difficult to understand than is necessary. I think that File:Schroedingers cat film.svg is a bit better executed. dllu (t,c) 21:08, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
- Well, maybe I am stating the obvious here, but the superimposition is really the entire point of the illustration. 86.151.118.91 (talk) 04:00, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose Nice idea, but I can't get past the clip art. I can envision a much better diagram for this concept. Mattximus (talk) 04:42, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
