  • Weak oppose. Conceptually, it's a good idea and I think we could in theory feature a photo of a person doing a selfie, but I don't think this one has got the necessary composition or image quality. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 12:20, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose - agree with Diliff regarding the sub-par quality. Additionally, the subject's pose strikes me as awkward (more awkward than usual when taking a selfie). – Juliancolton | Talk 20:43, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
