The white appears too white somehow. No structures visible. --Tremonist (talk) 12:24, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – Article is basically a stub, lacking info about the subject's import. This this (5-year-old) pic added two years ago. Sca (talk) 14:08, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- I think the article pretty clearly establishes the subject's notability (I would go out on a limb and say that being a Marja' is, alone, enough to confer notability, in the same way we assume that a bishop is notable), and I don't think the fact that the picture is from 2010 is a negative, given that the subject died in 2011.

Comment: Charismatic portrait; both Islamic clergy and Persian people strike me as underrepresented topics. I'd love to support, but my one worry is that the uploader's userpage and talk page on the Persian Wikipedia have been deleted. This is a tiny niggling worry; other than that, I'm inclined to trust that there is no issue here. Josh Milburn (talk) 18:59, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If one is not a Muslim, and not familiar with Islamic clerical organization, one gains almost no knowledge from the article, the text of which totals 78 words. Sca (talk) 21:36, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Article clean up is easy. Getting another free image of this individual, however... yes, the whites are blown, and there is some CA at the top, but quality is still acceptable. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:28, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support per Chris - this is a successful portrait photo. If a better photo comes along (which seems unlikely) we can delist and replace. Nick-D (talk) 11:22, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I think I was getting worried about nothing in my comment above. Josh Milburn (talk) 15:27, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Background a bit distracting, also his eyes looking something out of the picture. Exploringlife (talk) 05:14, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
