Discussion
Unless I misunderstand, there is not consensus to remove these images. There seems to be consensus that a new system should be come up with, but I don't think you can justify mass removing all the image links based on what I have read at the links you provided. If I missed something, please let me know. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Note this same task was previously proposed and withdrawn at Bots/Requests for approval/AmeliorationBot 2, and there does not seem to have been any additional discussion at the linked page since then. Anomie⚔ 17:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe there was also a more recent discussion as well (I remember because I participated in it) that also led to no consensus or consensus against removing them. They might be considered deprecated but deprecated does not mean removed as fast as possible. Mr.Z-man 17:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * HOLD These images are currently being discussed at IFD with the discussion suggesting that these may need to be deperecated, but not deleted. —  xaosflux  Talk 14:03, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As that IFD has been closed without a delete reasoning, you will need to show where consensus to do this task at all exists; without it there is no use for this bot. —  xaosflux  Talk 12:00, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm... there's no need for this bot - this request can be closed if you want. Den dodge  Talk Contribs 19:27, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
