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.
This issue is a part of a bound collection of old books that I have in my possession. As this particular book appears after a number of other books in the bound collection, I found it very difficult to put it under the scanner and close the lid. I do not want to mutilate the book by stripping it off from the bound collection.-The EnforcerOffice of the secret service13:18, 24 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 service05:28, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Support, if it is rare, out of print, there are no or very few similar images and the uploader has done their best to have it appear in a reasonable way, I can see there being a value to this image. The opposition seems to be based upon this being a featured picture proposal. --candle•wicke17:54, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support - Mainly per Candlewicke. The tilt, while noticeable, can be overlooked for the rarity and value of the image. VX!talk19:28, 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]
