Forum:Images In Image Galleries

Okay, since I know a few people elsewhere have conflicted with this me before, I'd like to start this up. Now, here's the thing. The forum's to discuss whether images, that are not promotional images, should remain on the wiki if they don't do anything aside from sitting in the galleries. I'd like for people to vote on whether a gallery-only image should stay on the wiki. Support if it should go.

Image galleries are only to organize article images from the said article, allowing readers to be able to browse through the illustrated contents, in regards to the character/group/location. If the image is only going to end up in the gallery for the rest of its time on the wiki, or for a while at least, I don't see why it shouldn't be deleted. The only thing I believe do not need to have article use yet still remain in the galleries are the official promotional images. They provide a bit of insight and some relevant facts about the characters. Obviously, they won't have much purpose on articles aside from maybe trivia or profile images but that's just about it to me.
 * So, what you're saying is you want promotional images like this to stay while you want to have non-promotional images to be deleted? 17:55, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Random screenshots from the episodes or crops of the manga panels that are only in the galleries to look pretty, or just the ones that aren't in use anywhere on the wiki, yes.
 * Reason: Perfectly good images, I don't want to see them get deleted nor as a waste of an upload. Any screenshot from an episode or crops from the manga panel will serve as much use to the Wiki. I should inform the editors here that K Project Wiki has a total of 125.4K views. I'm sure the viewers are interested in seeing screenshots of the episodes/characters from the Anime/Manga.  19:37, October 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * I disagree to that, you said that a wiki isn't an image repository, you seem to contradict yourself and I think it will only clog up the image gallery. We took images from episodes to illustrate articles. I'm sure those 125.4K viewers understand that every image we take are copyrighted and should be used in a meaningful way rather than make a "museum" in this wiki.

 * Though my intended response would just be a lengthier version of the reply above, I think I can still give my own thoughts. For one thing, amusing video. :P Now, not all of the images on the wiki are necessarily good and/or necessary. Just because you or anyone that comes to visit the wiki likes to see images does not mean we have to upload massive amounts for no reason. A screenshot or crop that serves good use for the wiki will be put in articles. But our articles can only have so much written content on one particular thing so not every little thing is going to be added. Promotional images are a different matter. They are official images of the characters, occasionally with some sort of information on them. If an image doesn't get to stay on the wiki, then so be it. Move on. We're not trying to depict every single thing from the manga or anime.
