Nixon's Departure

Original - Richard Nixon boarding Army One upon his departure from the White House after resigning the office of President of the United States following the Watergate scandal in 1974

Reason

An iconic image of the 1970s and one of the more historical images of 20th century American history. Being the only US President to ever resign the office, Nixon waved farewell with his trademark V-sign even during such a negative moment of his life and US history. Admission is made to its small size, but the historical and encyclopedic value is extraordinary.

• Oppose. I was going to support till I looked at it 'fullsize'. I know there's no definite size restrictions here, but I use my basic definition that it has to be big enough to show necessary details, and I don't think this is - maybe about twice this size would do it for me here. I also wonder why if it's copyright free as stated on the image page, why it isn't available at a decent size. --jjron (talk) 15:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
• Oppose per jjron.
