- Reason
- An image easily on par with the one of the same subject probably about to be featured. Multiple featuring of the same subject is not without precedent, such as the two we have of Ronald Reagan.

- Comment: Multiple featured pictures of the same subject should really show something very different about the same subject. I'm not convinced that there's much to be said in favour of multiple portraits of the same person unless the portraits themselves are notable, they show the subject at different times in their lives or some such. I'm not convinced that this is the case here. At some point, a decision has been made to use the other image rather than this one to lead the article- that says a lot.

- Oppose as the (almost certain to pass) image below is considerably more interesting. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Frankly, some better documentation would help with this. For example, File:Cleyere.jpg - clearly the same image - gives the year of this as 1891 (as does the caption at Voltairine de Cleyre, which, frankly, is quite a bit more believable than 1900: she does look quite a bit more than a mere one year younger in this than in the other image. It also explains the photography a bit, this is a pretty good and typical photo style for the early 1890s. Probably meant either for a book or as a calling card. If we knew how this image was used, that documentation would probably be enough to distinguish it a bit. Adam Cuerden (talk) 02:16, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
