Delist and Replace: Jules Verne[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 23 Oct 2019 at 19:06:02 (UTC)

Reason
I... was honestly surprised to see this was an FP. The restoration of the current FP is competent enough, but the original is a very, very poor reproduction, and is very overexposed. The jacket on the current FP almost looks drawn, due to the level of detail in it. The Carjat is, I think, much better. I haven't done any replacement in articles, because I felt I should let the votes come in first.

  • Oppose Sorry. This restoration is better. But the Nadar is a better portrait, with Jules Vernes eyes fully open and in contact with the viewer. P. S. Burton (talk) 07:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that the quality of the current FP is just too low. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 7% of all FPs 17:03, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Replace. I agree with P. S. Burton's observation but I think the increase in image quality outweighs it. If we find a better original to restore, then we can always replace again. MER-C 16:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Agree with P. S. Burton, also it seems to be slightly OOF. kallerna 04:36, 16 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak oppose – I prefer the composition (pose) of current FP by Nadar. Bammesk (talk) 16:50, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
