Visual gallery of Adelidae

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Contested prod. This page is nothing but a collection of images, which violates WP:NOT. If it would be expanded to be truly an identification guide (which hasn't been done in its first year of existence), then it would still violate WP:NOT a how-to guide, and it would be at the wrong title anyway. The page as it stands is not an article and can (with its current title) never be an acceptable wikipedia page. Also nominated:
 * Visual gallery of Arctiidae
 * Visual gallery of Cerambycidae
 * Visual gallery of Crambidae
 * Visual gallery of Geometridae Fram (talk) 09:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
