Support Notable historical image with its own article. This was a delicate restoration. It was heavily damaged. Apparently the print was scratched with a sharp tool. All copies on the Net have the same defect. -- Yann (talk) 16:01, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Historical or not, this is an atrocious image. Wolverine X-eye 18:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)- Support I think it's lovely Cmao20 (talk) 01:46, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support Happy end :-) I checked the restoration work and find it well handled, given the difficulty.
- Photographically the focus is wrong (and the crop tight at the left), it's a shame, but this image has its own story (and yes, also own article on en-wiki). It has become an iconic photograph. We should take this into account.
- Finally, a reminder about the voting process. COM:FPC: The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations... -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:37, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
