- Oppose Some random kid
in some random placewith some random injury. Also jpg artefacts. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 20:36, 5 November 2010 (UTC)- That's an unnecessarily inflammatory and, frankly, stupid thing to say. I urge you to retract it. Chick Bowen 04:35, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Please discuss the image, you're free to add your vote with your reasons. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 09:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- The image is about a somewhat recent event that had a lot of casualties and got a lot of media coverage. You could've made a case about how you feel the image does or doesn't have value to the article, instead you just sounded flippant and insensitive. --I'ḏ♥One 00:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

- Comment The sorts of injuries that this patient has presented with are fairly typical of an earthquake - you'd see a fair amount of bruises, abrasions and blunt trauma. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 11:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
- Then doesn't that make the case that it is a good depiction of the typical injuries suffered by those in a notable event, and thus, it is a nice representation of the pain and suffering caused by the notable event. I am very surprised that people are rejecting it on EV grounds. Remember (talk) 15:29, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think that would be a valid argument, yes. I may still vote on this later if I find I have strong feelings about this one way or the other. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose, I do kind of agree with what Aaadddaaammm is saying. It's a nice press-type shot, but it's not uber encyclopedic. J Milburn (talk) 12:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Oppose – Not exactly the best image. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 21:33, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
