  • Oppose. I don't see how this has high EV as you say. There are bound to be other pictures of this guy; he's not entirely notable; the picture doesn't tell me much about him. Also, could it do with a crop? -- bydandtalk 15:25, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm new to the VP process so please excuse any stupid questions, but what do you mean by "he's not entirely notable"? The article easily passes Wikipedia's notability criteria per WP:ATHLETE. Are yousaying that Collins isn't very important so neither is the image? Nev1 (talk) 18:42, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, I don't know what I meant by 'not notable', I think I was tired at the time. I just mean why is this picture more valuable than any other picture of him? -- bydandtalk 18:46, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The point is that this is a technically superior image, IMO. It captures the subject in a way the enables the user to identify him very easily, which makes it high EV.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think it would benefit from a tighter crop, to just focus on Collins. All the yellow in the background is very distracting, as are the players on the left. A crop doesn't need to remove Collins' action, just the extraneous parts of the image. It might end up a tad on the small size with a good crop though, which might mean a better image could be found.

  • This one I regret not voting on, it is a pretty good action shot. --I'ḏOne 20:39, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
