Talk:Wild Thymes on the 22 (illustration)

Deletion
This page should not exist --it is already covered sufficiently on the Wild Thymes on the 22 (anthology) page, which is pretty evidently demonstrated by the fact that the only content on this page is explaining that it's its own story and thus deserves a page rather than actually describing the "story" it purports to reflect. I once again want to point to the closing statement that allowed for illustrations to get pages:
 * While some things we already have pages on as "comic almost-stories", and things like graphics and maps, can definitely be validated on this basis, some degree of caution is warranted regarding the broader class of illustrations. Some illustrations are genuine works of fiction — some even functionally "tell a story" — but we shouldn't start creating bespoke source page on every single untitled picture of the Doctor printed in DWM. As a rule of thumb, illustrations with titles, or otherwise treated as their own items in whatever publication runs them (e.g. their own entry in the Table of Contents), can safely have pages created about them, but untitled ones should probably require their own case-by-case discussion.

An illustration of all of the characters from a book (and Janice) posing outside of a building is not a discrete piece of fiction. As the closing post said, “we shouldn't start creating bespoke source page on every single untitled picture of the Doctor printed”. At bare minimum, this should not be valid, but I am entirely convinced that the page's existence is unnecessary as well. NoNotTheMemes ☎  15:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This is an interesting one, for me; while it may not deserve a page, I do very much feel like it genuinely portrays a work of fiction. Iris is sitting in a cafe in France while writing in books about herself, while famous people she knows all watch her. It's all very plausible that this could happen to Iris, heck, she essentially does what with all the appearances of Paul Magrs (in-universe) and Obverse Books (in-universe); this sort of event essentially happened in Party Fears Two where she invited lots of her old friends and nearly everyone from Obverse Books to a party in Las Vegas.
 * If this had been released on Paul Magrs's blog, I don't feel covering this by itself would be an issue? I dunno. But it ain't clear cut and I feel discussion is warranted. 16:16, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * We should definitely cover this, though whether it deserves its own page is another matter entirely. Aquanafrahudy  📢  16:34, 7 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Anthology pages are usually pretty bare as it is. The place readers go to learn more about the anthology is the anthology page, so it seems pretty logical to talk about the cover of said anthology in the notes section of that page. If need be, I don't see why we can't cite it (or other covers in the same vein) as GRAPHIC: Wild Thymes on the 22 (anthology), citing the anthology page itself. With the new citation template we can even specify further details. That last point might need a forum discussion, however. Danochy ☎  03:53, 11 August 2023 (UTC)


 * The citation template won't currently work in this situation but I can see about making it work. Bongo50   ☎  18:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
