Self Portrait
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: minimum resolution is 2 MP. Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.

Is that not relaxable for sufficient mitigating circumstances? The picture's main concern is its notablity {in being probably the most recognised images/pictures/portraits of a very famous scientist [to say the least]} than its total technical perfection. Considering that, should this picture not be allowed a bit more cushion than, say, a picture of a similar quality but of a completely non-notable topic?

Noone disputes the notability. The endevour should be focussed on finding a source image in much better technical quality. FP is about value and high technical quality. --Slaunger (talk) 09:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I think this picture should be tried as a valued image candidate. The minimum resolution of 2 MP is a reasonable expectation of FP. --Dey.sandip (talk) 08:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
