Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Peter Levy

Peter Levy

 * Reason:A BLP image that I came across just by chance. The detail is excellent, there are no distractions in the background, it's naturally lit. I think it's a great photo, and I think it meets the criteria.
 * Articles this image appears in:Peter Levy (presenter)
 * Creator:John Byford


 * Support as nominator --Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 23:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support That's quite a face. Durova Charge! 00:32, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support, high quality portrait. J Milburn (talk) 12:12, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support. I think ideally it would have less sky and more tie, but quality nonetheless. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 17:24, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support Very nice quality, good focus.  Spencer T♦C 21:31, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Oppose Poor lighting. Too much sky. Makeemlighter (talk) 04:31, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose: I agree that it's a decent enough photo, but I don't see high encyclopaedic value here. His article is short, and he's a presenter on only a small branch of the BBC's many limbs.  His co-anchor doesn't even have an article.  Apparently he did some minor acting when he was young.  To me it all seems rather dull, and wouldn't be of interest to many outside of northern England.

 * There is no deadline. So the article's crap today. It may become featured itself given time. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with that point, although my application of it in this instance is that the picture can become featured at a later date. I assume that, just as one can de-list a current featured picture, one can also nominate the same picture more than once.   Mae din \talk 17:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I get what you're saying, that the image could become renominated and featured at a later date, but unlike the article that can be edited and improved 1000 times, this image will not change between this nomination and any possible future nomination. It is what it is. Now, tomorrow, and in three years' time. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Neutral Whilst being of good quality IMO, I don't think it carries much EV. If it appeared on the main page, would anybody want tor read more? --Muhammad (talk) 17:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Today's Featured Picture and Featured Pictures are different things completely. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I know that and that's why I didn't oppose, but still I can not support. --Muhammad (talk) 04:11, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
