* '''Oppose''' Like raeky said, it is seriously out of focus. Bad crop too (though that is fixable, but there’s no point). [[User:Greg L|Greg L]] ([[User talk:Greg L|talk]]) 04:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC) |

*'''Oppose'''. A featured picture of Grandin would be a good thing; however, this one is not up to scatch technically by a long shot due to focus issues. Suggest '''speedy close'''. [[User:J Milburn|J Milburn]] ([[User talk:J Milburn|talk]]) 10:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC) |

- Reason
- Encyclopedic Value. Temple Grandin was born an autistic person who couldn't "speak before the age of 4," yet went on to be awarded a "Ph.D. in animal science." In addition to her economic importance—developing a standard for humanly processing cattle—she also is a fire cracker with quips like this from her TED talk.
- Chris Anderson: You once wrote, [and] I like this quote, "If by some magic, autism had been eradicated from the face of the Earth, then men would still be socializing in front of a wood fire at the entrance to a cave." [Why did you write that?]
- Temple Grandin Response: "Because who do you think made the first stone spears? The Asperger guy. And if you were to get rid of all the autism genetics there would be no more Silicon Valley, and the energy crisis would not be solved."
- Temple Grandin is worth FP because she's of EV.
- Articles in which this image appears
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Grandin
- Creator
- Steve Jurvetson
- Support as nominator --Gut Monk (talk) 02:02, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

- Oppose Badly out of focus. — raeky (talk | edits) 02:23, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
