  • Comment Firstly, even if this were the best available image, I'd say it was too small to be featured (it comes from a source that could clearly be reproduced at a larger size). Secondly, I'll be damned if we don't have a picture of Pedro that's already featured (I found it on a google search for Pedro II of Brazil. It's the first result....). Why it's not the lead picture in his article, I haven't a clue. But it should be. Suggest speedy close. Cowtowner (talk) 17:23, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sure we could, if there were EV that was independent of the other image and the second image were up to the standards. This is effectively the same picture of this man and at a hugely inferior quality. Cowtowner (talk) 17:38, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
