- Reason
- It's damaged in such a way that it makes him look like he has severe dandruff, it's of exceptionally low resolution - unnecessarily; the LoC has a much higher resolution version available - and, while I might forgive it this given the age, the crop is rather awkward. I am working on a replacement, but it's a different photograph, and, frankly? I'd rather have my work appear on the main page, which does not happen in a delist and replace.

- Comment - Any chance of seeing the replacement image, in some form or another, understanding you don't want this to be a D&R...-Godot13 (talk) 04:15, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- It's not actually ready yet, but it'll be based on http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cwpbh.05120/ - It's a different image, but I do prefer, when possible, to minimize the amount of restoration on the face. Adam Cuerden (talk) 15:12, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
- Support delist given the suggested image.--Godot13 (talk) 15:55, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

- "I'd rather have my work appear on the main page, which does not happen in a delist and replace." - I'm actually trying to add those images which were promoted through a D&R into the queue, when I find them. I'm frankly astonished that this was common practice. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:28, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
