I am obviously against deleting the main namespace on Commons. It has many useful uses. Please see for example for a chronological classification of data, which is not possible with a category: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mohandas_K._Gandhi
You have seriously misunderstood my request. I am sorry that I was not more clear.
I think galleries are useful. I do not think they should be deleted. Instead, I think we should make a new namespace called "gallery" and move all the galleries there.
Well I understand, but I am not sure what is the benefit expected here with the deletion of many pages from main namespace, and I don't see how it will be achieved.
I think that doing this will prevent confusion.
After we have done that there should be nothing left in the main ns except tests and garbage which we can delete.
Also other namespaces have also a bad referencement.
Can you explain this for me? I do not understand.
Commons is generally very badly referenced. I think this is mainly because of the category system (maybe developers could give more hints here). For "Mohandas Gandhi" in Google Images, you won't find any images directly from Commons. That's very surprising seeing that Commons is now the biggest source of free (as in beer) images of Gandhi.
