• Support as nominator --JJARichardson (talk) 17:47, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
• Support Sure! This is a good photo, and he's certainly been moving up there into the ranks of the most prominent scientist-educators of late. When you're taking on Sagan's old role, you've proven yourself. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 23:53, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose Is there a photo of him not gesturing? His hand is bothering me a bit.--Theparties (talk) 05:00, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose There's nothing remarkable about this photo and to make matters worse, this person isn't even important in his department of studies according to the wikiprojects that are interested in him. Khazar (talk) 23:31, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
