Comment – Not sure of the impetus for this Australia-specific nom. Given the massive coverage of her death last September, every literate reader knows she was queen of the United Kingdom and of the Commonwealth realms, including Australia. – Sca (talk) 12:36, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right. – Vinícius O. (talk) 16:04, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a good photo, but I'd like to see it in her article. I'm not saying you can't promote multiple images for multiple uses, but that's usually from sense of time, e.g. a young Darwin, or W.S. Gilbert nearer the age he wrote a play; What makes her more Australian in this photo than any of the other ones from her Diamond Jubilee? Is there a wallaby cropped just out of frame? Does the crown have corks dangling from it that were photoshopped out?

I'm a bit sarcastic there, but ye see the point. It's a fine photo of her; better for her late years than any other photo in her article. So it's promotable, but... not as used. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 04:00, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your feedback. It is much appreciated. – Vinícius O. (talk) 16:29, 3 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That said, I will follow this up with one more thought: If that ribbon she's wearing is significant and meaningful, that might pull this up a bit. But, as I said, I think all that really needs to happen with it is it being in Queen Elizabeth II in some prominent usage, or even just being the lead in Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II might be enough. Just, y'know. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 12:23, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support The EV seems pretty strong here for articles on the monarchy of Australia. Elizabeth II's role as Queen of Australia was, at least technically, separate to all her other roles. The photo depicts her with broaches linked to this role: that on her right shoulder is themed around Australia's national flower, the wattle. That on her left shoulder is also wattle themed and includes the Australian coat of arms. Nick-D (talk) 01:42, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That does justify this a lot more, although I'd like to see that explained somewhere - file description page, say. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.4% of all FPs.} 06:04, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
