Support as nominator – Yann (talk) 17:07, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - bases on the very poor framing (person cut off on the left), and questionable EV. Mattximus (talk) 19:44, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not a time and place where it would be possible to pose. Obviously time is very restricted in such a place, and people are moving, so I don't understand your objection. Regards, Yann (talk) 23:42, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Is this "the best Wikipedia has to offer"? Hardly. --Janke | Talk 08:29, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Janke, it is certainly one of the best images of workers in a dangerous radioactive place. Yann (talk) 14:16, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Nothing special at all. Also, aren't they visiting experts, not workers? Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:43, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Jumbled composition. Marginal EV. Sca (talk) 15:00, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - I do understand the nominator's sentiments but unfortunately I'm forced to agree with the "marginal EV" crowd. There's nothing about this image that provides any special insight into the disaster. The masks and suits look scary, but ultimately about on par with what you'd expect the workers there to be wearing. In fact, the orderly and calm poses actually convey a sense of complacency, as if the conditions are nothing to be alarmed about. Sorry, – Juliancolton | ^Talk 21:29, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Juliancolton: This comment makes me wonder if you understand what you are talking about? I expect these people to be trained professionals, not clowns running mad around. So being calm and attentive is certainly what is expected from them... Yann (talk) 11:50, 22 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per other – Jobas (talk) 21:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
