 * Reason:This youtube video can explain the subject's significance better than me. This photo was taken a year before the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, his second spaceflight and the first joint American–Soviet mission.

 * Oppose – Photo illustrates nothing about the reason Leonov was known in the Soviet Union. Just another man in suit & tie at a podium. – Sca (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

 * , are we going to require that Édouard Manet or Elizabeth Glendower Evans have something in the photograph that demonstrates their notability? Why are you making up a special requirement for astronauts and cosmonauts? This is a good portrait and intended to identify the subject of the article (hence the EV). He was made Hero of the Soviet Union twice, the second time for his work on Apollo–Soyuz mission. What more than a mission pin and Soviet Union flag do you want? --- Coffee  and crumbs  23:27, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Is it necessary to bring in my noms? I did vote support, you know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 00:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I was looking for places Geoffoi voted. --- Coffee  and crumbs  00:14, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * No worries, just... y'know. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7.1% of all FPs 00:48, 19 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I can't make any new requirement, I can only cast my one vote. This portrait is set up by a pro photog, and dozens of people could've been photographed in quick succession. There's no wow factor. The photo of Miss Evans has a striking and strong pose and facial expression. The painting of a painter is OK, though I would also like to see an FP of Manet at his easel.

 * Support – EV. Coffeeandcrumbs nice restoration of background, there are some bright patches around x,y=(640,1380) to (1000,1780), may be worthwhile to touch up. Bammesk (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Done. --- Coffee  and crumbs  18:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
