Nadia Comaneci
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: far less than 2 Mpx resolution Kruusamägi (talk) 22:47, 27 January 2013 (UTC)[reply] Anyone other than the nominator who disagrees may override this template by changing {{FPX}} to {{FPX contested}} and adding a vote in support. Voting will then continue in the usual way. If not contested within 24 hours, this nomination may be closed.
  •  Oppose because this is not among my favorite pictures of this fantastic athlete. I do not oppose because of technical issues. Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 12:37, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question — Why are we applying current standards to a 1977 photo? This was taken in relatively low light conditions using film of ISO rating no more than about 400 or so (does not look more than slightly "pushed"). Scanning at higher resolution would not bring out more detail. Noise is intrinsic to the film process. The photo was taken at a static moment in her routine (which is why I do not particularly care for it). Photos taken in more dynamic moments would have quite a bit of motion blur. Are we to exclude all pre-digital age photos because they cannot match current technological standards? Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 12:37, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment When something is pre-digital then it doesn't mean it has to be small etc. Old photos may be excellent in thous issues (example). Or well... when talking about size then even photos of this person could fulfill the current quality requirements if it would be possible to get high quality scans from the museum (they exist, but are not public).
