File talk:M&Ms-Flavor-Varieties.jpg

This was a file that was created from personally-taken photographs, as to avoid a gallery of the images. The gallery was first created to show varieties and the branching out of the M&M's brand in the product line and to avoid the M&M's page from being cluttered by numerous small pictures. Most of the varieties and flavors are not significant in their own to warrant individual pages. A similar product page (Kit-Kat) benefits from having a longer list to include more pictures in a less confined space and don't have to include pictures like the M&M's characters.

After the deletion of all package pictures from the page by User:Hammersoft, I wanted to avoid another gallery (though I could ask for it to be allowed on the case-by-case basis of non-free gallery), so I condensed all of the product varieties into a single image. This is probably the cleanest solution, and shows easily the concept of M&M's product branching.

As far as Hammersoft's claim that the image would require 9 different copyright rationales, I would argue that the images are all similar products in the same category, using the same logo and characters, and owned by the same company, which could be included in am umbrella non-free rationale.
