Original – A portrait of the burlesque dancer, Faith Bacon

Reason

A vintage portrait of Faith Bacon, who was one of the most famous burlesque dancers during her time. During the height of her career, she was billed as "America's Most Beautiful Dancer", and I think this picture shows why.

• Oppose and Speedy close - Below the minimum size requirements — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:38, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

• @Chris Woodrich I just resized it to 1,500 × 2,223, I thought since it was an old image it would be exempt from that requirement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainbow unicorn (talk • contribs) 00:21, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• That's not how the image size requirement works. It is available at higher resolution (as this person selling it [1] has a higher resolution image); finding it is the challenge; typing "faith bacon" into Google images doesn't work and that is the limit of my image finding skills.

• @Belle I tried looking, but could not find a version of a higher resolution. In the Featured picture criteria it says exceptions can be made to the size requirement. So could this picture qualify? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainbow unicorn (talk • contribs) 02:03, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

• Upsampling doesn't work. Period. It does not reintroduce the data lost during downsampling. The technical quality just isn't there. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 02:16, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
