Nominated by	cmadler (talk) on 2012-07-06 13:05 (UTC)
Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Old Gymnasium, Eastern Michigan University
Used in	Global usage
Reason	This is the best photo on Commons, giving a clear view of the front of the building, in the en:Richardsonian Romanesque style. Although the image's quality is less-than ideal due to its age, this is probably about the best we will ever have, since the building was demolished in 1965, and was in disrepair for many years before that. -- cmadler (talk)
Review (criteria)	Comment Attempts to erase power cables, are "modern". There must exist a version of this image that is better. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 13:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC)  Comment File:Detroit Publishing Company - MSNC Old Gymnasium(02).jpg is this in any way better? Boseritwik (talk) 17:30, 6 July 2012 (UTC).  Oppose The border should be cropped, and the patches look ugly. I can't imagine this is the best illustration for this scope. Yann (talk) 08:28, 7 July 2012 (UTC) Withdrawn. File:Detroit Publishing Company - MSNC Old Gymnasium(02).jpg is probably better, and as Yann pointed out, that could be further improved by cropping the border. cmadler (talk) 13:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
