List of images and subjects in Gray's Anatomy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Articles proposed for deletion: The topics covered here have no business being on WP. They are directly from a textbook, and we do not give this treatment to other sources. We are not a repository of such knowledge, and it is not encyclopedic to have the sources alone. Such information is already in the public domain editions of the 1918 textbook and doesn't need to be here.
 * List of images and subjects in Gray's Anatomy
 * I. Embryology
 * II. Osteology
 * III. Syndesmology
 * IV. Myology
 * V. Angiology
 * VI. The Arteries
 * VII. The Veins
 * VIII. The Lymphatic system
 * IX. Neurology
 * X. The Senses/Common integument
 * XI. Splanchnology
 * XII. Surface anatomy/Markings
 * Template:Gray's Anatomy

In addition, they've already served their purpose. Many of these articles were created in 2006 when a large amount of content was taken from Gray's Anatomy 20th edition (1918) and put onto Wikipedia, a process that greatly expanded our anatomical content. The relevant pages have already been entered into anatomy articles (and now transwikied to wikidata) and so are now redundant.

In view of what I've said, I'm proposing deletion.

Notes:
 * Previously successful nomination for image lists (already present on commons): Tom (LT) (talk) 11:30, 4 July 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Note – I struck Template:Gray's Anatomy from the nomination because templates are discussed at WP:TFD. North America1000 08:12, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Since the template is entirely dependent on the existence of the articles being discussed here, I suggest that the template be included in this discussion, and then deleted or kept per the principle of “well, duh.” —67.14.236.50 (talk) 23:01, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I just added a flag on to List of subjects in Gray's Anatomy: VIII. The Lymphatic system as it was not tagged for deletion.  Closer may consider giving at least an additional week from now to ensure a fair discussion for VIII. The Lymphatic system.96.52.0.249 (talk) 01:53, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Strong delete: legacy unencyclopedic content, violates WP:INDISCRIMINATE. —67.14.236.50 (talk) 23:05, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
