This article in its intent and form is an image gallery contrary to WP:NOT. Specifically, point 4 which addresses articles which are a collection of images. All of the images are best displayed as part of the particle for which it illustrates. Whpq (talk) 13:34, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Assuming that all of the pictures are properly Commons material, this seems to be a useful gallery. It attempts to assemble a time line of various electronic displays, and illustrates each with a picture so that what they look like can be compared. A better title, like for instance timeline of electronic displays, might be chosen. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:09, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - A timeline article still would not need to be illustrated with every example of a display element listed as a wikilink to the appropriate article would still suffice. -- Whpq (talk) 14:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment On the other hand, a text-only timeline article would not allow for visual comparison about what each of these displays looked like. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:24, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, Retitle, and Improve, per Smerdis of Tlön. It also needs a little introduction so people can understand the concept. Northwestgnome (talk) 14:30, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
