Ana Kasparian and Cenk Uygur hosting The Young Turks[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 19 Jun 2016 at 03:14:42 (UTC)

Original – Cenk Uygur (left) and Ana Kasparian (right) on the set of The Young Turks in 2015.
Reason
A photograph of high resolution that has a free license. It shows the "new" set of the web series The Young Turks. The funding and building of the set were significant moments in the show's production history: $400,000 was crowdfunded for the studio on Indiegogo (link here), the studio's debut was covered in a Tubefilter article (link here), and the show has achieved significant popularity following the "new" studio.

  • 3a states it "is among the best examples of a given subject"; how are they not among the best example when they are the only photographs of The Young Turks that the encyclopedia has to offer? 3b states it "illustrates the subject in a compelling way [and] has appropriate lighting"; Cenk and Ana are using hand gestures to evoke attention in a powerfully irresistible way and the photographs have appropriate lighting. 3c states it "is not always required to be aesthetically pleasing; it might be [...] just highly informative"; the deconstructed American flag background is aesthetically pleasing and the photographs are highly informative of the show, its hosts and its studio. I don't see how it being a "promotional shot, akin to advertising" violates the criterion 3 especially when today's featured picture is taken from the subject's official website.

  • Oppose - Not a bad photograph of the set, but any image for the TV program should clearly show the two hosts. The person on the right is only seen in a harsh profile unfortunately. Oppose on grounds of EV. Mattximus (talk) 15:37, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
