  • Support as nominator --Jacob Richardson (talk) 19:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I just discovered this nomination. Is it so old that it can't pass and would need to be renominated? Let's at least get this nomination out of limbo. Nyttend (talk) 14:14, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Doesn't meet size requirements. It's only used in List of United States Marine Corps acronyms and expressions and Thousand-yard stare where I think there's MANY images that could be used to illustrate those. If this particular person had an article or was notable then size requirements might be overlooked, but for such general use on such general articles, it's a problem. There is also other serious technical problems with the image/scan as well, way to dark for instance. — raekyt 14:43, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose, suggest 'speedy' close This is a great photo, but there are much better versions available: I agree with Raeky's comments. Nick-D (talk) 10:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
