Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:Valued pictures (3rd nomination)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the miscellaneous page below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the page's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the discussion was shut down the Valued Pictures process. The consensus of this discussion is that while the project started as a good idea, and there is indeed merit to a image recognition process not as exclusive as Wikipedia:Featured pictures, the fundamental flaws which define this project prevent it from being useful to Wikipedia. There is no consensus that the amount of participants is necessarily a problem, or that an image recognition process which are a step below FP is inherently a bad idea. For the time being, however, this particular image recognition process is going to be shut down. Should a new one take its place, it has to be based on some concrete ideas and philosophies so that it can be of value to Wikipedia. Anything which is just a carbon copy of Valued Pictures will get shut down again (if not CSD G4-deleted). As for the pages themselves, I will be preserving their histories by redirecting them to the main project page, which will be marked as historical. harej 04:01, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
