 *  Weak support Framing is a little tight, and it looks soft to me. The historicity of this image makes me feel like supporting though. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:38, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Striking the "weak". Amanda's convinced me. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:41, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Very weak support for reasons mentioned by Crisco. The photo is better than decent, but not outstanding in any way that I see. Drmies (talk) 04:18, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support-- I often read the comment here that pictures are not sufficiently "encyclopedic" for one reason or another. This is a very useful purely "encyclopedic" photograph of its subject. My only hesitation was that the thatch appears blurry. I have just looked at other pictures of this thatch and I'm sufficiently convinced that it has been created using a type of straw that has fluffy heads, so that the entire surface of the roof has a homogenous appearance that one does not usually see unless the thatch is quite decayed. This contrasts where the straw is cropped at the ends. Amandajm (talk) 03:32, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support I agree with Amanda. Adam Cuerden (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support high EV, very nice picture; this tomb was burnt down, so new photos might not even be possible -- Cy be r XR ef ☎ 11:16, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
