  • Weak oppose - it is certainly encyclopedic, but it is way too blurry in my opinion.—Chris! ct 06:06, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support—I'm rather new to the valued picture process, but was alerted about this picture, and from what I understand from the criteria, it fits them. The image appears in numerous Israeli books and is very low-resolution and low-detail, so the work done on this image digitally was very good. It is encyclopedic and valuable because, as far as I know, this is the only surviving/published portrait of Magen. It is educational because this person has laid the foundation of the Military Police Corps and no article about the corps's history or commanders is ever given without a picture of Magen, and this is as I said the only picture we have of him. —Ynhockey (Talk) 12:59, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, was going to pass on this one but Ynhockey's points moved me to shed a figurative tear. --candlewicke 23:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
