Estonian scientist who studies A. thaliana
Yes. As it seems, the guy doesn't even have his own wikipedia article. --A.Savin 10:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Has now. He is also rather likely to become a professor soon in Tartu Univerity, he is very successful in his field of study and is definitely notable enough for an article.
What makes it interesting for me, is that at some moment there is a situation where person has to be very well known and in some situation not at all. In what situation we should talk about notability? What it it's just an image of an old lady sitting on a street market or a young boy in beach?
I would argue that it is an interesting image with a notable person. But I'd let you do decide if you agree. Kruusamägi (talk) 14:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Now, perhaps he's indeed an ambitious scientist; but looking at Commons:Featured pictures/People, we see that there are portraits of people who play in a much higher league wrt their relevance; surely there are also photos of common people, but that pictures typically have some artistic component, and/or an unusual composition, etc. which qualifies them to be among the "very best of Commons". This picture here, however, is neither of particularly high EV nor of much artistic value, so not enough for FP to me (my opinion; maybe just a matter of taste). --A.Savin 19:34, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
