Original – Two leaves of an early Quranic manuscript in the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts of the University of Birmingham's Cadbury Research Library were discovered in 2015 as being dated between 568 and 645, making it one of the oldest Quran manuscripts to have survived.

Reason: This unique, important document is possibly the oldest manuscript of Quran discovered ever and is said to prove that the current versions are not changed.

Oppose - Below the minimum resolution. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Outstanding EV. The 1% deficit in vertical resolution not important here as the script is clearly legible and every mark can be seen and identified. There are already higher resolution images available on the internet, though not as good as this image. No doubt a suitable higher resolution image will eventually be uploaded to overwrite this one.

Neutral Waiting for a photo with higher resolution, even though this one looks great already. --Tremonist (talk) 12:51, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support . Beauty should not rule the necessity. Reasoning to have an standard is itself a response to technical issues of minor nature. Nannadeem (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - It's not bad, but it's below the minimum pixel threshold by quite a bit. I'm sure a better scan will be available in the future. Mattximus (talk) 23:58, 12 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
