An image of Earl Roberts, originally mistaken for Lord Kitchener

[Unindent] Let's review. I'm just going to look at WWI and WWII, since I don't think it's surprising or notable that, say, a lot of theatrical shows are illustrated with a poster for that show.

WWI: All the featured posters illustrate one or more articles in a strong way:

  1. We have various ones that go in articles on the history of some military branch or country (File:Find_the_range_of_your_patriotism2.jpg, File:National_Fund_for_Welsh_Troops2.jpg, File:Canada_WWI_Victory_Bonds2.jpg/File:Canada_WWI_l'Emprunt_de_la_Victoire2.jpg, File:Trumpetcallsa.jpg, File:WWINavyYeoman1.jpg, File:Yiddish_WWI_poster2.jpg).
  2. Aspects of the war: War savings stamps (File:Joan_of_Arc_WWI_lithograph2.jpg); Australian Red Cross (File:RedCrossNursen.jpg); and, of course, one of the most famous depictions of Uncle Sam (File:Unclesamwantyou.jpg)

I have one more in the queue, which illustrates the artist's work, and the U-boat campaign File:William Allen Rogers - Only the Navy Can Stop This (WWI U.S. Navy recruitment poster).jpg


WWII:

All the WWII images have as their main article ones that require to be illustrated by a poster: Nazi propaganda American propaganda during World War II, Rosie the Riveter, and Keep Calm and Carry On all have an FP.

Now, compare Earl Roberts. Unlike the other articles here, our article on the man is packed with images, and has no text at all about anything related to propaganda involving him. And I hardly think it's worth cutting out a FP-level copy of a John Singer Sergeant painting to make room for this. Adam Cuerden (talk) 00:57, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with Adam. Further, there shouldn't be a lower EV requirement for posters- if it seems there is, it's possible some posters were promoted when they should not have been. J Milburn (talk) 18:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That was what I was getting at, though apparently not too clearly: That there seems to be a double standard for poster EV and that we may have been a little lax in those promotions. Again, just exploring options and it's looking like we're moving towards a consensus to delist. Cowtowner (talk) 18:54, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
