* '''Support as nominator''' --[[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 01:49, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
* '''Support''' --[[User:Massimo Catarinella|Massimo Catarinella]] ([[User talk:Massimo Catarinella|talk]]) 21:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Weak Support''' Great picture. Weak support because EV not as strong as an actual photo of a [[Gorget]] or [[Gothic plate armour]] would be. [[User:Makeemlighter|Makeemlighter]] ([[User talk:Makeemlighter|talk]]) 03:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
**What period illustrations show better than anything else is how the armor was worn, and with what accessories (or lack thereof). Surcoats and tabards were standard in some eras, unused in others. [[User:Durova|Durova]]''[[User talk:Durova|Charge!]]'' 03:52, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
***But that's nothing that a modern photograph that gave dated its portrayal couldn't show. I honestly don't think that older illustrations have greater EV for their subjects. Greater appeal, perhaps, for matching and the historical value, but not necessarily better value for showing the equipment itself and how it was used.

*'''oppose''' per makemlighter. The extra detail of the full rez over the thumb does not tell us about armor, or even accessories. If you found an article for it along the lines of [[medieval watercoloring]] then I think it would have high EV. [[User:Debivort|de]] [[User Talk:Debivort|Bivort]] 18:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Support''' - We want a variety of sources so we can look at this from many perspectives. We can have a watercolour, and still have a picture. Both will add value. [[User:Shoemaker's Holiday|Shoemaker's Holiday]] ([[User talk:Shoemaker's Holiday|talk]]) 18:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
*'''Support''', per nom. If you can believe it, the [[Knight]] article only has two illustrations (including this one). [[User:Spikebrennan|Spikebrennan]] ([[User talk:Spikebrennan|talk]]) 14:37, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
