RFC: Image Gallery

{{rfc}}

Should the article contain a gallery of images (as shown below) illustrating the history of radio tuners?

Reason for Image Gallery

These images show the evolution of Tuners from analog American tube tuners to solid state and digital Japanese tuners.

Reason against Image Gallery

WP:GALLERY is clear that these are generally undesirable but does make allowances. Gallery images must collectively add to the reader's understanding of the subject without causing unbalance to an article or section within an article while avoiding similar or repetitive images, unless a point of contrast or comparison is being made. The claimed demonstration of the evolution of tuners is not immediately evident looking at the gallery and accompanying captions. An effort to improve the gallery to address this ran up against concerns that the story is already told in the text and a smaller number of images is included conventionally and the gallery photos are superfluous.

Survey

Please state Yes or No with a brief statement. Please do not reply to the statements of other editors in this section. That is what the Discussion section is for.

  • No Images should only be included when they are encyclopedically valuable and paired with sourced text specifically connected to that image (eg., if there is an article paragraph about Heathkit AJ-20 tuners, it would probably be appropriate to include an image of said tuner). Although galleries can be appropriate in a few situations when each image is connected to a small amount of article text, large galleries consisting of images divorced of any relevant, sourced text are more suited for other Wikimedia projects.
