Image resolution

@Vaticidalprophet: Personally I feel that the image resolution is too low for the Main Page. I agree with RAJIVVASUDEV's original decision to reject the image. Would you mind elaborating on why you feel the image is suitable? Edge3 (talk) 22:09, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

Sure. The image is in line with many other images that have run suitably in the image slot and received high views, such as Kid Canfield (~30k views), Teraura (~17k views), and John Rolph (politician) (~17k views). The Canfield comparison is most prominent, IMO -- high-quality hooks strongly benefit from image slot placements even when the image itself isn't 'perfect'. From my experience with bio-lead sets in particular, this image is in a fairly typical range for them and can be expected to benefit from the substantial image slot boost independent of 'being on the more low-res end of image hooks'.

The examples you cited are a different situation because they are larger. For instance, the width of Canfield's photo is 522 pixels, Teraura's is 245, and Rolph's is 586. They are all larger than the default of 140. In contrast, Johns' is 114, smaller than the default, so the photo is actually being enlarged.

Canfield's photo looked clearer, despite being grainy. Johns' photo looks blurry even at its original size. Edge3 (talk) 22:45, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

I don't really agree that there's a marked difference between the Canfield and Johns photos. Of course, these things are subjective, but I actually have a noticeably harder time making out much in the Canfield photo. I'm inclined to think that they inhabit the same sphere of acceptability.
