I'm sorry I found a similar guideline was already mentioned in WCAG 2.0.

WCAG 2.0 Guideline 3.1 L3 SC
<quote>
Alternative representations: summaries, paraphrases, examples, illustrations, and symbolic languages 

Adding non-text content to the site for key pages or sections specifically to make the site more understandable by users who cannot understand the text only version of the site. </quote>
