#{{Oppose|strong}} While it may indeed increase the quality, it doesn't look great most of the time and, in general, feels inauthentic. [[User:Metronome|Metronome]] ([[User talk:Metronome|talk]]) 11:56, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

#:I thought I'd add that this should also count for A.I. upscaling too, just in case if that wasn't clear already. [[User:Metronome|Metronome]] ([[User talk:Metronome|talk]]) 20:27, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
#{{Oppose}} I don't agree with this upscaling as it either just blows pixels up and creates images that are too big for the server in the long run, or if it were interpolating, would make a rendition that trys to emulate the image into a higher scale. It is somewhat a problem in the cases of poor quality logo captures or sources, and I don't think this should be allowed. E.J. 12.25.2022 9:53 Pm.
#{{Oppose|Strong}}. Upscaling an image, to me, is a cheap way of having a "higher quality" version of an image. Say I wanted to upload a 4K version of the Paramount logo, I'd much rather capture it from a 4K Blu-ray than upscale a DVD of it.

#{{Oppose}} I concur that upscaling images is a bad idea, but some sources (like streaming) may have been upscaled to begin with. Upscaling on the originating end should not fall under this policy.
