•  Support Nice to see one of your restorations again here. Excellent of course. Cmao20 (talk) 18:56, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Support. I have a suggestion, though: I think it would be a good idea to include the fact that this is an illustration from [name of book, year of publication] in the file description. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:15, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
  • It's a print. Adam Cuerden (talk) 21:38, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

• Then why is it in the "Printed#Book illustrations in color" category? I guess because there isn't a category for free-standing prints? If so, that should be remedied. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:17, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

• Fixed, my mistake, sorry. New section created. --Cart (talk) 08:05, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

• Super! Thanks, Cart. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 09:08, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

• @W.carter and Ikan Kekek: Sorry about that, hadn't noticed it had been added to a subsection. I had only added it to the main page listing, as I didn't realise bots did subsections now. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:27, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment A high quality restoration I'm sure, but it's worrying that I cannot oppose because the artwork itself is of minimal artistic merit. Is that what we want for FP? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:09, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
  • @Charlesjsharp: I mean, if you feel you should oppose, please oppose. I won't be offended, and would much rather have an honest discussion than people holding back because they feel they shouldn't talk about it. Adam Cuerden (talk) 20:00, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Charlesjsharp: I think you really bring up a fair point that merits discussion on here and so, please feel free to oppose for that reason alone. On second thought, I also have some doubt about this image since I would hesitate to nominate an image of similar artistic merit but hey, I am relatively new here so, I have yet to pinpoint the definite standard for featuring artworks. In any case, if this image passes which it most likely will, you might want to nominate it for delist some time later for the aforementioned reason if you feel strongly about it and want to generate a useful discussion. --Alsakan (talk) 21:07, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment I wouldn't oppose if restorations are deemed OK for FP. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

• @Charlesjsharp: But you clearly have objections to this one that go beyond just it being a restoration, and, as such, I'd prefer you'd oppose. You have objected elsewhere to the artistic merit of the underlying work and its historical inaccuracy, and I think those are sufficient reasons to oppose. In the defense of this image, I have noticed a number of artistic-but-unlikely-to-be-used-on-Wikipedia photographs pass here - I don't wish to call anyone out, so I'll link you some privately if you like - so I somewhat see the bar here being wiggly enough to get this over, but you clearly don't, and if it fails honestly, I'd prefer that to it succeeding dishonestly.
