Support. Good quality, attractive picture, ok EV, and the fact that she's just standing there looking cheerful is appropriate for someone who's notable as a presenter and sports journalist. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:28, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support : Amazing portrait DreamSparrow ^Chat 07:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
~~Comment~~ Oppose – Definitely a toothy grin in this apparently promotional shot of a minor media celebrity. Fantastic EV – for Zahnärzte. – Sca (talk) 12:46, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, yea, toothy ;-E - but why do you call it promotional? I do concur that the article EV isn't so great, but it's a nice potrait, for a change... --Janke | Talk 16:55, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nice portraits are a dime a dozen in PR-land. What's interesting is a face showing experience, character, etc. – Sca (talk) 21:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This nice portrait is free, and she looks beautiful and confident. Geoffroi 04:01, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. No encyclopedic value. Espresso Addict (talk) 04:30, 3 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not for the vast majority of Eng.-lang. readers. One must ask why this slick pic. of an Austrian sports journalist would be of interest to English-language Wiki's Main Page audience. Wieso ist sie für dieses Publikium interessant? – Sca (talk) 13:06, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, considering the subject of today's featured article (1927_Chicago_mayoral_election), I actually prefer this... ;-) --Janke | Talk 19:34, 4 July 2019 (UTC) [reply]

We don't go by "vast majority of readers" and "interest of main page audience", we go by notability. Main page is the front face of an encyclopedia, not a journal. FP criteria defines EV in term of article usage, not main page use or suitability. Bammesk (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Some of us prefer to think for ourselves, drawing on training and experience, rather than consult an institutional rule book assembled by anonymous persons of unknown qualifications. – Sca (talk) 21:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Anonymous persons of unknown qualifications" are called "editors", they build Wikipedia. From top of this page: "images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria." From FP criteria: "adds significant encyclopedic value to an article and helps readers to understand an article." It doesn't say main page, it says article. Main page is the face of an encyclopedia, not a journal. Bammesk (talk) 18:13, 7 July 2019‎ (UTC)[reply]

Much obliged to Bammesk – whose user page is so informative – for enlightening me on the fine points of editorial practice, and in only 80 words, too. – Sca (talk) 21:40, 7 July 2019 (UTC).[reply]

It feels promotional to me to highlight this not highly notable person with this not particularly unusual photograph of a heavily made up face. For a sports journalist, I would like to see them on the job, with some sort of a sports action in the background, and much less of posed-in-full-make-up feel.

Support – A good sports photographer is freely uploading their work to Wikimedia projects. Why are people whingeing here? The complaints department is over there. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 17:51, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support It's taken this long to nominate it over here? Per my !vote at Commons. Daniel Case (talk) 00:49, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes we run on kerosene, sometimes even wood, but it could be worse :-) Bammesk (talk) 01:24, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
