- Delist per nom, pathetic size. It's a tough cut though--even if you were able to see the shadows of the raised letters, it wouldn't be much more enc.--HereToHelp (talk to me) 00:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delist. Can someone with a good camera snap a high-res shot of this on their screen? :D\=< (talk) 04:01, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Delist Per nom--CPacker (talk) 06:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Suspend nom. Neither the creator/uploader, nor the original nominator have been notified of this delist nom. --jjron (talk) 15:55, 14 March 2008 (UTC)OK (and it's had some results). --jjron (talk) 13:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)- Comment I can provide a slightly larger version of it; I may have time to do that today. Other than that I cannot do anything except to state that the historical nature of the photo may be seen as outweighing the finest standards of image quality. --John (talk) 18:56, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Comment, I am not particularly invested in the outcome----but, do we have reason to believe that there is a higher resolution version around? gren グレン 00:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Update I have uploaded a slightly larger version; I do not currently have access to the original print I scanned it from. Again, if you are so minded, you may consider the historicity of the photo to outweigh the technical faults. John (talk) 05:50, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep I presume that the sign is no longer there, so, with the larger version, (and with the request to John to upload a larger copy if he ever he gets the chance) I don't think that delisting is appropriate. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 21:11, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep High enc and historical value, new size and sharpness are adequate for subject. Mfield (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
- Strong Keep per above --Mothmolevna ( © ® ) 13:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep As said above about the historical value outweighing the minor flaws in quality --Mifter (talk) 19:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep The size has improved (Thanks John) I will go close my nom now. Thanks, - Milk's Favorite Cookie 19:54, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
