• This picture is supported by no references, is ugly/homemade and is being misused for propagandistic purposes. I don't deny that a map of the linguistic minority areas of Greece would be useful, however I do think that it should be backed by reliable references and correspond with reality.

• Keep, this reflects the literature pretty well and can easily be sourced. Reference would be Trudgill (I forget the exact article right now, but I used to have it somewhere.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:26, 15 February 2008 (UTC) reply
• Comment, User:Polibiush added this link to the image page: [1]. I don't know how reliable that site is, but by looking at that site and the current image, the current image appears to be off. _{El Greco}^{( talk)} 02:31, 17 February 2008 (UTC) reply
• Keep, Ethnologue is a very reliable source. Polibiush ( talk) 17:11, 17 February 2008 (UTC) reply
• Neutral. Image is interesting but better make one with minorities. In this one Pomaks are not shown and I think wants to underline the word "Turkish". In Greece there is a muslin minority. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 20:24, 17 February 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: "Muslim" isn't a language. This is supposed to be a linguistic map. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:16, 17 February 2008 (UTC) reply

• we already have one nonfree portrait in the infobox, and picture of dead pol pot doesn't really add to readers' understanding. (one of three unneeded nonfree images of pol pot i'm nominating) Calliopejen1 ( talk) 22:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC) reply

• Keep - Yea, but it's the only picture of Pol Pot's death. The image was iconic at the time and widely distributed as proof of death. Since his death is addressed in the article, and since this is a picture of Pol Pot's death, it should be kept. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cumulus Clouds ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 12 February 2008 (UTC) reply

• But does anyone dispute his death now? I don't think our readers need to see the picture to know he's dead. Calliopejen1 ( talk) 00:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Keep It. Are you really that squeamish? Then might I suggest you avoid the mummy exhibit next time you visit a decent museum and what ever you do, do NOT watch the Nick Berg execution video. Not even to determine if it is indeed fake. Oh, and avoid funerals at all cost. That was sarcasm by the way. My dear grandmother passed away this summer and I not only saw her dead body in person; I touched it. Geeze, leave the educational pics alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.109.202 ( talk) 05:02, 20 February 2008 (UTC) reply

• Keep - The picture isn't there to prove whether he's dead or not, it's there to illustrate the points made in the article. I think an important and unique picture such as this should be kept in an encyclopedia. Orpheus ( talk) 09:57, 27 February 2008 (UTC) reply
• Keep - Of educational value, not least in the sense that they show the importance of demonstrating that a despot has been killed for the purposes of national reconciliation. This process, for instance, was practised after the Nuremberg Trials. Articles about those executed following Nurmeberg frequently include pictures of the dead subject (see, inter alia, Alfred_Rosenberg, Joachim_von_Ribbentrop and Herman_Goring). Further pictures of the the Late Pope, post mortem, appear in the article Funeral_of_Pope_John_Paul_II so we can hardly argue for a general prohibition on pictures of the dead.
