  • Support – Great detail, morbidly interesting. (An occasional B&W FP is desirable.) Sca (talk) 14:13, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support I have never seen a mummy as much close as this picture shows. Alborzagros (talk) 14:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question Where's the EV with this? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:58, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeh.. Chris, you are a bit right. I am searching for a perfect EV article for this.  - The Herald (here I am) 15:05, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Answer It depends definition of EV. It shows a mummy very close so has much EV._Alborzagros (talk) 15:03, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. In this case, the medium is the message, so to speak.
    PS: It also appears in Mummification, albeit quite small. Sca (talk) 16:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. A very emotive picture, but I'm really not seeing the EV. J Milburn (talk) 17:27, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Encyclopedic value: what encyclopedic information the image imparts. Since this is a detail, and there is no discussion of the hands in particular in the article, that is rather low here. Oppose. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:15, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Wonderful photograph, but I'm not sure there is any EV to it... Mattximus (talk) 01:24, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - To be valuable educationally (EV), the image should include more of the body. To be valuable artistically, the image should have more of interest in it. CorinneSD (talk) 02:04, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - such detail gives one a sense of detail in the mummification process. Close-ups and macros can do what no full shot can do. AtsmeConsult 20:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
