- Wikipedia:List of images (edit | [[Talk:Wikipedia:List of images|talk]] | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) and the lists of free images in Category:Wikipedia image galleries
While these lists may have been useful back in 2004 when Wikipedia was just getting established, they are now a sprawling and obsolete mess that are not useful for cataloging and maintaining free content in light of the commons. Delete --Peta 00:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Agree and
deletereplace with notice as described by Dgies (00:10, 27 February 2007 (UTC)), commons categories take care of this completely and well. GracenotesT § 00:16, 23 February 2007 (UTC)- Basically: all pages listed here. I would suggest starting a CFD for the category and subcategories of Category:Wikipedia image galleries (excluding Category:User page galleries) after this MFD is closed (and if it's closed as delete, of course). Having two discussions on the same topic in two different places is a bad idea, and the CFD can be made as a merely procedural motion. There are no angry category-filling mastadons. GracenotesT § 00:52, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for making what I was proposing clearer; I wasn't proposing category deletion, rather I was using the category to show the extent of the galleries in question. --Peta 02:44, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. Best leave this task to the commons. bibliomaniac15 00:18, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy Keep This should not be deleted, its an important category for finding images.Tellyaddict 18:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete - Impossible to maintain.↔NMajdan•talk 19:58, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete (subpages too) We have Commons and categories that serve this purpose much better than a list could. Koweja 20:03, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep but blank - There are a huge number of incoming links to this page and subpages. Rather than simple deletion which would be a shock to people expecting a gallery of images, we should replace these pages with a notice saying how to search for stuff in commons categories. For an example, see what was done with WP:PAIN. —Dgiest c 17:56, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- Keep but blank per Dgies. JoshuaZ 21:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
