Does Not Illustrate: Quotes.Beneath The Mask

I'm opening this thread not just to discuss the above page, but several quotes page with a picture:

The first issue at hand here is that they have all been added by the same troper, who have since been banned for spamming. Other pictures that he added have been removed since then, but those were forgotten.

The second issue is whether or not there is an agreement that Quotes pages, as a general rule, shouldn't have illustrations, since those are very likely to fall into the "no better than a quote" category, evidently, which is usually ground enough to dismiss a picture.

Yeah, those all need to be burned. I'm completely down with making Quotes pages "no pic" territory, but I dunno if I'm down for finding every one of them and tagging them thusly, especially since I can't get on the wiki during the day much anymore.

I don't think we need to "tag" all the quotes subpages; the fact that pictures are very redundant for them should be evident for most people.

The Image Source pages don't mention any other with pictures than those six above.

I really can't think of a reason why we'd want to illustrate a trope subpage. Or how to prevent quotes disguised as page images from popping up on such pages, which is so ironic and self-defeating it makes my head spin.

No, I think we can close this. Anyone else?
