Ban Ki-moon

 * Articles this image appears in:Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, United Nations Secretariat, as well as Template:Asia-diplomat-stub

 * Support. MER-C 08:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The lighting is terrible in this picture. Maybe something could be done with the reflected light of the wall --Muhammad (talk) 15:07, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Support I can overlook the technical flaws for its massive EV within the project. Although a touch up could help. Either way I still support. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 00:56, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Regretful Oppose If size was the only concern, I would have supported but the lighting is not ideal and as per the discussion on the talk page, IMO this fails to meet the requirement. --Muhammad (talk) 09:49, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * All valid points, but don't forget this is used in over 25 articles and has substantial EV, the #1 reason for valued picture status. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 20:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * But if we lower the bar this much, then I'm afraid any picture could be eligible for VP status. IMO the picture should at least look good in thumbnail. --Muhammad (talk) 04:34, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * See my comment on the talk page. I'm worried that's already the case (though I'm not so worried about quality as much as EV; though that's not to say quality isn't important - but I believe this successfully illustrates the subject)... ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 03:39, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
