Nonfree images

This article has too many nonfree images. I think we should cut it down to one example of Escher's work. Which of the images is the best for this purpose? — Carl (CBM · talk) 03:37, 12 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Merge

The content of this article would be more meaningful, and understandable, if merged with Tessellation. 173.52.187.133 (talk) 15:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

I can see the value in linking the two, but why merge an arts article with a geometry article? Totnesmartin (talk) 16:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Escher is mentioned in the intro and elsewhere in the Tessellation article, and the book Regular Division of the Plane deals with that aspect of Escher's work. The option would be to expand the present article. It is a good book, but I am not sure an article about the book can be enough to stand on its own. 173.52.187.133 (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
By the way, it had been my intention to create an article on tessellations in the visual arts. That would include Escher, some beautiful Islamic art, some knot pattern, etc. I had a lot of sources on the subject, but am not sure they are still saved. There are many images in Wikimedia Commons that could be used. Perhaps someone else will create that article. If so, Regular Division of the Plane would fit into it perfectly. 173.52.187.133 (talk) 17:27, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
Well the pictures would be excellent illustrations, but I still see no case for a merge. A merge would be appropriate if Regular Division of the Plane was solely notable as an example of tessellation, but that isn't so - it's notable in its own right as a work of art.

"Case"? Who said anything about a case? This is not an AfD. If you look at the tag it says "suggestion". You, and I hope others, can think about the suggestion, and then decide. 173.52.187.133 (talk) 20:58, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
It's just an expression, don't sweat it. Totnesmartin (talk) 23:13, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
