Original – Ali Farka Touré, Malian musician.

Reason: Not technically perfect, but also not bad. For a deceased musician, the minor issues - some graininess, unnecessary black-and-white - can easily be forgiven.

~~Support~~ – Nice portrait. Size isn't huge but at normal res facial detail is OK. Guy has a way with the axe, all right. Sca (talk) 16:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - A modern black and white photo is always going to be questionable regarding EV, however that can indeed be forgiven on a case by case basis. In this case though it's not very sharp, as mentioned it's fairly grainy and it appears to just be a grayscale version of this colour picture [1]. For a modern photo not FP material for me. - Wolftick (talk) 17:09, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
