 * Support as nominator --—Bruce1eetalk 06:56, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Support, applicable for usage on multiple articles, educational, encyclopedic, high value and high quality. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 16:34, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose I'm getting a strong sense that this has had an unnatural level of post processing, in particular that kitschy bleach bypass type effect. It weakens the EV. JJ Harrison (talk) 00:32, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. This kind of photo would always be move valuable with more information, as its limited, not terribly helpful use in articles demonstrates. It would be more valuable in wrinkle if her age were known, more valuable in Demographics of Nepal (and potentially other articles) if her ethnicity were known.

 * Unfortunately the photographer did not publish this information here, probably because it was not known. —Bruce1eetalk 06:30, 3 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Manang is not ethnically heterogeneous. People from manag are called nyeshang or manang-bas; they speak their own language, Manang language, and are adherents of Bon. Several volumes have been published on the region and are likely to contain further information if required. Also note that for the purposes of the 2001 Nepal census, Bonpo were lumped with buddhists; fwiw, by this classification, only 3 of the 515 people in the village administration area were *not* "bouddha" in religious orientation; these three were Hindu, which we can exclude with a high degree of certainty for the woman depicted.
