Reason: This image, while striking, is used only in Barack Obama economic policy, where its EV is not clear. Yes, a portrait has clear EV in the article on the subject, but it was decided a while ago by the editors of the article that this image did not have a place there, and the official portrait now leads. This was taken during a speech that is related to the subject matter of the article in which it is used, but that does not mean that the image automatically has EV- all this seems to be adding to the article is decoration, and decoration is not enough to justify a picture being featured.

Keep has EV in the current use.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:43, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Howso? What's it adding to the article? J Milburn (talk) 22:54, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It contemporaneously depicts the proponent of the policy.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:58, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Look at it like this- if the coverage of Obama's economic policy was in main biography, this image would be a decorative image adding little there, as it would clearly be redundant to the lead image. In this case, it isn't- this is a decorative image adding little which is used in a different article. J Milburn (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this is a fantastic portrait, high quality like few others, interesting lighting and very appealing color scheme. It would be sad to see this go. --Dschwen 22:58, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's a great portrait, yes, but that doesn't mean it automatically has EV. Discussion on the Barack Obama talk page has decided this is not the best image to show him- what does it add to the article on his economic policy? J Milburn (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Doesn't demonstrate a policy, as it's a portrait... If it's not a policy it can't be used in a policy article... But maybe I'm thinking a little too laterally... gazhiley.co.uk 23:03, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Dschwen. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 02:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
There's got to be a better picture of Obama out there, the glare is bad and he looks angry in this one. --I'ḏ ♥One 04:46, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delist a bad portrait... simply bad. Probably only promoted because of who he is without regard to image quality. — raeky t 01:58, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I think this lighting is very eye-catching and rare. Dramatic. I see no need to undo what was done. Greg L (talk) 21:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
