[edit] Maps_of_Korea

Wikipedia is not an image gallery. This is a spawn-of-Liancourt Rocks page: discussion of Dokdo and its representation on maps should be kept there. Delete and transwiki orphaned images to the commons. Mark1 05:24, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, werent these same maps up for vfd sometime ago? Megan1967 06:13, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Same maps, different page. ;) Mark1 07:05, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Encyclopedic. Not appropriate to embedding in the actual Liancourt Rocks page, but if I'm reading that article I'll almost certainly want to see those maps, too. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:42, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep historic maps are encyclopedic. Kappa 18:55, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and move the images to commons. There's room in Wikipedia for an article on the historical geography of Korea, illustrated with these maps, but this is just an image gallery. --Carnildo 19:45, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki Move it to Commons because it is just a collection of images--Sultan Q. Khan 21:03, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the images but delete the article. Wikipedia is not an image gallery. Rossami (talk) 00:38, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The maps are interesting, and we want them somewhere. If this article gets augmented with text explaining the people who drew them and the processes they used, the governmental context etc. then it would be a fine addition to Wikipedia. As it is now, it's perfect for Commons. Fg2 01:57, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - article would support discussion of the historical development of the mapping of the region. -- BDAbramson thimk 14:41, 2005 May 5 (UTC)
  • Keep - historic maps are very pretty and I enjoyed looking at them Olivia
  • Delete as a non-article, but send the images to Commons. Gazpacho 05:39, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and move to Commons: Collection of free images and maps belong to the commons. This page is not an article, but only a gallery. A link can be provided on Liancourt Rocks to the commons page. -- Chris 73 Talk 09:12, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep please agree with kappa `Yuckfoo 19:59, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep they are related to the argumentation regarding ownership of the islands. That makes them encyclopedic. Valentinian 02:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, send images to commons as above. Radiant_* 09:42, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. Move to Commons and start a real article about Maps of Korea. --Puzzlet Chung 16:08, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to commons - SimonP 19:16, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
