The image quality is fine, but there is simply no context; the EV is not in any way clear. For this reason, it is not to appear on the main page. The meeting is not mentioned in any of the three articles- the image isn't really adding much, and the articles wouldn't be losing much if it was removed- it pretty clearly fails FPC#5, to my eyes. I am reminded of this image, which was opposed because of EV concerns. As an aside, with only three supporters not including the nominator, the nom would not be considered to have a consensus to promote today.
Delist. I'm not for applying current standards to previous promotions (e.g., 'wouldn't have enough votes today'), but indeed dubious EV, and frankly pretty poor composition - if a Wikipedian photographed and nominated this with contemporary notable figures it wouldn't stand a chance (additionally it seems Archibald Butt was only identified through some slightly questionable OR). However, I don't believe the editor/nominator has been notified? --jjron (talk) 12:31, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Comment: Millions of people visit Wikipedia each day. It's always struck me as vaguely ridiculous that a picture can get promoted to Featured by three or four of those people and demoted again by another two or three. Do whatever you feel is in the best interest of the project, guys. -- Michel Vuijlsteke (talk) 01:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
The official meeting of the gentlemen shown emphasises their respective roles and standing in society. It was among Bryce's duties to attend and mediate at official Presidential occasions that were relevant to Britain. It shows Baden-Powell's reputation and that even in its early days, the importance of the Scouting movement was being duly noted at the highest levels of public life and administration. It also may be one of the last photographs of Butt (presidential aide, hence appropriate for the photo), who boarded the Titanic in 1912, with fatal consequences.

All fairly interesting, yes, but the meeting isn't mentioned in any of the articles, and it doesn't really serve to illustrate anything in any of the articles. They would hardly be worse off without it, so far as I can see. J Milburn (talk) 10:58, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
No, of course not, I didn't say there was. All I was saying was that it was not clear why the meeting warranted illustration, and therefore it wasn't clear what the image was intending to illustrate, or what meant it had the kind of EV necessary for a FP. J Milburn (talk) 16:25, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Keep: Really impressive resolution, and I find it worthy just as portraits of the men and of official duties bringing them into circulation. (Also a great size reference for Taft.) Maedin\talk13:57, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
