 * Articles this image appears in:Kamehameha I
 * Creator:unknown artist, painted during the life of Kamehameha (who died in 1819, so this is public domain). Scanned from a book and enhanced by User:Makthorpe

 * Weak Support It's not a very good painting (in my opinion), but the subject matter is important enough to trump that, since I don't think that any better contemporary images exist. Adam Cuerden talk 21:07, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Change to Weak oppose - there appears to be a better painting available, even if e don't have it at high enough resolution for FP. Adam Cuerden talk 01:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose Not a very good painting IMO. not much detail.  Maddie  was here   01:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that the other image is better, but I selected the nominated one based on the scan. Spikebrennan 02:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Oppose - I won't support a picture that should get replaced as soon as we find a good scan of a different image. This may be unfair, but the original image is not good enough for me to support it with the information a better painted portrait is out there; it is good, but not amazing.

 * Oppose, Per Maddie. 8thstar 23:35, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn. Perhaps some day we'll get a better scan of the better portrait. Spikebrennan 16:10, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
