Oppose. Tells me nothing about rajpoots. Is uninteresting relative to the article. Quality's ok.Becky Sayles (talk) 00:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, except that it shows their traditional clothing, and so on. =) Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 02:52, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Not a great image, and it doesn't seem to add much. The article doesn't seem consistent with the images that appear in it. I can't tell from this image or the others what traditional clothing looks like, nor how it contributes significantly to the encyclopedic value. It adds something, but not much. The article does much more for the subject.Dwayne Reed (talk) 19:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per above. Clegs (talk) 20:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose for similar reasons; a nice image, to be sure, but other images on the page also show their clothing, and it doesn't seem to explain a whole lot about them, nor does it wow me. Perhaps even the subject matter itself has a muted feel to it -- a bunch of guys, sitting around talking. Fletcher (talk) 02:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose very boring image. I don't know much about rajpoots, and it makes me want to know even less. Greener Cactus (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
