Original – Margaret Hamilton next to (presumably a printout of) the navigation software she and her team produced for the 1969 Apollo Project.
Reason
Arguably the best-known photograph of her, as well as a fairly iconic photo in its own right.

  • question I like this image, but voters here seem to only like images that are the main one in the article. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:48, 6 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Charlesjsharp: Admittedly, I'm coming back after a six-month absence, but historically, being further down hasn't been a problem as long as the image is significant to or in some way uniquely illustrates the subject. Take Aida (opera), which has - if I'm counting right - five separate featured pictures, each illustrating a different aspect. Adam Cuerden (talk) 01:24, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've never expressed such a view. Mind, the headshot is great in this case, but unless we get a bigger version it's not FP-able.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 07:19, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Josh was talking about the use of the image in a gallery; that's quite a bit different than having running text illustrated by an image. Use in galleries tends not to be considered enough EV for FP.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support This is a great photo with strong EV: as well as showing Hamiliton's achievement in an interesting way, it also depicts how young she was for this role. Nick-D (talk) 11:34, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • How old were programmers in this era? I would be surprised if 33 wasn't a common age.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not sure, but to be a team leader for an important part of a flagship national project in a major (and rather hierarchical) agency it seems pretty young, especially for a woman in the 1960s. Nick-D (talk) 23:30, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support as above. Josh Milburn (talk) 00:33, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
