: Images belong in the adaptation section. There have been numerous adaptations of the Lord of the Rings, none take precedence, none are the definitive version. There is also the issue of fair use, the images are not free and need to be discussed in the article to pass. Being nearer to the section they are discussed in helps to keep them fair use. Consensus has been for no image to appear in the info box. And death is not controversial in the least. Tolkien is clear that Gandalf died, and through this sacrifice earned the right to be sent back with greater powers.

Image & lede
1. Why was the image removed from the infobox? Now, the article has no thumbnail.
2. "Death" is unverified and too controversial. What's wrong with my version? Mithrandir the Grey (talk) 21:48, 11 August 2018 (UTC)

Gandalf really ‘died’, and was changed: for that seems to me the only real cheating, to represent anything that can be called ‘death’ as making no difference. ‘I am G. the White, who has returned from death’. Probably he should rather have said to Wormtongue: ‘I have not passed through death (not ‘fire and flood’) to bandy crooked words with a serving-man’.
