[[Image:Cherokee Syllabary.svg|thumb|250px|'''Original''' - The Cherokee syllabary is a [[syllabary]] (a set of written symbols that represent or approximate syllables) invented by [[Sequoyah]] in 1819 to write the [[Cherokee language]]. By 1824, most Cherokees could already read and write in the Cherokee language. Very few changes have been applied to the syllabary since 1828. The development of Cherokee literacy was a key factor in maintaining the ethnic identity of the Cherokee population.]]

* '''Support as nominator''' --[[User:Spikebrennan|Spikebrennan]] ([[User talk:Spikebrennan|talk]]) 17:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' - With obvious EV but not an image in the strict sense of the word -- [[User:Alvesgaspar|Alvesgaspar]] ([[User talk:Alvesgaspar|talk]]) 21:01, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' Good info in the article, but I can't see this as a featured ''picture'' - it's just a list of symbols that happen to be in an image format... it's also in [[unicode]] on the image page, and is not much different! --[[User:Janke|Janke]] | [[User talk:Janke|Talk]] 14:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' per above [[User:Clegs|Clegs]] ([[User talk:Clegs|talk]]) 17:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' per above, but if the user uploaded an original translation paper that has these symbals on it, I would fully support that. [[user:ktr101|Kevin Rutherford]] ([[User_talk:Ktr101|talk]]) 23:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
