[edit] Marvel Zombies covers

Marvel Zombies covers (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Nature of the article, as a gallery of copyrighted cover images, is not in line with Fair Use guidelines - and without the images, article doesn't really serve any purpose --Mrph 08:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Which would make this a copyvio, wouldn't it? And copyvios can be grounds for a speedy delete. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 09:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - gallery of fair use images. Copyvio. MER-C 11:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - a simple text list with maybe one example in the main article would totally suffice. See previous discussion here. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 12:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete or concentrate and merge into Marvel Zombies. This is a serious copyvio, and the text is interpretive, not informative. As I mentioned in the previous discussion, I would not object to some of this content in a simple ("Marvel Zombies #a, b printing is a homage to Book X #Y, by artist Z.") list (probably in the main Marvel Zombies page) but the way this article is presented is inappropriate for Wikipedia. ~CS 13:57, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete page but merge content, sans image gallery, per CS. TheRealFennShysa 15:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Re-Merge part of this back to Marvel Zombies. I'm thinking an image of one cover from the series beside the "classic" cover it refernces, plus a (cited) list of the other covers and their origin. Displaying one with accompanying critical commentary is a reasonable application of fair use, but what we've got right now is unacceptable. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 17:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. How do I made copyright violation. ' 18:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Looks like a clear copyright issue. Information-wise, there's nothing here that couldn't be included in the main Marvel Zombies article.Chunky Rice 22:28, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Copyright violation and also really uneccessary. Might work fine on a fan site but not here. (Emperor 14:16, 28 March 2007 (UTC))
