  •   Support Historical image from the NARA collection that shows the Hirano Family, who was interred in a Japanese internment camp in Arizona. IMHO, a very powerful and haunting image, and historical despite noise. Missvain (talk) 05:11, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Support Photography as a social document. Restoration should be done, however.--Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:25, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Oppose -- Should be restored and the frame removed before being nominated. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 00:04, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment I understand that Commons loves to restore images, but, as someone who works in the GLAM industry, and works closely with staff and folks who are involved in image donations, it's a general belief that to have people restore the images on Commons takes away from the historical and archival importance of the images. Of course, you can do what you want with the images, since they are on Commons. I disagree that an image needs to be restored in order to be considered a featured image. I also come from traditional photography and honestly, at times, the history of the photograph - the marks, the wears, the tears - are sometimes as important as the image itself. Lost cause I'm sure sharing my thoughts, but, worth a shot. Missvain (talk) 14:40, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  •   Comment I agree with you in the general sense, so much that I voted support of the image. There are, however, a lint and dust specks that are not part of the image itself. That is the restoration I refer to. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:58, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
