Reason
Photo of BASE jumping, good depiction of the sport, good angle of view and composition. I think of the wide angle barrel distortion as part of the composition in this case, and not a bad thing.

Original – Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut, Air Force pilot, and aerospace engineer.
Alt 1 Scratches and specks removed.
Reason
Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go to space and the first to orbit the Earth on 12 April 1961. This wonderful maniac then directed Vostok 1 on a descent course, ejected from the spacecraft, and landed using a parachute.
If that is not enough, this photo is also very rare. Gagarin died less than 7 years after his flight. He also managed to scar his handsome face two months after this photo was taken on 3 July 1961. So this photo is the best representation of his appearance during the notable time that we may ever get.

  • My opinion about the EV and composition, he was a pilot in training to become an astronaut. He died in a training accident. This photo shows him in action, in training, in his environment, in the middle of a bunch of training hardware. This image has good EV in the article and fits as good as any image can.

Original – South Korean young actor Byun Yo-han
Reason
As said previously, I think it's a high resolution of this young South Korean actor and I'd like to add two things: the background seems confusing for the Korean letters, but I was told by a contributor that it sets context for those who understand. Secondly, it got four votes and didn't reach quorum, that's why resubmitting, whether to be opposed or supported, that doesn't matter as everyone's opinion is respectable.

Original – Poster for Jules Massenet's La Navarraise, showing Emma Calvé in the role of Anita. The piece was originally performed in London, Calvé reprised her role from that production for this poster's performance, the French première at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique on 3 October 1895
Reason
A fine image. Does have some of that unrecapturable "new technology is cool" thing - in this case, being able to print photos big, which I believe was very, very new at the time, and hence this probably looked far cooler back then. It's like Fred Ott's Sneeze or how Final Fantasy VII's low-poly 3D character models did not look like total crap at the time. Anyway, this has held up better than a lot of those, and I think Calvé's acting talent is a big reason for it: her pose and expression really sums up her role.

Original – Poster for the première of Meyerbeer's Le pardon de Ploërmel, also called Dinorah
Reason
Posters tended to get better over time in the 19th century. For its time, this five-colour poster was pretty darn good. Plus, it's a première poster, which always adds a bit of EV. The opera has two names, which is kind of confusing, but, well, that can't be helped by us.

We don't go by "vast majority of readers" and "interest of main page audience", we go by notability. Main page is the front face of an encyclopedia, not a journal. FP criteria defines EV in term of article usage, not main page use or suitability. Bammesk (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Some of us prefer to think for ourselves, drawing on training and experience, rather than consult an institutional rule book assembled by anonymous persons of unknown qualifications. – Sca (talk) 21:41, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Anonymous persons of unknown qualifications" are called "editors", they build Wikipedia. From top of this page: "images featured on Wikipedia:Featured pictures should illustrate a Wikipedia article in such a way as to add significantly to that article, according to the featured picture criteria." From FP criteria: "adds significant encyclopedic value to an article and helps readers to understand an article." It doesn't say main page, it says article.

OriginalLillian Feickert, c. 1912
Reason
As you may know, the 100th anniversary of suffrage in the United States is next year. That means preparing for it is not a bad idea. Feickert has a fairly well-developed biography... but her image looked like this: [10] - That's... not ideal. I think it's a very nice photo of its type, and certainly does the fade better than Nell Mercer. Downside is the composition kind of needs a little space around it. It's something around 500 dpi by my figuring, so pretty good resolution, even if it's not amazing size otherwise.

Original – Metal slinky
Reason
This is a Commons FP of the Slinky toy that's currently used prominently at the Slinky article. It demonstrates the Slinky's nature as a pre-compressed spring, its ability to sit with both ends on the floor, and its typical appearance at rest. This was nominated for FP 13½ years ago (see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Spiral), but it failed because it wasn't then in a high-EV use and because some voters thought it wasn't a particularly appealing image. It now has a use with high EV, and images with anything less than high quality can't become FPs on Commons, I think we need not worry about concerns that its general quality is poor.
