• Support as nominator – Aviafanboi (talk) 11:48, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose Promotional posed image that adds little EV to either article. Crop lower right too tight too. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:56, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose – Per Charles. Obviously posed for promo pitch. Lacks EV. – Sca (talk) 12:12, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• About the oppose rationales above: This is a ceremonial, show platoon [1], so posing and promoting is built into what they do and part of the EV. Bammesk (talk) 13:21, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  How does it inform the reader/viewer about the aircraft or the Marine Corps? Boring, IMO. -- Sca (talk) 13:27, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• If that's your oppose rationale, then put it next to your vote! Bammesk (talk) 13:30, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Support. Given the uses, it's clearly being used to show off these platoons that exist for show.
