 * Keep informative, visual and extremely pertinent to all Native American visual arts articles, of which there are several...Modernist (talk) 03:11, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Commons Commons does galleries. 76.66.193.224 (talk) 06:36, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per Modernist. This is not a "mere collection" as referenced in WP:NOTREPOSITORY but an encyclopedic, in-context image gallery  that serves as a valuable adjunct to Choctaw.  Wikipedia could use more of these, not fewer.--Arxiloxos (talk) 06:37, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * So we can't have informative, relevant image galleries on Commons? I'm not sure why there needs to be a whole page of just images (and captions) of Choctaw people--the pertinent ones ought to be in whatever article they correspond to. There's no need for a Gallery of Germans or a Gallery of Druze; this gallery is never going to be near complete, and as useful as these images are, they should not make up an article by themselves.  — fetch ·  comms   20:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep I find it useful and informative. It serves as a helpful guide to readers who are researching Native Americans, in particular the Choctaw tribe.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 06:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki - Some text that describes the imagery, but not enough to be considered encyclopedic in nature keep here. The Commons seems to be a better place for this gallery. -- Dlrohrer  2003  20:24, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Transwiki per Dlroher and fetcomms comments above, this simply fits better on commons than here Yoenit (talk) 13:44, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
