 * Support We had the same thought. Couldn't believe this wasn't already featured. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:23, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 *  Oppose Comment – This famous photo already appears in today's OTD fixture on the Main Page. Running it again as a POTD would be duplication. – Sca (talk) 15:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * That's really a terrible reason to oppose. A tiny reproduction in OTD, or as the lead image of TFA shouldn't mean that in months and months we shouldn't feature a good image in POTD. Further, POTD draws from featured pictures, but FPs are not required to be capable of running on POTD (we've had many that couldn't possibly run there). I do think this image could use some restoration, and there's some weird damage that makes me want to research a bit, but....

 * Just call me the Terror of FPC -- Sca (talk) 15:37, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Consider the issue from the reader's point of view. – Sca (talk) 13:08, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * More seriously, it'll probably be six months to a year until it recurs. If we were talking about it reappearing instantly, there'd be a reader issue. But we're not.. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 19:14, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
 * It's so famous & familiar that it still seems a bit of a bromide. But maybe that's my age talking. -- Sca (talk) 12:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I know what you mean. But that saturation kinc of makes its encyclopedic value go up. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 03:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Support.-- Vulcan  ❯❯❯  Sphere!  05:52, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support. MER-C 11:19, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support – could use a touch-up per Adam, but it's not bad. Bammesk (talk) 00:33, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment — By no means am I an expert on copyright laws, but this and this might be enlightening. I wrote the article Harry S. Truman 1948 presidential campaign from scratch and took it to FA status. If we can 100% establish that this image indeed is in PD, I'll be more than happy to support, but some expert commentary might be required. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 12:30, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
