Harry Potter images
"Wikipedia is not a collection of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles". --W(t) 17:13, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
 * This page was moved to WikiProject Harry Potter/Images at 14:21, June 25, 2005. Those who have already voted should take note and consider altering their vote: any further discussion should take account of the new situation. --Phil | Talk June 28, 2005 08:30 (UTC)


 * It seems to be acceptable to have galleries of existing images in one's userspace. Userfy to User:Bjwebb who started the page. He can link it to the project if he likes. - Mgm|(talk) 17:58, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Weyes and WP:NOT. --Angr/undefined 19:07, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, when you put it like that, Delete Move to WikiProject Harry Potter/Images--drak2 20:39, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * If this page is indeed falls under the deletion policy, then so be it. Is it possible to move the images to Wikicommons? Or can this page remain as part of the Harry Potter Project? Honestly, I don't wish to see the page deleted." Tomhongs 13:25, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Commons doesn't accept non-free images. You could always copy the page to your user page though, I doubt anyone will object as long as you don't start building a harry potter images collection just for the gallery page. --W(t) 13:50, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
 * I'm still new to Wikipedia and all. Thanks for telling. Tomhongs 14:29, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * An image page was one of the goals of the Harry Potter wikiproject. Could it be a subpage of that? - e.g. WikiProject Harry Potter/Images --bjwebb 15:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * How about sprinkling the images liberally over existing Category:Harry Potter articles? Most texts are prettier with an image. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 15:57, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * All these images were already on pages of Wikipedia before the "gallery" was created. --bjwebb 18:08, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Come to think of it, I'm not even sure this image gallery isn't a copyvio. Running over the Fair Use provisions, I'm not sure image galleries fall under it. --W(t) 16:09, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)
 * Users, please make sure what you are doing. If this page is found not to be a copyright violation, please make the neccessary remedial actions. I really hope all these images have somewhere proper to go to and not get deleted. Tomhongs 17:05, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * All of the images are used under fair use. Maybe we could have a Harry-Potter-Image Category? I think it would be fair to have it as part of the wikiproject, as it's useful to people that are editing articles --drak2 18:40, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This complaint does not make sense: if the images themselves are legitimate for use within Wikipedia, there is no way that arranging them in a gallery can then somehow make them illegitimate. --Phil | Talk June 28, 2005 08:30 (UTC)
 * Move to WikiProject Harry Potter/Images and have done with it. The only good use for this is to collect images for the WikiProject people to work with, and that would be sufficient reason to preserve it there. --Phil | Talk 16:42, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Weyes. Pavel Vozenilek 01:41, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
