 * Way under our usual size requirements, bearing in mind it isn't a historical photograph. Also I have some concerns that, particularly for FPs, there might be some non-copyright protection here about privacy. Not my area of expertise. Having said that, the size issue is really significant. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 20:16, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose: too small, poorly lit, her feet are cut off which is a big problem because her shoes are probably part of her costume. If the intent here is shock value, note that shocking is quite compatible with artistic quality; see the FP Indecency. Chick Bowen 23:42, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Chick Bowen Mediran  talk to me! 03:01, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Muhammad Mahdi Karim has hidden the image, saying that "FPC should be SFW [safe for work]". Is that the case? I have to say I see no reason why it should be different to other parts of the encyclopedia. Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 17:52, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter. This is not the image about which to have that debate. This nomination should be speedily closed anyway. Chick Bowen 23:29, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, he's correct. Refer to WP:UNCENSORED. If you choose to view a potentially unsafe article that's your business and he's not arguing the article should be censored or the image deleted, or that is unfeatureable due to its nature. It's just that it shouldn't be splashed around common areas of the encyclopaedia like this where people are not expecting to view potentially offensive material, much as it wouldn't be placed on the mainpage. Thus it is a valid nomination, but it is appropriate to hide it to allow users the option of whether to view it or not depending on their circumstances and sensibilities. --jjron (talk) 14:55, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

[Speedy close: this nomination has no chance of promotion, due to being far under size requirements.] -- Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:05, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
