Moved from Images for deletion

 * File:SevenVision.jpg: Collage images (and image collage) make sense if some object hasn't been seen on screen in its entirety, but we typically don't do collages of different scenes. This image can probably be used in one place only, the episode summary. It wouldn't make much sense in any other context, and could be replaced by two separate thumbnails, if necessary at all, in that case. -- Cid Highwind 20:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Please tell me where this policy is written so I may read it. I made this collage specifically for the summary, for the context of the narration. There are a lot of images that, in terms of context, are specifically for an episode summary; so what's the problem? I will change it if this is insisted on, but I think that this is just nit-picking. Also, this is not a collage of two different scenes, but of two different screencaps pertaining to the same scene: Seven's vision of herself as a Borg drone again. These two screencaps are integral to that scene; if you watch the scene, they follow each other; the second follows the first immediately. This is why I collaged them. To understand the scene, and to illustrate the naration of that scene, they have to go together.– Orr6000 22:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * They don't have to go together. To make that point, you can just as well upload to separate pics and put them right next to each other. Turning them into a collage makes it impossible to use them on another page, say, on the Seven of Nine page. --Jörg 23:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, very well. I believe I have found a suitable alternative to the collage. See for yourself. . Sheesh...picky picky...– Orr6000 23:48, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

There's no "hard" policy about it - but, as Jörg explained, separate images make it easier to reuse them individually, while a combined collage can most often be used in just one context. The new way of using two images is much better, and I think this deletion nomination can be removed. For the future, though, please don't just remove the "deletion" message box from images while a discussion is still active here. That's just confusing. Also, please have a look at already existing images for a specific episode. I just noticed several duplicate or near-duplicate images you uploaded (see below). -- Cid Highwind 12:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
