Reason: I nominated this for delisting several years ago, when the community was ambivalent. Even at the original nomination, there were very few supports. I just don't get the image- I don't see any EV. Lot of notable people plus a high resolution does not a FP make- this image is not particularly visually interesting (the composition isn't exactly perfect...) and, more importantly, seems to have no particular EV: the meeting between these men, nor their appearance at whatever gathering this was taken at, receives no mention in any of the articles. (I have notified the nominator.)
Articles this image appears in: Archibald Butt, James Bryce, 1st Viscount Bryce, Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell

Comment whilst the EV isn't overwhelming, I see some value in at least the Baden-Powell article where it makes sense in terms of scouting coming to America (the date being pretty early). There's not much but the Butt article adds something too - his service to Taft "Butt continued to serve as a social functionary for Taft" - it seems to be a good illustration of at least this statement. Whilst the meeting itself being mentioned would be a much greater EV, there is some. Just wanted to make the case, at least - the previous delist nom isn't particularly helpful.

If it was cropped to the centre three, it would probably not be a terrible Baden-Powell and Bryce image. It lacks a clear focus as it is, though. Weak delist. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 10:22, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - Just don't see the EV. It can't be in their physical appearance; all of them have free images available. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:52, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - Per J Milburn. JFitch (talk) 23:20, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist Poor composition and little apparent EV. I agree with Adam's comment that a crop would improve the visual impact of the picture. Nick-D (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
