Wikipedia articles aren't really meant to serve as image galleries. It'd make sense to add these photos (when/if they come 'round) to articles on the area, but I don't see why they need their own separate article. Vianello (talk) 02:59, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete *Transwiki -Agree, Wikipedia is a encyclopedia regarding the spoken/written word, not a photo journal. Do we appreciate the time-effort and energy in uploading the photos, yes, and thank you.  I am sure someone will be using them in an article.  But as a category, isn’t that what Wikicommons is for?  I am sure they will appreciate the contributions. ShoesssS Talk 03:10, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. To judge by the expressed purpose of the article, this is a clear violation of WP:NOTREPOSITORY. Galleries of images are not encyclopedic content. Deor (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - wikipedia isn't for photo galleries. The author should consider adding the photos to the articles on the place names. - Richard Cavell (talk) 07:48, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is not an encyclopedia article, but a promise to place an image galleries. Image galleries are for WikiCommons. Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:11, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki any images not already there to the Commons and make the gallery there. Having galleries about a topic is perfectly acceptable there. - Mgm|(talk) 09:26, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Transwiki any images not already there to Wikimedia Commons and delete. Tohd8BohaithuGh1 (t·c·r) 09:52, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Just out of interest, what on earth does "....upon wikipedias acceptance of photos after the 4 day wait period" refer to....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:25, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * A user account has to be autoconfirmed (established for four days and ten edits) to upload images to WP. Commons has no such restriction, so the author of this article can go there and upload the photos now if he wants. There are no images here to transwiki at the moment, so my "delete" opinion remains unchanged. Deor (talk) 13:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, I didn't realise that as I didn' try and upload an image till I'd been on here for several months..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 13:45, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete - article is meant to be an image gallery. -- Whpq (talk) 18:08, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
