Reason: Quite a nice image; probably the best we have of them together. Admittedly, African-Americans with dark hair in a darkish background isn't ideal for black and white photography, but I think it does very well within the constraints

Comment Tricky to support anything to do with Ike. Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:30, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I get that, but it's part of her history. Can't tell the story of Tina Turner without him. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 21:52, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, but our term FP looks like an endorsement. I'm not going to oppose. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:47, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Must admit to misgivings about featuring Ike Turner, given his personal foibles. -- Sca (talk) 14:20, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Sca and Charlesjsharp: I mean, we have FPs of Confederate generals, Nazi propoganda, and Queen Elizabeth II, who apparently is even more controversial, so I'm not sure I can quite see it as an endorsement, so long as we caption it appropriately, noting his bad behaviour.

Point taken. Not opposed if handled appropriately. -- Sca (talk) 12:26, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Not a fan of a FP of them as a couple. I much rather have her solo photo. Bammesk (talk) 16:14, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, this is what existed that I could work on. It's the era of her work that there's photos worth restoring for, and it's better than any other image we have for this era. Given it was this or not do anything to celebrate her life. I chose this Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 17:22, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'm as reluctant as anyone to endorse Ike Turner, but that's not what we're deciding here. Supporting because of the work of the photographer and restorer and because of the quality and historical importance of this image. MartinPoulter (talk) 10:13, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Despite my misgivings about Ike, the duo are notable enough as a pair that the EV carries the nom for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:16, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Just to note, this has now passed on Commons. I am very bad at actually putting images up for the POTD dates on Commons, mind ye. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 23:29, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
