 * Support as nominator --Muhammad (talk) 05:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Beyond showing what he looks like (which is useful), this doesn't have much EV - it doesn't depict him doing anything related to the reason for his notability. In technical terms, I don't see why this is in black and white. Nick-D (talk) 07:47, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just from the EV side please note most of the FP's for portraits (either successfull or not) don't show the person doing anything other than looking at the camera... The EV in this picture is that it shows what he looks like - more than provides enough EV for the article IMO... At the moment I agree about the black and white but haven't fully decided oppose/support yet... gaz hiley .co.uk  13:59, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Hey Talateweo, thanks for sharing this- it would probably be an easy support for me if it was in colour, but I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the black and white. Do you have a version in colour? J Milburn (talk) 14:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Personally, this does the job (shows what he looks like). The BW doesn't bother me one way or another; sort of like the Mark Harmon portrait we have featured. Cowtowner (talk) 15:35, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. A portrait of a person doesn't have to depict its subject doing something to have EV.  Spikebrennan (talk) 17:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment As this guys only upload to Commons... we're DEFINITELY going to need OTRS... Looks too professional to trust it was created by the user. I'm tagging it. (Also the edits here are primarily on this one article...) — raeky  t  14:43, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * also noting TinEye finds this picture all over the internet, and in color: http://www.tineye.com/search/89508dcbae9622d784250373c82430cb1c4b02c5/?sort=size&order=desc — raeky  t  14:47, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Recommend suspending until licensing is resolved, but based on it being found by TinEye and the uploader stating it was never published in the upload description... theres a good chance this image is a copyvio. — raeky  t  21:30, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Possible. I thought it would be unusual for a user to steal a picture and then nominate it for featured status in their own name. However, yes, OTRS would be good. J Milburn (talk) 08:10, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Muhammad nominated not the uploader of the image? — raeky  t  17:47, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
