- Support, though I shan't promise restoration, if people want that, it'll need to go on a long back burner. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 8.9% of all FPs. 23:06, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support; considering the age of the original map (c. 1630), I think that the resolution of the image is good enough. Even at full zoom, it's legible and largely transparent. There are some spots and stains on the background, and I think that's normal. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 03:39, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose Already failed last month, and per WP:WIAFP, the main article is still a poor stub containing only 116 words. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:56, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Is the article size a criterion? ArionStar (talk) 02:31, 5 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support, albeit lukewarm. Not much acquainted with the history of South America so can't judge EV, but for a 17th C. map it is quite detailed. – Sca (talk) 16:24, 7 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support I think we should support more material from Latin America, especially from a rare event and map due to the few Dutch invasions in Brazil with momentary success. Wilfredor (talk) 04:00, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
