- Support as nominator – — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:46, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Conditional support, not sure whether the background is natural or fake/post-processed. Unfortunate clipped head, but given historical uniqueness, looks ok. Brandmeistertalk 12:22, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- The clipped head was definitely an artistic choice by the photographer; it's like that in the original ad. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:41, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Comment – (nit) – Caption at Jim Morrison terms it a "promotional photo of Jim Morrison in 1967," not '68. (Looks like they used another pic from the shoot for this album cover 40 years later.) Sca (talk) 13:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Caption fixed. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 06:47, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- Support - This is a pretty iconic picture of Jim Morrison and I do love The Doors. GamerPro64 23:39, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
- Conditional oppose - Almost certainly copyrighted. I've created a deletion discussion for it here. Kaldari (talk) 23:37, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wondered about copyright. Sca (talk) 23:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- Copyright law at the time just required publication, not first publication. It would have been the copyright holder's responsibility to ensure that the work was published with a notice. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:52, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wondered about copyright. Sca (talk) 23:40, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
