Comment: She's really noisy. Does that have an impact on quality considerations, or is that moot because the original is that way?

Oppose. Image noise is a hurdle for me, and since I can't determine whether it is intentional or just poorly done, I must vote on the default, which is the standard FP guideline of no image noise or graininess. —Eustresstalk 02:15, 29 February 2012 (UTC)reply
Oppose agree with Eustress.

Oppose As with the "Flying Fish poster", this is not a scan but the original poster artwork direct from some designer's PC. The poster is dire. The photo quality is dire. The article this image appears in is dire and appears to contain nothing but the blurb from the back of the DVD. I suspect WP is being used to promote this film. Rather than being "a nice breath of fresh air", something smells here.

Entirely possible, but (assuming the film is eventually released) any possible promotion on behalf of the filmmaker is actually beneficial to the encyclopedia. Images, especially posters and whatnot which are the same no matter where they are published, are generally more NPOV than text. I wouldn't mind more people with high quality posters or other works donating them to the encyclopedia.

I don't understand your "more NPOV than text"? The poster contains cheery-picked review comments, as all posters do. That's as POV as you can get.

Those are text, not pure images. Note that I said "generally". Images like
File:Poster - Gone With the Wind 01.jpg are fairly NPOV in my opinion. For a POV image, we can look at different poses of
Barack Obama. A supporter might like his official portrait or one of him working, while a detractor will look for a picture of him scratching his behind.

Support I don't think that is all noise, I think some of that has to do with the background of the poster being textured. I think the poster looks very cool and different than your average everyday movie poster. — Preceding

Oppose. This is a poor quality poster, apparently made by the film's director for heaven's sake, of an independent, barely feature length documentary of no particular note which will most likely not be shown across any cinema chain in the world, uploaded by a user (possibly the director seeing as how she likes to take a hands on approach to the promotion of her film) who created their/her account purely to write articles about the film in question and it's director/herself (which borders on the blatantly promotional side of resumé-like and also has an unhealthy number of external links), to link to these two articles from as many related articles as possible and to upload this image and one of the documentary's director/herself. Do we really want to indiscriminately promote any movie poster that gets uploaded to Wikipedia just because it is a movie poster and therefore somehow "notable"?
