Do our subpages need page images?

Most of our subpages under "Examples of Ghibli Hills are listed on these subpages" have the {{Needs Image}} template. I don't think that this is needed at all; the image on the trope page itself illustrates the concept quite nicely. Sure, it's easy to find ten results from Wikimedia Commons for 'green hills', but I don't think that will be necessary when our readers can just look at the one on the main article.

Proposal: Remove the 'needs image' template from all of the subpages. As usual, it's up to the three majority vote and I'll allow 48 hours for feedback and voting.

Well, I'm the one who put that template on the pages, so I think they should have images...

Our longer pages need something to break up the Wall of Text, IMHO.

Well, Wikimedia Commons saves the day! I have found https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tortuous_dirt_road_in_wet_paddy_fields_and_green_hills_in_Vang_Vieng,_Laos.jpg

which represents the trope quite nicely (especially in the background), and I quite like. There's more images, but they start to lose variety after a while.

I don't mind if we Take the Third Option and just leave them as is. I don't like the needs image template, I don't think anyone does, but if someone in the future can do something better than us, then let them do so. Still, I would like to see the image I picked getting used.

Well, one down. I went to the trope namer themselves and found an image for the Anime and Manga section of the page. Can you please check that I've entered the copyright information correctly, as it's from a film instead of a website?

EDIT: the file is at File:Kiki's delivery service ghibli hills.png

The copyright information looks good to me. Thanks for asking!

I changed my mind and I'm retracting my proposal. Previously I was thinking of grabbing ten real life photos from Wikimedia Commons. I now realised that the page could be a whole lot better if we grab the images from the medium discussed in question. Thanks for helping me see that!
