• 'Delete or Transwiki. Although I believe that Image galeries have a place in Wikipedia, they need to be focused on a single topic rather than be a random collection of images associated with a place. This gallery would be similiar to a list like List of people, places, and things associated with Kerala. On the idea that wikipedia is not a repository of images, see the ongoing discusion at Wikipedia talk:What Wikipedia is not/galleries. Dsmdgold 23:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
• KeepAll the images are related to the atricle Kerala. Most of the images are bundled with writeups related to the image. The gallery was created oving to the already overcrowded article.The gallery does add qualitative value to the atricle to which it's attached.Pratheepps
• Comment Commons is a Wikimedia project dedicated to media, especially photos, and it welcomes galleries. Provided the licenses for these photos are appropriate, Commons really welcomes this gallery. Wikipedia articles can link to Commons just as easily as they can link to other articles on Wikipedia, so the gallery will still be quite useful there. In addition, if the photos themselves are on Commons, then articles on Kerala in other Wikipedias can link to them (and the gallery) so the same photos and the same gallery become useful to many different projects. Take a look at galleries like Commons:Tokyo (that's just one example). It's better on Commons than on the English Wikipedia. Fg2 09:46, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
