:Well, yes, it's pushing a POV. Namely, the Neutral one. Regardless, I recall policy explicitly stating that if we have cover art vs diagetic picture, we must choose the latter, see [[T:IUI]]. (There was a talk page article where there was an exception made for a character whose only diagetic appearance was a particularly poor illustration, in comparison to some good cover art, but this isn't the case here, and I can't recall what it was.)

:: That's actually outdated — nuancing that black-and-white policy was one of the changes which went through in the brief window between my rise to adminship and the death of the Forums. Under new and improved policy, an image being from a cover is a ''strike against it'' but can very much be outweighed by other factors, as more than the occasional ad-hoc exception you mention. (You may recall this being a factor in [[Talk:Bernice Summerfield]].) | |||
:: Though it's worth noting that the Joan Redfern illustrations here are from, well, ''illustrations'', not a cover. That's a rather different thing. | |||
:: In any case, this is ''not'' intended as a "TV always wins" precedent, but both of the illustrations on off here are sufficiently subpar to mean that '''I hereby rule in favour of using a [[Jessica Hynes]] pic for the infobox.''' (Naturally, one or more of the illustrations should be used in thumbnail form in the main body of the page.) I'll tentatively implement #2 for now since that has the most support so far, but #5 would still be my preference and I am happy for more people to chime in on which Hynes picture they like best. <span style="color: #baa3d6;font-family:Comic Sans;">[[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']]</span> <span style="color: #baa3d6;">[[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]]</span> 19:38, 22 December 2022 (UTC) | |||
