I was thinking of writing a "How to pick a good image" page.

Yeah, that's a good way to put it without going too far into the weeds.

Does everybody think it's ready to launch?

More or less. I can see a few tweaks I'd like to make:

• The "As a good title follows the guidelines 'Clear, concise, witty' with clarity being the most important, so too do images" doesn't flow for me; the syntax is a bit awkward. I'd prefer "Just like a good title, a good page image is..."
• Still needs a note about official promotional artwork. And since cast pictures are often official art, that should be folded in somehow.
• One of the bullets in the "Tropes" section talks about speech bubbles and points to Motion Blur, whose image has no speech bubbles.

Motion Blur is a problem, I can look at it though.

For some reason, Motion Blur and Wall of Text were referenced as examples, rather than Motion Blur being a reason that comics are more common.

Launched to the mainspace. Congratulations we now have a newbie guide to how the image selection is done. How To Pick A Good Image.

Good work. Locking up the thread.
