Infobox image

I think image that I added on his page 3-4 days ago it's better than 2013 portrait and it's new and high quality E-Book Writer (talk) 10:03, 5 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@MrGreen105 Do you agree with this change? The current portrait is from over a decade ago, while I believe this new image is better as it is more recent while still being good quality. However, I am skeptical on its copyright status. Titan2456 (talk) 18:51, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Titan2456, while the image is still from over a decade ago, Wikipedia generally has a theme of official portraits for political leaders being retained, regardless of when it was taken in relation to how long they were in office. See the portraits on Jawaharlal Nehru and Sheikh Mujibur Rehman for example. I am also skeptical of the image's copyright status, and it seems the user who suggested this change was blocked for sockpuppetry. However, if you do want a more recent image, perhaps these options below could be considered:

Sharif in 2014
Sharif in 2015
Sharif in 2016

I personally prefer the second image because it is higher resolution. Kind regards, MrGreen105 (talk) 21:09, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was also skeptical of the image’s copyright, anyways, I am okay with any one of these three options as the portrait. Regards, Titan2456 (talk) 01:06, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
