 * Support as nominator --Tomer T (talk) 12:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support per lengthy discussion at previous nom. FWIW it's good quality and I like the emotion shown in the subject, something entirely absent in many of our other 'studio' FPs of politicians and the like. --jjron (talk) 13:38, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support per previous. Sorry I didn't see the translation conversation until it was almost over. Chick Bowen 15:00, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't think I support the 3/4 image if that's the one that sticks in the article. It's not as sharp, there's that weird blurry thing (someone else's camera?) in the lower left, and his eyes are turned away from the camera. Chick Bowen 19:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support J Kadavoor J e e 05:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support now that issues are dealt with. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:03, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose and Procedurally Close it It's not on the page for him anymore, doesn't seem stable, past few days multiple images have been put in place to replace it by other editors, plus I don't feel this is a good portrait at all.. I don't like photographs of people with their mouth open while talking... — raeky  t  23:50, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what the 'procedural close' is for - at best you'd want to argue for a 'suspend'. While it may be a fair comment to say this is not stable in the Beppe Grillo article, it remains one of the lead images in the Italian general election, 2013 article, and as I mentioned at the previous nom could also be used in the Five Star Movement article. FWIW this was replaced with an alternative image taken at the same time by the same photographer by a user with just ten WP edits who gave no edit summary to explain the replacement. This one is clearly better quality and I personally think better composition, and I'm going to revert and open a talkpage discussion, and suggest a consensus needs to be reached there before any further replacements take place, at least in the short-term. --jjron (talk) 10:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Image reverted and Talkpage discussion now opened. --jjron (talk) 10:42, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, I kind of do like Beppe Grillo - Trento 2012 03.JPG better. More dynamic. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:19, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Ditto, but I still don't like it as a FP due to him having an open mouth while talking, but it's not as bad as this one... — raeky  t  14:22, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Raeky. I also think the handheld microphone and facial expression reduce EV, because they make me want to think he is a singer. --King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:27, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * With that outfit would be a rather uncool singer. His facial expression IMO clearly shows that he's trying to communicate. -- ELEKHHT 02:33, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I no longer oppose as Raeky's issue has been addressed. Count me as a weak support. --King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 09:08, 12 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Support I don't know what the previous issues were, but this looks good to me. For me action shots are so important that they get a little leeway in terms of precision in composition. --99of9 (talk) 00:10, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Support Jacopo Werther iγ∂ψ=mψ 18:17, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
