- Oppose. I'm sure it sounds pretty cynical to complain about cluttered composition. But despite some historical significance (I emphasize some since it isn't really a widely known iconic picture) the quality concerns dominate for my vote. --Dschwen 23:42, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose The quality is too poor for FP, I know it has important significance, but it is not an example of our best work. HighInBC 22:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong Support Contributes significantly--unless you somehow have first hand experience of what an atomic-bombed metropolis looks like--to a very important article. Technical merit completely irrelevant here--what do you expect from a devastated area with 1940s technology? Jeeb 02:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
