Maps from 1700s A.D.[edit]

Delete. Not an article, and never will be. This was created as just a place to display images that couldn't be fitted into Liancourt Rocks. Of course deleting this page does not mean deleting the images, so they can be added to any relevant articles. Mark ¹ 03:23, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Delete unencyclopedic. —Sesel wa 04:34, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 06:35, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This is a mere picture gallery. Delete, if this causes any images to become orphans they should be transwikied to the commons. Mgm|^(talk) 08:12, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep picture galleries related to articles or transwiki to commons. These are all old enough to be public domain. --SPUI (talk) 13:01, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Same maps and more also seem to be on the Maps of Korea from 1600 - 1800 page. It'd be good to keep them somewhere, I think. — RJH 16:36, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete. All these maps were already in Maps of Korea when Jongbhak created this article. Possibly just finger trouble by the author. -- RHaworth 17:33, 2005 Apr 5 (UTC)
Delete, let's not create galleries when they're not needed. Rick K 20:25, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Picture galleries are at least as useful and worthwhile as articles on obscure schools. Denni☯ 00:27, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
- Comment: "Collections of photographs" are explicitly listed in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Rossami (talk) 06:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete per Rossami. Radiant _* 10:09, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
