Gallery of the Founding Fathers of the United States

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. Page violates WP:NOT by being nothing but a collection of images. We have an article Founding Fathers of the United States, which contains a lot of information. This gallery, on the other hand, is, obviously, not giving any info but how these people looked, which is not discussed (and isn't really a hot scholarly topic). How any individual founding father looked is (or can be) shown at his article. The combination of the two (the look of individual founding fathers, and the list of all of them) does not add any extra information. Fram (talk) 13:58, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Does this page also exist on Commons?  This looks like a gallery of indisputably public domain images.  If some images are still in Wikipedia image space, those should be transwikied as well. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * They have this. I have no idea if a more complete page exists at Commons. Fram (talk) 14:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm the one who removed the prod. I'm neutral on this AfD, but since this is just a reorganization of images that already exist in the linked articles, I think it should be considered as a list, rather than a collection of images. An article that was, for example, "Images of Acadia National Park", is what this policy addresses, rather than the case at hand. (I assume we're talking WP:NOTREPOSITORY, right?) --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 15:35, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete this collection of photographs once those images which aren't yet on Commons have been transwikied (ec). Cliff smith  talk  15:37, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete - This page has now been transwikid to Commons and can be speedied. --Steven J. Anderson (talk) 17:47, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
