Images not useful for P18 image of articles[edit]

Writing this here as a point of reference following a discussion in Hebrew Wikipedia.

For many biblical people, images from Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum are the only ones available, and thus are used as the image. However, those are:

  • Not based on any historical record.
  • had no influence on the later image on that person in the culture, and thus don't represent.
  • Don't look good.

Therefore it is not a good idea to use them. They are not better than nothing.

I would like to start removing all of them from the usage in Wikidata and point to this place as the rationale. Tzafrir (talk) 16:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
