Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of U.S. state license plates
I think the "#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files|Wiki is not a repository for images" argument is being misused here. There are a lot of "repositories for images" on Wikipedia (like Flags of the U.S. states, Seals of the U.S. states, etc.)  and these lists are certainly encyclopedic. Also, the #Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files|IS NOT policy states that wiki is not a "Collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles." (emphasis added) This article has as much text as the flag and seal articles (in fact it has more than the seal article). Sure, I would like to have each license explained (and I'll probably add that when I have time) but not having a thorough explanation is not a valid reason to delete. Now, the matter of copyright is an ENTIRELY different discussion and it should be handled elsewhere and on a per image basis
