Original – Alexei Leonov in April 1974, wearing a lapel pin of the Apollo–Soyuz Test Project emblem, File:Apollo-Soyuz Test Project patch.svg

Reason: This youtube video can explain the subject's significance better than me. This photo was taken a year before the 1975 Apollo–Soyuz Test Project, his second spaceflight and the first joint American–Soviet mission.

Oppose – Photo illustrates nothing about the reason Leonov was known in the Soviet Union. Just another man in suit & tie at a podium. – Sca (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Sca. Geoffroi 22:59, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- @Geoffroi and Sca:, are we going to require that Édouard Manet or Elizabeth Glendower Evans have something in the photograph that demonstrates their notability? Why are you making up a special requirement for astronauts and cosmonauts? This is a good portrait and intended to identify the subject of the article (hence the EV). He was made Hero of the Soviet Union twice, the second time for his work on Apollo–Soyuz mission. What more than a mission pin and Soviet Union flag do you want? --- Coffeeandcrumbs 23:27, 18 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  - - Is it necessary to bring in my noms? I did vote support, you know. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.1% of all FPs} 00:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies. I was looking for places Geoffoi voted. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:14, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, just... y'know. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7.1% of all FPs} 00:48, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Coffeeandcrumbs: I can't make any new requirement, I can only cast my one vote. This portrait is set up by a pro photog, and dozens of people could've been photographed in quick succession. There's no wow factor. The photo of Miss Evans has a striking and strong pose and facial expression. The painting of a painter is OK, though I would also like to see an FP of Manet at his easel.

Support – EV. Coffeeandcrumbs nice restoration of background, there are some bright patches around x,y=(640,1380) to (1000,1780), may be worthwhile to touch up. Bammesk (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- Done. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 18:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
