[edit] Cover Art
Cover art images should not be used in this list as they are only being used for decorative purposes and this violates Wikipedia fair use policy, please see here (specifically point 8). Timkovski 22:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
- I question your decision. Are these really decorative? I see it as informative as it presents more information and therefore better benefits the end user. The images aren't borders or decorations. They are 100% related to the game and more informs the user about the game. Zomic_13 15:43, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have to agree, they are not just for decorative reasons. TJ Spyke 22:26, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- This has been debated many times, for example in List of Final Fantasy titles which is a featured list. Timkovski 23:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
- The main complaint about that list is that it is plain, uninteresting, and boring to read because there are no informative pictures added to the article. Simply adding the box arts or logos not only makes it more interesting to read, but provides more information about the game. The box arts/logos are not decorations and it is a disservice to all readers if you remove them. Zomic_13 13:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that it would be more eye-pleasing to have the box art on the list, but that's not the point, it's clearly against wikipedia's fair-use policies and this has been demonstrated in the past. The argument that it makes the article more informative is weak at best, the games are easily recognisable by name and adding a small thumbnail of the cover art does little to improve that. The images are for decoration only on what is fairly pointless article. Timkovski 13:54, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

- Take a look at List of The Simpsons episodes, it has box arts (of the DVD seasons) which could be considered decorative and is a Featured List. So I think it's OK. TJ Spyke 21:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
