Support Superb reproduction. I can see the variations in the canvas without any pixelation. --Guerillero | My Talk 17:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I'd like to see SteveStrummer's copyright concerns at Commons dealt with first. Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:56, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Nice (but unfortunate) catch. I've initiated an RfD on Commons. We should probably suspend further voting here until that RfD is closed. —Eustress ^talk 01:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'd suggest renominating if it passes the RfD. Let's not forget, Commons deletions can take months. Crisco 1492 (talk) 01:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Conditional support I'm not going to pretend to understand copywrite laws, but if you guys decide it's OK I'll support it. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 13:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I suspect the picture is PD, as an official portrait painted by the same artist of Nancy Reagan is labeled PD. See File:Nancy Reagan official White House portrait.jpg MathewTownsend (talk) 14:34, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the FFD suggests the same issues apply to other works. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:37, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

yes, there are others by him that are PD, e.g. File:Lady Bird Johnson portrait by Shikler, 1978.jpg, File:Jacqueline Lee Bouvier Kennedy.gif, MathewTownsend (talk) 16:01, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We'll see how the FFD works out. Naturally, this can't be featured while an FFD is open. It would have to be suspended. Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:08, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support prov. there isn't a copyright problem. JJ Harrison (talk) 08:42, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
