A BLP image that I came across just by chance. The detail is excellent, there are no distractions in the background, it's naturally lit. I think it's a great photo, and I think it meets the criteria.
Oppose: I agree that it's a decent enough photo, but I don't see high encyclopaedic value here. His article is short, and he's a presenter on only a small branch of the BBC's many limbs. His co-anchor doesn't even have an article. Apparently he did some minor acting when he was young. To me it all seems rather dull, and wouldn't be of interest to many outside of northern England.

I don't disagree with that point, although my application of it in this instance is that the picture can become featured at a later date. I assume that, just as one can de-list a current featured picture, one can also nominate the same picture more than once. Maedin\talk17:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I get what you're saying, that the image could become renominated and featured at a later date, but unlike the article that can be edited and improved 1000 times, this image will not change between this nomination and any possible future nomination. It is what it is. Now, tomorrow, and in three years' time. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:56, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Whilst being of good quality IMO, I don't think it carries much EV. If it appeared on the main page, would anybody want tor read more? --Muhammad(talk)17:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
