Comment: Although it is a wonderful photograph of a topic which clearly does have some note, I worry that, as used currently, it is lacking in encyclopedic value. It's just another tomb picture in the basilica article (though the most eyecatching picture in the list) and while the tomb is mentioned in the article on Henry himself, the article is somewhat crowded with illustrations and the tomb picture gets the impression of being stuck on the bottom. I want to support this, I really do, I just don't think I can with good conscience right now. J Milburn (talk) 11:09, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for your helpful comment. What do you think should be done to fix this? Tomer T (talk) 13:10, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, thanks to your comment, I've made some styling editing in the article Henry II of France, and I think that now the pictures in the article are displayed in a more elaborating way to the readers (and I also believe the discussed picture doesn't seem "stuck" anymore). --Tomer T (talk) 14:07, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - I am not generally a fan of galleries in articles, but it does now look much cleaner- no doubt it will eventually be expanded, and some of those pictures can find their way back into the main article. In any case, I am happy to support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by J Milburn (talk • contribs) 15:25, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. While the composition is artistically excellent, showing the tombs head-on would have more EV. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:27, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- How do you mean head on? I think the "profile view," for want of a better term, is probably the most reasonable angle we can expect. From the feet or behind the heads wouldn't show much of anything and from above likely isn't possible in the setting. Cowtowner (talk) 22:22, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Looking at this image again, it's actually not bad. Changing to weak support. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:19, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
