**I haven't chimed in because I don't believe there is any real policy governing the number of images in articles, despite what some have tried to assert in this discussion. My opinion is that multiple pictures is fine and often enhances the article (as long as the article is of sufficient length that the pictures don't overwhelm). However, I think it's very possible to go overboard and add to many pictures - either pictures of ancillary figures or multiple pictures that convey the same thing. The first version had too many pictures IMO, it was distracting. The current version (time stamped 4:33 on 7/10) looks fine to me.

I think the current version is good enough. I thought the version linked at the top of this section was acceptable. With that version, removing 4-5 pictures and some of the excessive information would make that good enough. I think it isn't a big deal and this is being made out to be a big deal when it isn't. That happens a lot. I also think some of the arguments are wrong, such as the "readability" argument. How is it unreadable if you're reading it? With 3 pictures across the screen, yeah maybe, but that's solved easily without a fuss. I think it looks awkward, not unreadable. Every version of the page I have seen (so every time I've looked at it) looks awkward. Just wanted to say something. —[[User:DangerousJXD|DangerousJXD]] ([[User talk:DangerousJXD|talk]]) 23:23, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

*{{u|JesseRafe}}, you keep reverting to a 6 high school picture version as if you have some policy based reason to do so. There is consensus that 15 high school pictures was too much. I assert 8 pictures is an acceptable compromise. {{u|Epeefleche}} has asserted that he did not have a problem with the 15 picture count. {{u|Rikster2}} supported my proposed 8 pictures. {{u|DangerousJXD}} has states support of anything from 6 to 10 or 11. {{u|Handpolk}} has remained silent on my contention that 8 is better and more appropriate than 6, possibly because of my overly snarky presentation of my contention. The difference between my 8-picture version and your 6-picture version is [[:File:20120919 Jahlil Okafor.JPG]] and [[:File:20140221 Cliff Alexander and Jahlil Okafor.JPG]]. The former has been widely discussed. {{u|Editorofthewiki}} has stated that "I have nothing against the image per se.", noting that he would even accept it as the main image of the page. {{u|Handpolk}} has noted that it "would probably make a decent addition to the article". These are the people who strongly support your paring down the article. Rikster2 supports my 8-picture version with that image in. Epeefleche supports my 15-picture version with that image in. There is no support here to remove [[:File:20120919 Jahlil Okafor.JPG]]. There has not been explicit discussion regarding [[:File:20140221 Cliff Alexander and Jahlil Okafor.JPG]], but dispite their different current trajectories, the image has historic importance to his biographical sketch and represents a high school basketball game that was the lead story on SportsCenter. I am reverting until you are willing to come here convince us otherwise.--[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|T]] / [[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|C]] / [[WP:FOUR]] / [[WP:CHICAGO]] / [[WP:WAWARD]])</small> 17:19, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
