Removed photo of "the pill"

This article is specifically about the obsolete pharmaceutical dosage form which predated tablets and capsules. A picture of "the pill" (i.e. contraceptive tablets) is not the right illustration. --Slashme (talk) 22:30, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

@McGeddon:, @Johnbod: et al; BE IT PROPOSED that the article Pill be considered for a merger with the Tablet article. The reasons are that the Pill article lacks enough substance to have merit as a verifiable article and that its relationship with Tablet is so similar that the Pill article should instead have its own section. Indeed, this will also clear up ambiguity over the image and image caption of pills on the Tablet article which has roused the attention of various contributors.

Support, assuming you mean Pill (pharmacy) - Pill is the disambiguation page. The only paragraph that doesn't really fit here is the one about the radio transmitter pills, but it doesn't belong there either. --McGeddon (talk) 16:09, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The Pill (pharmacy) article is so short that it can easily be integrated into the Tablet (pharmacy) article. Not only that, but the former article has content which is offtopic and irrelevant. In including the said article herein we can also justify and end the quarrel surrounding the contraceptive tablets, which are in fact such because pills are no longer produced. Offtopic: The Pill as slang for contraceptive tablet has dated usage and is probably discriminated based on usage by older generations. Vormeph (talk) 17:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
