Cover ot Tamil magazine Kalki dated March 28, 1948
Reason
I feel that this scan of Kalki magazine cover issue dated March 28, 1948, is valuable due to its age. Unlike those of the West, there are very few Indian newspapers and magazines which keep online archives dating to the 1940s. The archives are not in publication and these issues are extremely rare and therefore, collector's items. Besides, as far as I know, there is no PD image of any other Indian magazine, that too in a vernacular language, anywhere in Wikipedia.

Comment Is there any reason there is no author information? Dabomb87 (talk) 03:42, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am a bit confused as to who should be considered as the author of this image. Since this is a graphic design, is it the designer of the cover, editor of this issue of the magazine or the uploader of the image.-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service 05:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While guidelines are not specific with regards to quality, an image is expected to be presentable. This is markedly cut off and extremely tilted. Rare or not, we do have minimum expectations and a lack of representation of a subject is not necessarily a reason for inclusion if the quality is not at the level we expect. This may not be FPC, but there are minimum requirements. Plus no consensus. Not promoted ~ ωαdεstεr16«talkstalk» 05:15, 1 April 2009 (UTC) (Wadester16 - April Fool's Sig)[reply]
