Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gallery of Sistine Chapel ceiling (2nd nomination)
This is an invaluable art historical resource, a legitimate expansion of this aspect of Sistine Chapel Ceiling per . It is not merely a collection of images but a well-constructed article with commentary. Of necessity it incorporates many images. Images are another (and in this case highly desirable) way of communicating information. If, instead of the images, each one was replaced by text describing it as fully and closely as possible, there would be no notion of deleting the article. It is obviously far better to show the image than attempt the (impossible and ludicrous) description of it in words. There seems to be a widespread devaluation of the image in favour of text on wikipedia. There needs to be a rethink of this attitude
