  • Support as nominator – Alborzagros (talk) 13:57, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. I respectfully disagree with the nominator about EV. It only appears to be used in Thomas Müller and a list of footballers. It does not seem to contribute much to either. As a simple snapshot portrait, it is hardly among wikipedia's best work. Even in the Thomas Müller, there are other images that are of higher quality and actually depict the subject in the activity he is notable for.

  • Oppose - Just as Becky Sayles stated, this picture does not contribute any significant information about the said footballer --DUCK404 a (talk) 01:42, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • How many articles are needed to be featured picture? I have never heard about a nominee photo the necessity of being glued to several articles.Alborzagros (talk) 14:22, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment -What does not contribute any significant information about the said footballer? Only lead picture. And only appears to be used in Thomas Müller and a list of footballers - please - now. It is perfecly enough. Hafspajen (talk) 20:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Look, just because my opinion does not agree with yours does not mean that you need to criticize it. My reason is valid - a photo simply showing a footballer with a neutral expression has a very low EV. Be mature, and stop arguing - DUCK404 a (talk) 18:42, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above -- mcshadypl TC 20:48, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good quality --Muhammad(talk) 19:45, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support any but prefer ALT - as per Muhammad and Crisco. Hafspajen (talk) 20:47, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I'd prefer a bit more head room. Anybody against me trying to clone in some space above him (separate upload, of course)? — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:37, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - before any of the many new accounts start objecting, FP rules say: Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in a photographic image is generally acceptable provided it is limited, well-done, and not deceptive. Typical acceptable manipulation 'includes cropping', perspective correction, sharpening/blurring, and colour/exposure correction. Hafspajen (talk) 12:48, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • You highlighted "includes cropping" as if this were cropping, but it isn't. If creation of cloned content is deemed to be allowed (which I personally disagree with), then I think it should be explicitly included in the "acceptable manipulation" list to avoid doubt. 109.152.146.134 (talk) 03:45, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either version. It's a good portrait shot used as a lead image in a bio article. That's plenty of EV to be featured. Rreagan007 (talk) 20:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support either. Per Rreagan0007. Adam Cuerden (talk) 17:43, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Like The Alternate One National Names 2000 (talk) 13:55, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
