A bunch of galleries (not lists of galleries) which contain nothing but images. Excessive numbers of images. I have not checked the copyright statuses of all of these images. User:Zoe|^(talk) 09:40, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, what's the policy on these types of pages? Enochlau 10:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. User:Zoe|^(talk) 19:08, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

I see. Delete all. Enochlau 01:49, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

• Dunno, but let's delete these and call it a 'policy-making precedent' (this is an encyclopedia - these are image galleries, ergo they don't beliong here). --Doc (?) 12:01, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, encyclopedic. "Nothing but images" is not true. Kappa 12:46, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, they should be (and are) in commons.wikipedia.org with a link in the relevant articles --Clawed 13:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, and move to commons if they haven't been already. - SimonP 15:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per Clawed Dlyons493 17:02, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki to commons, if someone cares enough to do the work. Otherwise, delete. Dunc|☺ 18:14, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all non -articles --TimPope 21:33, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Zoe.--nixie 00:10, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information . Don't transwiki to WikiCommons unless copyright status is verified. Few of these photos' subjects have significance in automotive history or in culture, and where there is any, it's not provided. Barno 00:15, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per above. Let this set some sort of precident. -[[User:Mysekurity|Mysekurity]] ^{[[additions | e-mail]]} _{01:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)}

• Delete. --ApolloBoy 07:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, the gallery should be avaliable somewhere. Maybe Common is a better place though. --Boivie 10:29, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Use the "Category" feature to group these images and create a gallery. The scant information with each image should be in an article the image is linked to. --Nv8200p (talk) 13:55, 17 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Should be on commons. RENTASTRAWBERRY ^{FOR LET?} röck 02:35, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
