•  Support -- Really good photo of a violent tornado from 1957. Noting the only current featured photograph of a tornado is the 2007 Elie F5 tornado, which was taken 50 years after this photograph. Imperfections in photographs can be accepted given the rare circumstance. WeatherWriter (talk) 22:30, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
•  Oppose Very small resolution (barely over 2Mpx) and bad quality. Too contrasted and low level of detail, even for the period -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:58, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

 Comment I think the circumstance can allow the low detail level to be overlooked. It is one of the few photographed F5 tornadoes (highest level of tornado) with a photograph in the commons (Category:F5 tornadoes). WeatherWriter (talk) 04:24, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Please try COM:VIC instead. You need to find the correct scope -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:24, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

I think it has a shot to be a featured picture, but I can move to/try VIC if this really has no chance to become a featured picture. WeatherWriter (talk) 06:04, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

Photographically the image is very grainy, and the main subject poorly depicted in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:50, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
