Maps of Korea
Yes, I'm nominating this for VfD again. Yes, it's less than a day since the old VfD closed. However, circumstances have changed significantly since then. The images on this gallery page have been moved to Commons, with a gallery page set up there: Historical Maps of Korea. This page and the images that are on it are now redundant, as well as being an example of WP:NOT, and should be deleted.

The results of the old VfD were 10 (or 11) in favor of "transwiki to Commons and delete", with five (or six) in favor of "keep". The closing admin interpreted that as a decision to keep the article. The previous discussion is archived at Votes for deletion/Maps of Korea/Old. --Carnildo 07:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, Wikipedia is not an image gallery, but I should say that User:SimonP was right in closing the debate as a "no consensus"-keep, and the anon vote was properly counted. Sjakkalle 13:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Pure image galleries belong on commons. Thue | talk 21:58, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, already in commons. Megan1967 04:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect to commons gallery. Tan 13:55, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keeping is pointless, and interwiki redirects don't work. --Carnildo 06:06, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, Wikicommons, in my uderstanding, was not set up to be a substitute for galleries. It was set up so that the different wikimedia projects could all use images without the having to upload the image to each of the projects.  Wikicommons is not English Wikipedia and directing readers away from Wikipedia has a high potential for confusing casual readers who might not be aware that they have left wikipedia.  There is not yet a consesus on Commons wether or they wil use image galleries or categories to organize the images there, and it may happen that they will stop having galleries.  Finally wikicommons is a multilingual project and would be a disservice to send anglophone readers to pages such as this. It is important to note that, as commons matures, more and more pages will becom multilingual. Dsmdgold 22:58, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is explicitly not an image gallery. And if they discard the gallery pages, then it's a simple matter to replace the link Historical Maps of Korea with commons:Category:Maps of Korea. --Carnildo 04:07, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete.  The important point is that the images are available in the commons; whether they are displayed in a gallery is irrelevant. Mark1 02:13, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Useful page.--Heathcliff 13:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
