• Support as nominator --Nikhil(talk) 07:44, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
• Oppose as size is well below the minimum and, as Holonyak is still alive, the image is still replaceable. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:36, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

• Comment Can't we have a D&R, if a better image is found? This is a good pic IMO.--Nikhil(talk) 01:43, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

• Weak Oppose size is only concern. Quality is great and EV is tremendous with all those LEDs behind him. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 20:07, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
