 * Support as nominator --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 21:40, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 *  Speedy close . Doesn't meet size requirements and EV for Helmand Province seems low. O.J. (talk) 22:16, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * May I have 48h to upload a larger size? --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 22:55, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * BTW, this one hasn't been in the article for the required one week. Maybe we should suspend this nomination until the higher resolution version is uploaded and a week has passed. O.J. (talk) 23:19, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please could you. I've uploaded the original image. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 09:37, 29 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment That doesn't appear to be a sufficient source for the image, the website listed has a whole list of what appears to be copyrighted images from news sources, not government sources, but this picture isn't listed. If it's a military photograph it should be available on the appropriate .mil website with credits? Where exactly did you download this image? — raeky  t  00:44, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Secondly when viewing the original it appears to be just a blown up web graphic, not the original at all. Clearly someone took the small image and expanded it in a graphic program to be larger pixel wise. So back to Speedy Close and without better sources it will be nominated for deletion in short order. — raeky  t  00:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * And we'll go ahead and throw in a Strong Oppose even though it doesn't meet size requirements since it's just a blown up small image and it does not have any EV for Helmand Province, Helmand Province isn't defined by recent United States military actions in the area, so a photograph of solders in a dusty area is has ZERO encyclopedic value for the article. — raeky  t  00:51, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree fully with Raeky's analysis. J Milburn (talk) 09:55, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment: Am I silly or dumb and not sying that image on the source page? As I already mentioned at Files for upload/April 2012 I simply can't find it and thus this would be a copyvio?! mabdul 20:19, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Thats why I said if he can't provide a proper source for it it will be nominated for deletion. — raeky  t  22:17, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Went ahead and put it up for nomination. — raeky  t  22:24, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
