Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/President Barack Obama (2006 portrait)

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 5 Mar 2013 at 07:12:15 (UTC)

Reason: This image is now used only incidentally in 2 articles and not in anywhere near prime placement which all but negates it's EV. Another better image (Wikipedia:Featured_picture_candidates/Barack_Obama_Portrait) was put forward and shot down and this image survived a delisting nomination for lack of a better alternative, which requires nonlinear logic to understand considering the other images of the President.
Articles this image appears in: Economic policy of Barack Obama and Surface and Air Transportation Programs Extension Act of 2011.

Delist for the reasons given (the stark lighting and the limited EV in particular). [For the record, I know this isn't a D&R but if Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Barack Obama Portrait was relisted I think I would support. I don't agree with the opposing comments there.] Grandiose (me, talk, contribs) 10:39, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. I'll grant that this photograph has some shortcomings, but I just don't see better ones on Commons that are comparable. I don't think a formal portrait is comparable to a candid, journalistic shot of a speech. As for EV, the image is of Obama delivering a speech on energy policy, and it illustrates a section on energy policy. So EV seems pretty high to me. Chick Bowen 21:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist almost no EV in articles it's in, can EASILY be replaced with any other photograph for him in them, and a more official portrait would be probably preferable, or one after he became president than this one for those articles. Awkward facial expression, again I don't like photos of people with their mouth open while talking. — raeky t 15:29, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. At least 5 supports are needed for delisting too. Armbrust ^{The Homunculus} 07:22, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
