Lewis Hine photography

 * Reason:Lewis Hine was a photographer who worked during the early twentieth century to effect social change by documenting conditions, particularly among factories and child laborers. It's unclear whether this was a really tough baseball team, or a street gang that played some baseball: the long object at left is a firearm, not a bat.  Yet each boy's face shows a different personality.  An unusually good group portrait.

 * Support. Mmm. Maybe they only had one bat.  Syn  ergy 02:05, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Relevance to the second article is tangential, and Lewis Hine is filling up with FPs. This might be a good point to diversify in other directions. Also, the boys with the gun are motion-blurred. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 02:18, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Happy to find that relevant photographers are filling up with featured pictures :) GerardM (talk) 11:48, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:undue weight: "Undue weight applies to more than just viewpoints." and: "This applies not only to article text, but to images, wikilinks, external links, categories, and all other material as well."

 * Having two photographs at the biography of a famous photographer isn't undue weight. Durova Charge! 15:58, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that you're nominating the image for FP. Please correct me if that's wrong. Papa Lima Whiskey  (talk) 21:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * However, there's little on children's history - which one could well argue is underrepresented in images. If these weren't nominated on their strength in their other respective articles, then I think you'd be right. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I'm on the fence with this one as quality is just so so, and EV not extremely high, but I think the group portrait is a rare find... interesting to see the range of different faces. Fletcher (talk) 00:07, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. Illustrates well a period and social phenomena. Mostlyharmless (talk) 10:43, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I agree with Mostlyharmless. Although I'd like to see this used in more articles, I don't think it should miss out on FP.   Mae din \talk 19:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Not sure of the EV on this one. From what I've read, it doesn't seem like this is particularly representative of Hine's work. Makeemlighter (talk) 00:20, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
