Heerlen photo gallery

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article consists entirely of a photo gallery. From WP:IUP:


 * Articles consisting entirely or primarily of galleries are discouraged, as the Commons is intended for such collections of images.

Many of the images on this page are already included in the article about this place, Heerlen. This gallery page should be deleted and the images should be moved to Commons where possible. There is already a page on Commons with similar images. Jncraton (talk) 16:53, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment — I WP:Proded it, and if that fails, consensus here may overrule. ContinueWithCaution (talk) 17:09, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
 * ...and I have removed that prod tag. An article that is being discussed or has been discussed at AfD cannot be prodded. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 18:06, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Merge – to Heerlen. Northamerica1000 (talk) 23:55, 11 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and oppose a merge- "Heerlen photo gallery" is not a logical or useful redirect for anyone; it's more likely to be confusing than helpful. And the article doesn't need a gallery merged into it, individual pictures can be added if they would improve the article.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and oppose merge. The article is explicitly a photo gallery contrary to WP:NOTGALLERY.  As for merging, Heerlen already is overstuffed with images and needs some trimming. -- Whpq (talk) 16:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
