Weak Oppose The image is undoubtedly heart rendering, but can't really see a strong EV in the current article. No qualms about the image. Hariya1234 (talk) 07:58, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Don't really understand the question on EV; looks to be quite strong to me. Image quality seems fine despite slightly ambitious downsampling. Was concerned on the licensing (many of these agencies copyright their images) but source checked out. My only quibble is that, for better framing, the child should be a little more to left of frame. --jjron (talk) 13:45, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom and JJ. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 07:32, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support This adds enough EV to the article. Pine^talk 07:56, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support: high technical quality, fair enough EV. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:01, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Good artistically and technically. There is value- this could be written, but it's much more striking from a picture, and seeing as we have an umambigously free picture, it should certainly be used. This is something that will make people stop and stare. J Milburn (talk) 10:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's called "slum voyeurism". We get to pop in and get a peek at the wretched poor from the comfort of our cushy lives. Lucky for us such photos (and movies) don't also transmit some of the local smells. JBarta (talk) 21:41, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Aaadddaaammm (though I'm sure he is referring to jjron). JJ Harrison (talk) 09:24, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support per J Milburn - well stated. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 14:10, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: This image isn't in the article mentioned above. JBarta (talk) 01:01, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It has been there for three weeks and only yesterday removed without explanation. I placed it back again. Also opened a discussion on the article's talk page regarding the EV of the image in the article, and invited input from the contributors. --Elekhh (talk) 03:26, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I recommend that this nomination is placed on hold while that discussion is ongoing. J Milburn (talk) 10:56, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think is any need for that at this stage unless some real controversy emerges. There are six more days for debate here. --Elekhh (talk) 11:09, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to have stabilised. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:18, 19 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Unless the image cannot stay on the article. High EV for me. SMasters (talk) 08:34, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Support Good ev, lots of wow. Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:24, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
