 * Reason:While the image quality can be made better, I think this image is historically significant because it captured a moment in time during the height of the Vietnamese refugee crisis during the 1970s and 1980s. This image succinctly illustrates the plight of the boat people at the time, showing the cramped condition of the boat and showing men, women, and children at the moment they are rescued after being at sea for days.
 * Articles in which this image appears:boat people

 * Regretful oppose good EV but I agree with Crisco 1492 about the image quality. Pinetalk 09:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak Support -- I think we can ignore the slight problems with image quality due to historical significance. Could do with a better name than Vietnamese Boat People waiting rescue though. Zibart (talk) 21:23, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
