Since, there's been a lot of mixed opinions on which infobox image is the best depiction of the actor, it's better to list them out and discuss.

I think A represents him the best followed by D. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:27, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

:Newer image F seems better. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:01, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

::Can we request a consensus for image F??? This is not a good picture nor is it flattering. His face looks incredibly unappealing, and it also doesnt best describe his features in any way. I do not understand why you changed a perfectly good picture in the public image & fashion section without a consensus.

::A picture of him in a hoodie may be appropriate for this section but this is not a good picture.

::No offense but every picture you have provided here have been of bad judgement. A is not flattering, neither is D or F. Perhaps leave the sourcing of pictures to a different editor. Soe743edits (talk) 12:52, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:I think B is the best. Khiikiat (talk) 10:27, 18 February 2025 (UTC)

::I think A is the best. M.lebedev (talk) 04:50, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

:I think A is the best, and D is the worst. Cmm78 (talk) 12:40, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

::Sorry, I mistyped. I meant B instead of A. Cmm78 (talk) 12:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

::Also think D is the worst. M.lebedev (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

:B seems like the best choice for the infobox. No unnecessary distractions (hat / hood). Focus entirely on his face. Closed mouth. He's looking directly into the camera. List goes on. ArturSik (talk) 13:55, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

::I think B is better. Or maybe F? Lililolol (talk) 02:55, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

:Is this all we have on offer? (serious question, I mean don't we have any non-mustachioed pic, for example?) ---Sluzzelin talk 03:07, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

:B or a cropped version of C. All the others I find to be slightly awkward. Ggoofy14 (talk) 22:14, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:A is not a flattering picture. F is also a visibly horrid picture for a wikipedia page of an actor. he's not a rapper. B is the most acceptable, though not great. D is also not great but my personal pick of the bad bunch.

:is this really all there is though? can we maybe find a nicer looking picture that everyone can agree on?

:A complete unknown premiere in london had some really amazing wikipedia esque pictures of him, maybe we can find one from those.

:they seemed to capture his recent features very nicely. Soe743edits (talk) 01:24, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

F is goood. ! – SJ + 19:53, 22 February 2025 (UTC)

:B is the best to me for a normal-looking expression, no hat/hood. A is a close second. That being said I don't love really any of them and would love more options if available per wiki rules. Yeoutie (talk) 15:32, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:: Yea, I think we can simplify this poll to B or F. B is the best standard profile pic: good gaze, closed mouth, no hood. (But we don't have to be 'standard' if another is clearly better) F strikes me as a good photo, but could be elsewhere in the article. – SJ + 18:45, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

:::If it has to be between those two, F is the best choice. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

::::lol F is definitely not a front page wikipedia picture. not in that hoodie. Soe743edits (talk) 01:26, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:::Is it? If you zoom in on F it looks slightly fuzzy to me. Still prefer B based on my previous comment plus it’s much clearer than F. ArturSik (talk) 21:13, 24 February 2025 (UTC)

::::B is not a flattering picture of his. The infobox image needs to be one from which he is most easily recognisable, and I think F does a better job at that. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:46, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::See, I don’t think that’s the case with F at all. Out of all of these, F is one where he’s least recognisable to me. Could be his facial expression. Also, whether someone looks unflattering or not is a matter of opinion, and really shouldn’t be our main point of concern. The reason I still think B is the best option is because it’s almost passport-like. He doesn’t pull any faces, just looks straight into the camera without any distractions. It’s most representative of what he actually looks like, and can be easily recognised by anyone. ArturSik (talk) 10:54, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::::::While I agree with you that "flattering" is subjective, I disagree with the analysis that "he doesn’t pull any faces" in B, when he is smirking, which isn't ideal. A neutral smile, such as in A or F, is hence preferred. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 11:15, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

::::::I agree as well that B is the most standard looking. if we had to pick of this bunch, B is definitely the safest option, however I don't think it's a good picture.

::::::im sure we can find some better looking pictures. Soe743edits (talk) 01:32, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::interesting that you think B the most standard looking picture is not a flattering image. but the weird looking picture of his face in a pink hoodie represents his features well and is apparently flattering. lol Soe743edits (talk) 01:29, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

::::::It's fine to disagree without being snarky. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:20, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:::::::wasn't my attention, apologies if it came across that way. B does seem to be consensus option for now, maybe we leave that up until we find a better picture? Soe743edits (talk) 06:28, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:I like B/C the best. I do like F but I would prefer one where he's not wearing a hoodie or obstructing his face (like D). Is there one with the hoodie down from the same event? Kokaynegeesus (talk) 02:57, 26 February 2025 (UTC)

:B is my first choice. F is my second choice. The rest I don’t care for. Trillfendi (talk) 06:47, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
