Several children in a Jakarta slum

Reason: This image was promoted in 2005 largely because of its' "message", however the quality of the image itself seems poor to me. Both the framing and the lighting seem bothersomely off, and the EV is decent, but there are enough similar images that it can't be carried by EV alone.
Articles this image appears in: Child poverty

Delist provides almost no EV to Child poverty, just children playing with trash, can be of any soceio-economic background without more information really... doesn't illustrate poverty as well as billions of other images could. — raeky t 00:37, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
~~Weak~~ delist. It's underexposed and little noisy, but that it has stuck as the lead image in the article for seven years suggests it has some kind of EV. I could be swayed either way if we had more information about how typical (or not) this kind of scavenging is in Jakarta, whether there are risks associated with it, etc. Chick Bowen 19:23, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Changed to full delist, since I think File:Jakarta slumlife14.JPG is a far better illustration of child poverty, and I will place it as the lead image in the article if and when this one is delisted. Chick Bowen 03:26, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delist as above. J Milburn (talk) 23:21, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, in response to Chick Bowen. Landfills small and large quite common in Jakarta, where poor garbage management contributes to flooding because of blocked drainage, such as the most recent one last month. It may not have encyclopedic value for a broad topic such as child poverty, but could for a focused article on the city's environmental management. —Arsonal (talk + contribs)— 11:38, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delist Hindsight is 20/20 but it's hard to believe that this image was ever considered the best that Wikipedia has to offer. Cat-five t c ---- 06:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- It was promoted on account of its message, not its quality. That much is clear from the original nom. Sven Manguard Wha? 23:45, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
