South African Apartheid

Reason: Although this is very encyclopedic, the image is very small, and it is not very sharp at all.

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Delist Per nom--CPacker (talk) 06:24, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
- Done and Done. Thanks. - Milk's Favorite Cookie 18:54, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
Keep High enc and historical value, new size and sharpness are adequate for subject. Mfield (talk) 21:55, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As said above about the historical value outweighing the minor flaws in quality --Mifter (talk) 19:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
