Oppose The EV is good, but this badly needs some kind of restoration - when you zoom in on the full image it's covered in scratches and odd markings. Nick-D (talk) 09:29, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Retouched version - mainly using clone tool on GIMP, by Xijky.

Comment - I've restored it using GIMP. --Xijky (talk) 16:51, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That helps, but there are still scratches and markings all over the photo. Nick-D (talk) 06:33, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak oppose~~ this photo is blurry when viewed at full size, and it's difficult to tell the subject's height from this photo. Also, it would be better to have a color photo if one could be found. Pine^talk 08:18, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Why would it better to have a color photo? Most likely, a color photo would show him as a much older man. Chick Bowen 21:04, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - ~~Support~~ I'm struggling with this one. I'd prefer a color photo that shows the subject's height for its greater encyclopedic value. However in other respects this is a very reasonable portrait. Pine^talk 23:36, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Neutral since I can't make up my mind. Pine^talk 05:06, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The background is to much unclear, even for historic photo. I also don't see what's so special in this photo. Broccolo (talk) 02:27, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
