 * Reason:A fine image of a fairly interesting suffragette, albeit one who really needs an article expansion. It's probably worth pointing out that fade-out at the bottom was a very 1910s-1920s style thing.
 * Articles in which this image appears:Nell Mercer
 * FP category for this image:Featured pictures/People/Political

 * Support as nominator – Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 07:13, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Nice portrait. --Yann (talk) 10:54, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 *  Weak Support - doesn't technically meet the resolution criteria, but I'll look the other way. MER-C 11:21, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * You are right, though I don't think we're missing any actual detail. The film grain likely limits it enough that this is around the maximum actual resolution. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 11:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Good point. MER-C 14:04, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak support – Resolution aside (it's a century-old photo), support for a face with character – but 'weak' due to blurring of bottom of frame, and because her target article is a stub. Good EV, tho. – Sca (talk) 14:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support Geoffroi  00:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak support – weak article per Sca. Bammesk (talk) 01:27, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support. Resolution can be improved with a higher-quality scan of the original, I suppose, but this is sufficient.  Per nominator, the blurring at the bottom is a feature, I suppose — as well as illustrating the subject of the portrait, this image illustrates a now-largely-forgotten aspect of artistic photography of the period.

 * Comment: I really like the picture, but I do wonder about the EV of a picture of her aged 16-7. Josh Milburn (talk) 12:52, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Double checking the LoC, I see that 1910 should have been 1910s. Oops. That's kind of a big difference. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 13:58, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak support. That does make a difference! Josh Milburn (talk) 14:11, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Support.-- Vulp here  18:44, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
