After the PROD was contested, I've taken this to an AfD. This is not meant as any criticism of User:Moonraker, who has done a great job putting this article together. I just don't think there's enough there to warrant an article. Bondegezou (talk) 11:56, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Can someone explain why the up to date image of Baroness Couttie, which is not only in colour & HD but is also the official portrait on the House of Lords website: [1] & [2], has been replaced after her death? The image that it has been changed too is 4 years old, is not used on the HoL website and is inferior in quality? 208.127.199.36 (talk) 12:37, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Per {{Infobox person#Image}}: When the subject of a biographical article has recently died, particularly those who have been publicly known for decades, editors may come to a consensus on the article's talk page regarding what image would best be suited for the infobox. An example of such a discussion can be found in the talk page archives for Elizabeth II (section Infobox photograph for after her death); in this instance, the 2015 photograph of Elizabeth II that was present in the article's infobox when discussions began was eventually replaced with a photograph of her taken in 1958. So, when a subject dies, it no longer makes sense to carry on using the most up to date image, because showing what the subject most recently looked like isn't necessarily how they're being remembered. In my opinion, the older portrait (which is also in colour if a little washed out and in actual fact superior in quality at >3 MP) is preferable as the subject appears to look more relaxed and natural; as for the HoL website, they still used it as recently as 2020. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk·contribs·email) 14:20, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
