Request for comments on image gallery of journal covers

Does this image gallery of academic journal covers adhere to Wikipedia:Image use policy? -- Oa01 (talk) 11:52, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
- No. Far as I can see, this is just an eclectic selection of covers. Why these and not others? Of course, an exhaustive collection of all covers of all open access journals would be even less appropriate. See also WP:NOTGALLERY. Fails WP:IG ("illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images"). I also note that two of the three images in the current gallery don't have articles here and given that neither is included in any selective databases and therefore fail WP:NJournals (not to mention WP:GNG), articles will not likely be created any time soon. ---Randykitty (talk) 12:26, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

The covers don't add anything substantial to the article and they don't seem to meet the contextual significance criterion of WP:FAIRUSE. They shouldn't be in the article. CapitalSasha ~ talk 04:31, 22 May 2018 (UTC)Sorry, now that it has been pointed out to me I realize that the images are not fair-use images so that policy doesn't apply. I still think they add nothing substantial to the article and should be removed. CapitalSasha ~ talk 18:33, 31 May 2018 (UTC) - Yes. The three images I see there today aren't "fair use" images, they're on Commons, with appropriate licenses, so WP:FAIRUSE doesn't apply. Maproom (talk) 07:53, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Fairuse is fine perhaps, but the gallery is completely eclectic and doesn't really serve any encyclopedic purpose. --Randykitty (talk) 08:02, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, the images in the gallery are freely licensed, so they are compliant with the Free licenses section of the Wikipedia:Image use policy. Diego (talk) 07:48, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- And is it encyclopedic to show a bunch of more or less randomly selected journal covers? --Randykitty (talk) 07:49, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- That's not the question asked in the RfC. To keep this discussion focused, that would be best discussed at another thread. Diego (talk) 07:53, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:Image use policy, the images are appropriately licensed for use on Wikipedia, so that aspect is fine. According to the WP:IG subsection of that policy, galleries should not be indiscriminate collections of images. I don't see any good inclusion criteria for this gallery. Why only journal covers? Are there not examples of open access images, book and source code in Italy? What would the inclusion criteria be? I understand the desire to provide images and concrete examples of such resources. But based on the WP:IG policy, I would recommend to get rid of the gallery here and host it on Wikimedia commons, which is made for such collections of images. --Mark viking (talk) 17:19, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- I just don't see the point. They don't add anything to the article. So, can we have that? For freely-licensed images, yes. Should we? No. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 17:39, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
- Comment Given the repeated attempts of Oa01 to remove the RfC template of this discussion (and opening another one just below as if this one has concluded that such galleries are fine), I have posted a request for closure at Wikipedia:RfCl. --Randykitty (talk) 19:57, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia's Manual of Style for choosing illustrations, are these images pertinent to this article? -- Oa01 (talk) 08:10, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
- ????? You're already opening yet another RfC, even though the previous one has not concluded yet? (And at this point is trending against inclusion of any gallery, so the question of which images to include becomes moot). --Randykitty (talk) 09:28, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
