•  Support --Snaevar (talk) 00:45, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- I see nothing featurable in a 1942 book's image. Remember that it is the visual value we are recognizing here, not the documental importance. Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:12, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Question Remember that it is the visual value we are recognizing here, not the documental importance. I'm not sure, and not so categorical. A high educational or documental value can mitigate a not-so-good visual value IMO...--Jebulon (talk) 17:56, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
