How can section A3 apply? Isn't an image worth a 1000 words? Shouldn't be too hard to make this a proper stub though. And all light houses are notable to mariners.--J Clear 00:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- A3 says, "No content whatsoever. Any article consisting only of links elsewhere (including hyperlinks, category tags and "see also" sections), a rephrasing of the title, and/or attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title. This does not include disambiguation pages."
- "Wikipedia articles are not:
- . . . .
- 4. Collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons. If a picture comes from a public domain source on a website, then consider adding it to Wikipedia:Images with missing articles or Wikipedia:Public domain image resources."
- I was not questioning the notability of a lighthouse; I have started 34 articles on lighthouses myself, and contributed to some others. (Alligator Reef lighthouse is one of my earlier efforts.) A picture does not make an article. There are many sites that mirror Wikipedia that do not include any images from Wikipedia. I did prod this instead of tagging it for speedy deletion in hopes that someone would transform it into a viable article. The article as created, however, is not acceptable in Wikipedia. -- Donald Albury(Talk) 00:48, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
