Unsurprisingly, my view is -
- Keep 1.1
- Cut all the others - as they're on the other page as well, do we even need to add them to image links?
- To stop this happening again, add a comment that extra images shouldn't be added without revisiting Image Pickin'
Remove all but 1.1 on Characters.Marvel Comics Carnage. Also, I find it strange that Characters.Carnage Cletus Kasady has six images but none of them show his human face.

Keet cleanupAgreed. I'm going to try to find a decent one of him 'unmasked' before I bring that to a new thread!
1.1, move the others to an Image Links page
Given they're all on Carnage - Cletus Kasady as well, I'd suggest that if they go on an Image Links page it's for that one, his own character-specific page, not the general Carnage one.
(Also, bump)

Forgot to vote to move the rest for image links page

This is at the clocking point. I've gone ahead and pulled the four caption images on the folder on Characters.Marvel Comics Carnage and tagged:
~Mrph1 , was the motion also to remove these from Characters.Carnage Cletus Kasady?
If it doesn't need a separate thread, absolutely. Note that there's a fifth one on that page which isn't duplicated here.
As that wasn't in scope for this thread, I assume it stays for a bit longer?
(None of the Cletus page images actually show his face out of costume, and there's Discussion page chat about finding one, so we can tackle that final image if/when that comes to Image Pickin')
I've been searching for a decent image of Cletus sans symbiote, and these are the best I could find:
As an aside, I was the one who added the multiple images (which was done when Cletus didn't have a character page of his own), wanting to show the character's various forms and not realizing there would be an issue given that other character pages have done the same (i.e. Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach) and no-one's said anything.

Character pages are so popular that we are basically stuck playing whack-a-mole whenever a new trend comes on (when to split? do they get YMMV subpages? and here: how many images is too many?)...but basically yes, "be a wikia gallery of every look ever" is not the goal of the character page, it's Image Links if anything. Representative images take priority.
OK, since that's popped up, pull the other costume variants and put 11.1 on Characters.Carnage Cletus Kasady.
One in costume + that one should be sufficient for the Cletus page, and I do like that one of him unmasked.
I see. I guess Ichigo's page will be up on the chopping block sooner or later, then, though I personally like having the different forms showcased.
Re. the Carnage in costume look, I've long felt the original one doesn't exactly give a clear look at him since he's crawling down a wall. How's this one look?
(Could be cropped to just focus on his upper body.)

Unstarred the thread and changed the title.
Edited the first post in light of the changes - I've added the sixth Cletus image, for completeness.
My vote's to cut back to one costume image - either 1.1 or Arawn's 14 proposal, no strong preference, then add the 18 unmasked image as a second pic
(Edited again in light of the new unmasked image)

Cropped it. Is this better?

Here's a good image of Cleus without the symbiote while we're at it.
"Money is the goddamn plan! Have some faith, y'all!"The prison bars kinda obscure him, don't they?
We can still see his face fine. Maybe crop and enlarge?
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsFair, though the image I posted up above — which is from the same comic — has an unobstructed view of his face.
Hooked a crowner
So if the other forms of Cletus Kasady are being removed, should a ImageLinks.Carnage Kletus Kasady, ImageLinks.Marvel Comics Carnage, or ImageLinks.Carnage be created with the extra ones moved there? I don’t want to delete all the various forms seeing as they are all varied.
It's gonna be fun on the bun!Image Links.Carnage would work best, I think.
Edit: added the extra pic since we're now looking at the Cletus page.
Another comic Characters page with multiple images that may not be justified. This page covers the various incarnations of the Marvel Comics villain Carnage.
Under "Carnage's Main Hosts", we have a folder for the original version of the villain, Cletus Kasady - which is just a (relatively) brief introduction plus a link to his own page, Characters.Carnage Cletus Kasady, for more information.
None of Cletus's tropes are even listed on this page, it's just signposting.
But we still have five different images for him:
1.1 Carnage
And then, behind labelnotes,
1.2 Venomized Carnage
1.3 Poison Carnage
1.4 Dark Carnage
1.5 Devil Carnage
All five are also on his own Characters page - which has a sixth version ('Dragon Carnage') as well.
1.6 Dragon Carnage
