List of images in Gray's Anatomy: XII. Surface anatomy and Surface Markings

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Many of these galleries 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.

However, Wikipedia has now expanded beyond the point where these galleries are useful to readers. Readers would be better served by going to commons where there are a wider variety of images from more sources of more structures and many in higher quality. I think the reason that these were created in general was to help create articles and because commons did not have the widely accepted function in 2006 that it does not. Now that articles have been expanded I think these have fulfilled their purpose n We do not have "List of images in [source]" for any other groups of articles I can think of. As Wikipedia is not a gallery (WP:NOTGALLERY) and in view of what I've said, I'm proposing deletion. Tom (LT) (talk) 05:17, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Delete per nominator. While informative, this image index has no place in an encyclopedia, whether masquerading as an article, list, or whatever. Organizing the content at Commons, Wikibooks and/or Wikiversity is more appropriate.--Animalparty-- (talk) 21:18, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
