Image necessary?

Title, no one really needs to see a boston terrier for comparison as people know what a boston terrier looks like. Also, it is indicated in the description of the item

IDK, maybe not. If I read in the lead that it is a Boston Terrier, I wouldn't question it. If I didn't know what a Boston Terrier is (honestly I probably wouldn't) or if I did question it, the link is right there. BUT, it is possible that someone challenged as speculation whether it is a Boston Terrier ( it does happen ) and the image was added to prove the points.
Check the history to see if that happened.

I don't think it's necessary, and you two have said everything: people know what a boston terrier looks like and, for the few who don't, there's a Wikipedia link. We don't need reference images for every single little thing. - BrazilianNut (talk) 00:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
Not to mention that the image on the Gallery section was literally taken from the same article linked on the item's summary. User Gabrielwoj Signature Icon.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 1.pngUser Gabrielwoj Signature 2.png - User Gabrielwoj Signature 3.png 02:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
So, delete? · Ashe (talk) 17:44, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
Personally I'd be in favour of keeping the image, it's handy to have 2 images directly next to each other to compare, not everyone knows what a boston terrier is + it already exists anyways and there isn't much harm in keeping it. I, for example, would need to google what a boston terrier looks like because I've never had a dog (So I wouldn't have to choose a type of dog to own) nor have I ever been interested in what kind of dogs there are. Just my 2 cents on it.

Maybe I am not much help here, as I would go with whichever consensus. I have seen many, many Boston Terriers in Kansas, but never was interested enough to bother to learn the breed's name (even if I may or may not have lived in a place originally named Boston, Kansas, though it wasn't Kansas yet). The main point is that the breed is a tiny dog tied to a tiny person from Boston, Mass.
The link in the lead is absolutely correct and superior to mentioning the matter in Trivia. My immediate impression of the present gallery this that it is usefull even if it is not strictly necessary. I would also say that the selected image works well because of the posture (but could be more closely cropped). On the other paw(s) the remotely interested reader may have already looked at the WP link. And I don't know that we have a relevant policy.
