 * Support as nominator – SchroCat (talk) 14:29, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - does anyone realize that there are 70 FP nominations currently? And almost all are great. What a FP list this going to be, . Hafspajen (talk) 17:02, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Love this painting. Quality is exceptional. Étienne Dolet (talk) 23:25, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak support Very minimal EV, the article is only a stub, but I suppose it may grow in the future. Mattximus (talk) 01:05, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Support - FPC looks at the image and the image's use, not the article(s) themselves. The image is better than fine. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:43, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, I see that if a scan of a painting is relegated to a large gallery at the bottom of a page, it's considered having low EV. What you are saying, is that the nominator can just create a stub with 1 sentence, post the image, and suddenly the EV is there? If so, I'll go with it, I'm just wondering for clarification purposes.

 * Just a minor correction: the image isn't in a gallery at the bottom, it's placed to the right at the top of the "Career" section. In relation to the article, it has to pass the WP:GNG threshold to have an article, which is part of the measure. - SchroCat (talk) 15:37, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
 * If you think someone is trying to game the system by doing so, then please AFD. That's why we have such processes. If a painting supports its own article (i.e. an article that would survive AFD), then it has EV. Period. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment -- The painting has it's own article The Little Street AND it is a famous painting too. That should be an EV itself. The Little Street is a well known painting. Can't really understand this discussion above. Hafspajen (talk) 20:18, 21 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment - expanded the article a little so those who are unfamiliar about the importance of this artist's work can read about it. Though, mind - it was all in the refs already... It is the only known painting made by Johannes Vermeer outdoors and the only one that is correctly attributed to Vermeer .Hafspajen (talk) 14:26, 22 February 2015 (UTC).
