No article needs an illustration, many reference works are devoid of illustrations. They are there to enhance the reader's experience within US copyright law and Wikipedia's concept of fair-use. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 17:06, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
By our common practice here, some articles do "need" imagery. It's commonly accepted, for instance, that biographies needs headshots, articles about music albuns need the album cover, articles about books need the book cover, articles mentioning controversial or award winning photographies need to show the photograph, articles about famous paintings need to show the painting. There are many others "rules", but surely not "articles that mention someone made the cover story of a magazine needs to show the cover image". --Damiens.rf 18:45, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
