- Comment: This isn't particularly useful as a depiction of Saladin, as it's a fanciful recreation of him by someone centuries later (and in a very different cultural context). But all the uses of the image are as (merely) an image of Saladin, rather than (say) as part of commentary on this piece of artwork, or depictions of Saladin, or similar. So I'm struggling to see the EV, here. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:36, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Believe this is from Doré's Crusades, which could well have an article. That said, it crops quite a bit of the image out on all sides and should not be featured in this form. Oppose Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.6% of all FPs. 18:07, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose: Orientalist depiction made centuries after Saladin was born. Minimal EV. – Howard🌽33 19:08, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
