  • Keep. Not very interesting? This image really puts into context just how many American Bison were exterminated in the late 1800s, and most certainly has the "wow" factor. --Tewy 19:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
    • It didn't say nothing to me, and I don't know anything about extermination of American Bisons in the late 1800s. It should link to the article of the subject it talks about. Anyhow, it is very very small. Tomer T 10:30, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
      • It's historic value, uniqueness, and strikingness override the size concerns. Also, it does link to the relevant articles. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-04-10 19:17Z
        • Can you tell me where is the article that talks about its subject? I want to know what are you talking about. Tomer T 13:02, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep, but feel free to ask for a replace if anyone finds a higher resolution version. gren グレン 05:31, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep: I never comment around here, but I do check in once in awhile. I had to comment here. I first saw this image in a history textbook somewhere in the annals of educational career, it is still one of the most memorable photographs I have ever seen. IvoShandor 07:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Also it does appear in American bison which has an extensive section on hunting. IvoShandor 07:16, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I originally found/uploaded this image. This is the clearest and largest version available. And of course it's very interesting and striking. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-04-10 19:12Z
