 * Support as nominator – --- Coffee  and crumbs  03:41, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - lacks detail, heavily compressed. MER-C 15:16, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I kind of prefer the original crop. This is awfully tight. What about File:Toni Morrison (The Bluest Eye author portrait).jpg, though, which seems a very easy sell? Albeit one that might need a new scan. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 01:52, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I have reverted the color photo to the pre-crop version. The photo was cropped for ITN, a few weeks ago upon her death. --- Coffee  and crumbs  18:17, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I can Support it now. Though I really wish ITN wouldn't crop images for everyone just so they could not have to upload a new file for themselves. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 21:09, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Weak Support -- Poydoo (talk) 12:02, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I think the direct-flash lighting is unnecessarily unflattering. The Bluest Eye portrait Adam C suggests seems like a better choice to me. Or there are several much higher quality but unfree more-recent shots of her visible on a Google image search, if we could somehow acquire the rights to one of those. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:39, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose per David. Geoffroi  22:52, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
