  • Oppose basically for the reasons given in the previous nomination. The low-earth-orbit perspective is not what the reader would expect, and is not mentioned in the article, making the image potentially more confusing than illustrative. --Paul_012 (talk) 20:01, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - This is not being given as a representation of Earth. The EV for this image is from it representing "The Blue Marble 2012", which means it has to be a low-earth-orbit perspective because that's what "The Blue Marble 2012" actually used. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 00:57, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment/Question It doesn't have a particularly high EV in the article it is used in, which has essentially become a gallery of images of the Earth. I'm not opposing, as Blue Marble 2012 does have its own section, but I do have concerns about the EV. Is there enough coverage of Blue Marble 2012 to warrant spinning it off into its own article (which would have this as the lead image)? Sven Manguard Wha? 22:47, 12 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
