*{{support}} Geocoding is not essential, and the image more than meets the criteria and is an outstanding image. --[[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:08, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
**Geocoding is a requirement, so that criterion is '''not''' fulfilled. Please read the guidelines. [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:46, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
***Geocoding is a requirement, '''''when relevant'''''. It is my opinion that geocoding in this instance is not relevant. If it were a photo of a building, then yes, I would say it is relevant, but here is a photo of a person, and where they are in the world is not really all that relevant IMHO. --[[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:56, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
***To quote the guideline (my bold emphasis): "All images are expected to be geocoded '''unless it would not be appropriate to do so'''. '''Exceptions include''': studio and '''other non-place-related shots''', unknown locations, illustrations, diagrams, charts and maps, situations where the publishing of a location might be prejudicial (for example, privacy concerns, endangered species)." This is not a place-related shot, it is related only to ''King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck''. Does it matter if he is sitting somewhere in Bhutan? Mozambique? Antartica? Or even the Moon. Where he is, is not part of the photo subject, nor is it part of the scope of the category of which this is a valued photo. If it was being considered in the scope of ''King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck in Bhutan'', then yes, geocoding ''may'' be relevant (but still not definite), but in this instance it isn't relevant at all. --[[User:Russavia|russavia]] ([[User talk:Russavia|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 18:14, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
**I've seen no indication for a justification  for the lack of geocoding on the image page. [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 20:17, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

::I think it should be an exception beacuse it is a studio shot and we do not know where the location of the picture taken. It's says it could be an exception if it had one of those two beacuse I read the criteria.

*{{Support}} What is the goal in VI ? respect absolutely the criteria (not sure they are not, in this case) as unbreakable requirements, or recognize valuable and rare images ?--[[User:Jebulon|Jebulon]] ([[User talk:Jebulon|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 23:32, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
*{{comment}} I could have said "Oh, I recognize the wallpaper, this photograph was taken in [[:en:Dechencholing Palace|Dechencholing Palace]] in Thimphu". More seriously, I consider that Spongie555 has given acceptable reason for the lack of geocode and I would willingly support this portrait, a fine one and the best we have, if a dedicated [[:Category:Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck]] was created (see criterion 6 => must be well categorized at an appropriate level.) This notable person deserves it, doesn't he? --[[User:Myrabella|Myrabella]] ([[User talk:Myrabella|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:16, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
**{{info}} Note that at the time of the shot (March 2007), he wasn't officially crowned yet (occured on November 2008). --[[User:Myrabella|Myrabella]] ([[User talk:Myrabella|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 21:25, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
*{{comment}} Co-nominators should abstain from voting in a system where a single vote can decide the outcome. [[User:Lycaon|Lycaon]] ([[User talk:Lycaon|<span class="signature-talk">talk</span>]]) 22:43, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
