Forum:Deletion of Appearance sections

I have noticed that many pages use Appearance sections, sections that describe how a character looks. I, for one, think it's ridiculous to have them, as we can use pictures to describe a character's appearance. Using text to describe a character's appearance is unnecessary repeated information if there is already a picture. A blatant example of unnecessary repetition is the Stanley article in which the Appearance section states that Stanley is a watermelon, which had already been made clear. It's been said that these sections originated as a guide to show how a recurring character's appearance changes throughout the episodes, and they started spreading around to other non-recurring characters' pages in an effort to achieve uniformity. Here is my proposal:

Get rid of appearance sections entirely for non-recurring character articles (that have pictures) to prevent redundancy, and for recurring characters such as Jake and Princess Bubblegum with occasionally differing appearances, either:
 * 1) Have the appearance section be just a slideshow, with no text describing how they look.
 * 2) Leave everything up to the galleries and get rid of the appearance sections for them, too.

Please vote Support if you think my proposal should be done. Please vote Oppose if you think everything should stay as is, with most character articles having Appearance sections.
