The result of the discussion was tagged historical - functionally, it's difficult to accept a "it's not needed as a record" when people say "hey, I need that as a record". Wily D 09:18, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
Delete. Serves no purpose for the project, no longer used, and difficult for readers to use. It also contained a lot of red linked file names indicating that it is difficult to maintain and not true to the page name. -- Alan Liefting ( talk - contribs) 21:48, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Comment - My first reaction is to Mark as historic, but the page itself doen't show anything that might be of historic value. Is there anything historic inn the edit history? -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 11:13, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Tag as historical, these requests were fulfilled but probably deleted later due to stricter image tagging policies. The page's history contains 121 edits and quite a few pages link to it. Graham 87 15:27, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Compiled 2003-2009. Probably less interesting than my collected shopping lists of the same period. -- Klein zach 05:51, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
- Delete or can tag historical if that's an option. I vaguely remember starting this, back when Wikipedia wasn't all about finding stuff to delete! There used to be a page of requested articles, and I believe a page that you'd transfer them onto when the article had been made. I thought it'd be good to have one about one for requested images too. It was in the days before everyone had access to a good quality digital camera, and there were still pretty mundane things that no-one had taken a photo of. I guess the red links remind us of how Wikipedia has changed.

- Indeed, the place for completed requested articles was Wikipedia:Requested articles deemed complete, which is now a redirect to Wikipedia:Requested articles. I would have no objection to the subject of this MFD being analogously redirected to Wikipedia:Requested pictures. Graham 87 10:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
