•  Info created by girl's family photographer - uploaded by J Milburn - nominated by Keraunoscopia -- – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 21:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Support -- – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 21:42, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- I love photos of kids and this is a very beautiful girl indeed. But there is nothing really special about this picture and the image quality is on the poor side. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:42, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Alvesgaspar, I've looked at this image closely several times after reading your comment and I don't think I understand about the image quality. How is it on the poor side? If I may make a comparison between a girl and a tiger, File:Tiger-2.jpg was in this year's POTY and it's extremely over-sharpened. Looking at the image at full size, there are literal blocks of pixelized color that represent, I suppose, hair, water droplets, and reflections. That to me is poor image quality. (I'm only asking out of curiosity.) – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 06:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

•  Oppose Not an important personality; nor represent any Ethnic group. So just a beautiful family snap for me. It is an en:fp; but the original article was deleted saying non-notable child actor, 2 roles as a kid, Modeling is not significant. JKadavoor Jee 11:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Comment No problem, thought I'd throw it out here. Is there a way to quickly delist so not to waste people's time? Also, I listed it because I couldn't find a blonde girl FP; I thought there would be an easy means to do so, like through categories, but apparently not. So I wasn't sure if I was competing against a similar or better FP image of a blonde girl. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 11:18, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• This? Are you talking about withdraw nomination? Just use {withdrawn} template although it may too earlier. JKadavoor Jee 12:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Actually, nevermind, I don't know why I'm so scared to see an image be opposed for FP. So I won't withdraw my nomination. That's the whole point of this process. Gotta learn to take the nos with the yeses! And thanks for the link, that's a fantastic picture. I'm still wondering if there's an organized way to find FP pictures sorted by categories or something, aside from sifting through 4,000+ pics. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 23:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

• Do you mean Commons:Featured pictures/People? You can find categories at Commons:Featured pictures. JKadavoor Jee 05:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

• Oh, it's right there! I feel stupid. I was looking at the categories in specific images and not finding anything. I was actually thinking more specific categories, to be honest, but that works perfectly. I can sift through those in the future to make sure I'm not nominating something that might already be there. Thank you. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 07:16, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

•  Neutral nice image of a little girl, but this is not a typical pose of a child in this age, it more a a typical adult model pose, IMHO, so the image give me a strange impression --Slick (talk) 20:43, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Comment not represent any ethnic group: this is not fair. It is a very good photo of a blonde white girl. Yann (talk) 09:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

• OK; but it need to be specified in the "info" above and in file description or category. Otherwise she is just a beautiful girl. It is a pity that the short description on nomination page is not displayed unless we put our mouse over the picture. JKadavoor Jee 05:35, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• JKadavoor, can you clarify for me? You want me to add to the description page to explain that she's a caucasian girl? As for the short description you have to mouse over for, the instructions say to limit this to three words, so I don't really consider it very important. But for the image description, I can update that if you think it needs to be more specific. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 06:25, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• I think so (about file description and categorization). But Yann can help you better; he is more experienced in this regard. JKadavoor Jee 06:47, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• Hmm, that would be really weird: "Lucy Merriam, a White American child model and actress, known for her role as Emma Lavery on All My Children." – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 07:51, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• Not like that. :( May be that Category:Female blond hair and Category:Blue eyes are enough. JKadavoor Jee 09:17, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

• Oh, okay good, sorry if I took you too literally. I agree, I think the blonde hair, blue eyes categories pretty much do the job. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁galaxies 09:29, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

•  Support Better that most portraits we get here. Yann (talk) 15:10, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
•  Support But not as a portrait of a child model/actress; as a portrait of a beautiful blonde white girl (per Yann). I would like to encourage nominations form underrepresented areas like Sociology and Development geography compared to Natural history and Geography. Sorry, if my first review was a bit biased; I've a known hate to models. JKadavoor Jee 06:25, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
