[edit] Gallery of banknotes

WP:NOT makes is pretty clear that Wikipedia is not a repository of media files without encyclopedic text. This page is not a Wikipedia article and should be deleted. Coffee 16:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Move to Wikimedia. The individual photos are useful and could be used to illustrate articles about printing technology, counterfeiting, numismatics or economics, but it would be best for those images to live at Wikimedia. TruthbringerToronto 17:03, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a great collection of pics. WP:NOT also says that we're not supposed to keep dictdefs, but we do it all the time. Erik the Rude 19:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Policy trumphs precedence, this isn't a winning argument. Those dictdefs should be brought to afd, if they do exist. hateless 19:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep if extra text is added to make it more encyclopedic. Xyrael ^T 19:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, it appears this gallery is an extension of the banknotes article, thus there is encyclopedic text. Precedence has been set with Gallery of sovereign-state flags and other such galleries as extensions to conventional encyclopedic articles. We probably just need a main article note on top of the gallery to connect it to the main article. hateless 19:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It's like a list, but with pictures. I agree that it should be linked to banknotes as its main article. ScottW 00:14, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
