- Oppose - Sorry, but I have to oppose this one on EV grounds. Given that we have an excellent FP of her already with a much more natural composition in an engineering environment relevant to her profession, I fail to see what a bland portrait of her adds to the comprehensive value of her article. -- Veggies (talk) 22:57, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
- It's been stable as lead for a while. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 02:30, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
- I'm not opposed to it on stability grounds. Typically, infoboxes use portraits, rather than dynamic-composition photos, to illustrate the person in a bio article. I just don't feel it adds as much or more to the encyclopedic quality of the article than the FP photo we have of her already. It's a bland photo of a historical figure with much better alternative photos in the public domain. -- Veggies (talk) 22:25, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
- Eh, well, it's the third one I've done of her. Variety is good in illustration, and people disliked the wind tunnel one for some reason. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.3% of all FPs. Currently celebrating his 600th FP! 03:15, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
