Weak support — I like the image. The focus is obviously the girl in the middle. She is reasonably sharp and the straight into-the-camera look while she grasps and partly hides herself behind the boy next to her really makes a beautiful photo that urges me to read an article about these kids. The problem is, the EV is thin and spread widely. Both the Afghanistan and the Demography of Afghanistan articles use the image in a mere table as an example of Pashtun people. The latter also uses a crop of the picture in this image that is also used in a few other articles like Pashtunistan and Pashtun_diaspora. Since these kids cannot really be identified as Pashtun people by the reader (no traditional dress or similar characteristics) their EV lies in their story, i.e. how they got to Camp Clark where this photo was taken. Without an article on Camp Clark or on the US-operation that got these kids there the EV is limited. --Ebertakis (talk) 23:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose per Ebertakis - limited EV. Tomer T (talk) 09:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm also failing to see any real EV here. A great press photo, not so great for an encyclopedia. J Milburn (talk) 00:17, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
