Original - Tjarda van Starkenborgh Stachouwer and B.C. de Jonge, the last and second-to-last Governor-Generals of the Dutch East Indies before Japanese invasion. Dutch colonization started in 16th century, spearheaded by the Dutch East India Company, with primary aim to control the spice trade. During its last period, the colony covered most of Maritime Southeast Asia. Its territory would later became the nation of Indonesia.

Reason: historically significant as it shows two last Governor-generals of Dutch East Indies, representing the last period and peak of Dutch colonization in Maritime Southeast Asia

I moved this from the bottom to the top of the FPC page (note instructions). This is rather smaller than our stated minimum (see Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria), and the highlights are a little overexposed. Unless its encyclopedic value is really extraordinary, those shortcomings will be tough to overcome; it probably doesn't have a great chance here. Chick Bowen 00:04, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Sorry, but far below our technical requirements, and IMO not a particularly good picture regardless. Given that it is not even used in the two individuals' own articles I can't see that it has such enormous EV to overcome the obvious shortcomings. --jjron (talk) 05:38, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, sorry, I have to agree. It would really have to be something special to pass FPC when it is that small. J Milburn (talk) 18:37, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, I have to agree with the others. It's too small to qualify. – SMasters (talk) 08:35, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
