Battlescarred Baby[edit]

Original
Reason
When I first saw this image it was very disturbed by it, and it moved my very much. If it can move me then I am sure it will move others to, so that why it is here. I will state right of the bat that this image falls short of the required size standards, but I will ask that in this case some historical consideration be given to the vote — oops, I mean the the "consensus" :)
Caption
This terrified baby was almost the only human being left alive in Shanghai's South Station after brutal Japanese bombing.

  • Oppose A shocking image for sure, but the quality (even for a historic photo) is way too low. There sure is a better scan somewhere... --Janke | Talk 13:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose The image is poor quality albeit shocking and perhaps relevant to certain articles but not quite FP standard. Gavin Scott (talk) 17:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per above points. --Sharkface217 22:45, 16 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support for its historical illustration of the war's atrocities, and its rarity. I'm willing to excuse the size. There are smaller FP's on Wikipedia.-DMCer (talk) 13:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
