Oppose – For the same reasons I opposed the Obama clip. Blah. – Sca (talk) 14:55, 6 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – State of the Union Addresses are annual staged events. I don't see enough significance in the words "madam speaker" in a 50 minute video, not in the U.S. in 2007. I know it's a first, but still. Bammesk (talk) 02:27, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Is it not a good idea to have at least 1 FP to represent the State of the Union Address? This is my second attempt at this and I only nominated this one because Sca insisted that the previous one is boring. Yes, it is a staged event but it is still a very important characteristic of U.S. government. I still believe the quality of the Obama video was worthy of featuring. Maybe I should try the Obama one again now that the holiday season is over. BTW, these videos are not easy to get. Commons is the only place on the internet you can get these videos unedited, not watermarked and free of charge. They each cost me $25. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 02:42, 8 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support. I've not sat and watched it (I have little interest, to be brutally honest), so I AGF on quality. There's clear EV for a video of this speech on an article about this speech. I'm thrilled to hear that "Commons is the only place on the internet you can get these videos unedited, not watermarked and free of charge" - until it's mirrored everywhere and spreads, of course, but that's the point of Commons.
