Delist: Butt, Baden-Powell, Taft, Bryce2.jpg[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 19 Sep 2013 at 09:16:00 (UTC)

Robert Baden-Powell, William Taft and James Bryce. On the left, Archibald Butt speaks to an unknown male.
Reason
I nominated this for delisting several years ago, when the community was ambivalent. Even at the original nomination, there were very few supports. I just don't get the image- I don't see any EV. Lot of notable people plus a high resolution does not a FP make- this image is not particularly visually interesting (the composition isn't exactly perfect...) and, more importantly, seems to have no particular EV: the meeting between these men, nor their appearance at whatever gathering this was taken at, receives no mention in any of the articles. (I have notified the nominator.)

  • Comment whilst the EV isn't overwhelming, I see some value in at least the Baden-Powell article where it makes sense in terms of scouting coming to America (the date being pretty early). There's not much but the Butt article adds something too - his service to Taft "Butt continued to serve as a social functionary for Taft" - it seems to be a good illustration of at least this statement. Whilst the meeting itself being mentioned would be a much greater EV, there is some. Just wanted to make the case, at least - the previous delist nom isn't particularly helpful.

  • If it was cropped to the centre three, it would probably not be a terrible Baden-Powell and Bryce image. It lacks a clear focus as it is, though. Weak delist. Adam Cuerden (talk) 10:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - Just don't see the EV. It can't be in their physical appearance; all of them have free images available. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist - Per J Milburn. JFitch (talk) 23:20, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delist Poor composition and little apparent EV. I agree with Adam's comment that a crop would improve the visual impact of the picture. Nick-D (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
