Files for deletion

Files for deletion (FfD) is for listing images and other media files which are unneeded. Files that have been listed here for more than 7 days are eligible for deletion if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to deletion have been raised. To quote the non-free content criteria, "it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created — see burden of proof." For undeletion requests, first contact the administrator who deleted the file. If you are unable to resolve the issue with that administrator, the matter should be brought to deletion review.

If you have questions if something should be deleted, consider asking at Media Copyright Questions.

Examples of what you may request here

Obsolete - The file has been replaced by a better version.
Orphan - The file is not used on any pages in Wikipedia.
Unencyclopedic - The file doesn't seem likely to be useful in any Wikimedia project.
Low quality - The file is of an extremely low resolution, distorted, or has other physical image quality concerns.
Copyright violation - The file might be used in violation of copyright.
NFCC violation - The file is used under a claim of fair use but does not meet the requirements.

Search from deletion requests:

[edit] What not to list here

I. For speedy deletion candidates, do not use this page; instead use one of the speedy deletion templates. See the criteria for speedy deletion. These are: duplicates (where both files are on Wikipedia), thumbnails, broken files, non-existent files, non-commercial, "by permission" files and files which are not an image, sound file or video clip and have no encyclopedic use.

II. Files that have no source, or have an unknown copyright, or are unused or replaceable non-free, or are non-free without rationale can be marked so that they will be deleted after a week, and should not be listed on this page. Add one of the following to the file page:

{{subst:nsd}} if a file has no source indicated
{{subst:nld}} if a file has a source but no licensing information
{{subst:orfud}} if a file has a non-free copyright tag but isn't used in any articles
{{subst:rfu}} if a file has a non-free copyright tag but could be replaced by a free file
{{subst:dfu|reason}} if a file has a non-free copyright tag but the rationale isn't sufficient or is disputed
{{subst:frn}} if a file has no non-free use rationale

If the source or licensing information of an image marked as being freely licensed is disputed, please list the file on Possibly unfree files

III. Redundant or duplicate files do not have to be listed here. Please use

{{isd|Full name of file excluding the "File:" prefix}} for speedy deletion if the other file is on Wikipedia, not on Commons
{{now commons|File:NEW FILENAME}} if the file now exists on Commons, or {{now commons}} for files with the same name on Commons. (Don't nominate protected images, they are usually locally uploaded and protected since they are used in an interface message or in a highly used template, thus they are high-risk.)

IV. For blatant copyright infringements, use speedy deletion by tagging the file {{db-f9}}

V. Suspected copyright violations shouldn't be listed here.

If a file is listed as public domain or under a free license, but lacks verification of this (either by an OTRS ticket number or a notice on the source website), tag it as {{subst:npd}}.
For other suspected copyright infringements or licensing issues, use Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files.

VI. Files that are hosted on Wikimedia Commons cannot be deleted via this process. Please use the Commons deletion page instead.

VII. If a file is appropriately licensed and could be usable elsewhere, consider copying it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of listing it for deletion. Once copied to the Commons, it is eligible for speedy deletion per criteria 8 for files.

VIII. If you are the uploader of the image, tag it with {{db-author}}.

Instructions for listing files for deletion

To list a file:

1	Edit the file page. Add `{{ffd\|log=2012 February 12}}` to the file page.
2	Create its FfD subsection. Follow this edit link and list the file using `{{subst:ffd2\|File_name.ext\|Uploader= \|Reason= }} ~~~~` Leave the subject heading blank. If the file has been replaced by another file, name the file that replaced it in your reason for deletion. Refer below for a list of other common reasons. For listing additional files with the same reason, edit the first file section and use `{{subst:ffd2a\|File_name.ext\|Uploader= }}`
3	Give due notice. Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using `{{subst:fdw\|File_name.ext}}` Remember to replace "File_name.ext" with the name of the image or media For multiple images by the same user, use `{{subst:fdw-multi\|First_file.ext\|Second_file.ext\|Third_file.ext}} ~~~~` (can handle up to 26) If the image is in use, also consider adding `{{ifdc\|File_name.ext\|log=2012 February 12}}` to the caption(s), or adding a notice to the article talk pages.

State the reasons why the file should be deleted. Some common reasons are:

Obsolete - The file has been replaced by a better version. Indicate the new file name (often abbreviated OB)
Orphan - The file is not used on any pages in Wikipedia. (If the file is only available under "fair use", please use {{subst:orfud}} instead). Please consider moving "good" free licensed files to Commons rather than outright deleting them, other projects may find a use for them even if we have none; you can also apply {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}} . (often abbreviated OR, not to be confused with original research which generally doesn't apply to images)
Unencyclopedic - The file doesn't seem likely to be useful in this encyclopedia (or for any Wikimedia project). Images used on userpages should generally not be nominated on this basis alone unless the user is violating the Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not policy by using Wikipedia to host excessive amounts unencyclopedic material (most commonly private photos). (often abbreviated UE)
Low quality - The image is of an extremely low resolution, distorted, or has other physical image quality concerns. (often abbreviated LQ)
Copyright violation - The file might be used in violation of copyright. (often abbreviated CV)

These are not the only "valid" reasons to delete a file. Any properly explained reason can be used. The above list comprises the most common and uncontroversial ones.

Since abbreviated deletion reasons will not be familiar to most Wikipedians, especially newbies, please consider using full words. A few extra keystrokes now can save paragraphs of explanation to a panicked uploader wondering what's wrong with their image.

If you remove a file from an article, list the article from which you removed it so there can be community review of whether the file should be deleted. This is necessary because file pages do not remember the articles on which the file were previously used.

Administrator instructions

To force the server to update this page immediately, purge the cache.

[edit] Instructions for discussion participation

In responding to the deletion nomination, consider adding your post in the format
* '''View''' - Reasoning ... -- ~~~~
where "Delete", "Keep", "Comment", or something else may replace "View". In posting their reasoning, many editors use abbreviations and cite to the following:

Wikipedia:NFCC#1 - Free equivalent is/is not available
Wikipedia:NFCC#8 - Significance
Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2 - Unacceptable image use

Remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion. Wikipedia's primary method of determining consensus is through editing and discussion, not voting. Although editors occasionally use straw polls in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion. They should be used with caution, and are no more binding than any other consensus decision.

[edit] Instructions for closing discussions

Nominations should be processed for closing after being listed for 7 days following the steps here.

[edit] Old discussions

The following discussions are more than 7 days old and are pending processing by an administrator:

[edit] File:10.5.07CityCenterLobbyByLuigiNovi.JPG

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was:} SPEEDY DELETED, F8; see File:National Amusements City Center 15 Cinema De Lux - Movie Theater Lobby - White Plains, New York.jpg. postdlf (talk) 21:21, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Orphan, can't see use :Jay8g ^{Hi!- I am... -What I do...} _{WASH- BRIDGE- WPWA - MFIC- WPIM} 01:09, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Do you mean that you can't see any use other than the article that the image is in (National Amusements)? This is an image that was duplicated, and the duplicate is being used. If you had bothered to click on the link on the image, or looked at the uploader's history, you would have seen that. Other than that, how many other images of movie theater lobbys do we have? Why is this image being proposed for deletion? This image will be deleted locally under {{ncd}}, but that has nothing to do with the rationale for deletion. Please look at the images before nominating them; once an image is gone there is little chance of it coming back. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 11:00, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit] File:WikiProject SpongeBob logo.svg

Orphaned file. Not CC-Licensed. Possble Nickelodeon or Viacom's copyright violation. JJ98 (talk) 05:07, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This image is trademarked, not copyrighted. Text this short cannot be copyrighted, and we are free to use trademarks as we are offering information and not a competing service/product. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

The image isn't merely text; it definitely has a graphic aspect to it that is copyrightable (however marginally). postdlf (talk) 21:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Well, the SBSP WikiProject is a work group now, so this logo is basically unneeded anyway. Although I'm sad to see it go, it's just a needless trademark infringement as I see it. —Airhogs777 (complaints • evidence • alibi) @WikiShrek 00:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:JahshanJentzen02.jpg

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the media below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the media's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was: Delete; deleted as F10 by RHaworth (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights) AnomieBOT ⚡ 11:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

This is an award citation by National Association of Medical Examiners. Even though, the text of the letter may be free, I think, the logo of National Association of Medical Examiners is copyrighted. The user uses his user page as a resume. I don't see any encyclopedic value in this but I am not sure. All comments are welcome. Sumanch (talk) 07:29, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Massachusetts coat of arms.png

Duplicate of File:Coat of arms of Massachusetts.svg - redirect should be setup instead. Varnent (talk) 09:39, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Note: Template:WikiProject United States causes this file to be transcluded on thousands of talk pages. The template is protected, so if this file is deleted then an admin will need to update Template:WikiProject United States to point to the .svg version. --Andrew (User:90) (talk) 23:24, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Temporary placeholder image.jpg

Placeholder logo for an article about a website the does not appear to exist any more. We have better placeholder images; black text on white does not stand out on WP pages, so there this is not a good image for gauging page development. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:41, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Move to commons a different placeholder image if people choose it. 70.24.247.54 (talk) 07:53, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Vulpes vulpes - Common Image.jpg

It was uploaded with the strange text "Common Image", but the uploader also released it under a "self" license, so I'll WP:AGF. This is a very nice image, but the small size makes it undesirable compared to the many images we have at Commons. Not many are as well shot, but all are far larger, so ultimately offer more knowledge of the subject. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 10:46, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

insufficient rights release - we need an explicit release for any and all uses, including derivative uses and commercial uses by third parties. please follow up with the copyright holder to obtain a better consent statement. Calliopejen1 (talk) 06:56, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I thank editor Calliopejen1 for notifying my talk page regarding the newly declared status for this file. I attempted to secure at the time of upload the necessary permission. Below I am copying selected elements from previously posted documentation for the file. If indeed my previous actions do not satisfy Wikipedia's requirements, I will appreciate a more specific instruction detailing exactly what more is required.

In Wikipedia's entry for this file, you will find this text in the "AUTHOR" and "PERMISSION" sections: AUTHOR: Institute of General Semantics (http://www.generalsemantics.org). In an email to Phil Ardery dated 6 September 2011, current (2011) President of Board of Trustees of Institute of General Semantics, Martin H. Levinson, has released this file under Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 conditions. (More substantiation for this is on the Talk page for this file.) Phil Ardery edits in Wikipedia under the name Canhelp(talk) 17:29, 18 September 2011 (UTC). PERMISSION: Quotation from email sent by Levinson to Ardery: "...adapt on your own the diagram and include ... a citation directing to a resource bearing the original diagram."

In the context of an email conversation with Mr. Levinson prior to upload, I believe I reasonably construed his statements to me as constituting sufficient authorization according to CC BY-SA 3.0 -- "Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they endorse you or your use of the work)." Use of the file within the current Wikipedia article on General semantics is consistent with Mr. Levinson's instruction. My remarks in the "talk" page for the file, where I sought to give additional context supporting my claim that CC BY-SA 3.0 applies, include the following: In my initial communication to the copyright holder Institute of General Semantics, I addressed an email note to Mr. Martin H. Levinson, President of the IGS Board of Trustees. My words to Mr. Levinson: "...to look now at Wikipedia's statement of their requirements, you may do so by clicking this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries I'm prepared to boil down the instructions linked above in a formal request to you, to the IGS board, to the IGS attorney, or as you may direct."

Mr. Levinson chose to reply to my request with the informal consent quoted in the summary description uploaded with this file. If more verification is required, please let me know how you want me to proceed...."

Thank you for your consideration of the above, and I look forward to a next communication. Canhelp (talk) 17:12, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

CC-By-3.0 is a specific legal document, and someone must agree to that specific legal document for the tag to be applied to the image page. His permission never even refers to CC-by-3.0. I also note that nowhere in his permission does he grant permission for commercial use. Please follow the procedures at WP:CONSENT. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:45, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Helped greatly by the explicit guidance in Calliopejen1's remark above, I have re-contacted the copyright owner for the image which I had registered under license CC BY-SA 3.0 despite my failure to follow the procedures specified for a valid registration under this license. I apologize for taking the liberties I took. As soon as I hear back from the copyright holder, I will re-post to this page. Canhelp (talk) 02:48, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Martin H. Levinson, President of the Board of Trustees, Institute of General Semantics, has replied to my communication made 24 hours ago, telling me, "Given the formality of the process, I think it best you send your request to the IGS board and I will take it up at the next board meeting." Within the next few days, I will make that request. I will continue to post here all milestones in this process. Canhelp (talk) 03:06, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Not used for critical commentary so not valid for fair use. -mattbuck (Talk) 15:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

The image is used to show the comparison between the SP episode and the TOS episode on which it is based. Unless the complainant is suggesting that an OR essay is necessary to provide "critical commentary" the complain is baseless, and the low res image obviously in no way damages the copyright holder's work.

This should either be deleted as unnecessary and orphaned (because of File:10-Hryvnia-1994-front.png) or kept as fair use. Per {{PD-UA-exempt}}, it is not copyrighted in the source country, but since it was first published after 1989 (when the United States removed the copyright notice requirement), it might nevertheless be copyrighted in the United States. Special government provisions for copyrights do not necessarily apply internationally[1] and the United States does not apply the rule of the shorter term, so in my opinion the US copyright status on this work is unknown.

There are reservations on the deletion here, so it may be appropriate to go through a standard deletion request. After the reservations were formulated, commons:User:Sgsg listed a Shanghai publication from 1925. As far as I can see, this entered the public domain in China in 1976 (i.e. after 50 years). It is unlikely that this would have been published with a copyright notice and even more unlikely that the US copyright would have been renewed, so I think that this is out of copyright in the United States.

Delete : Copyrighted image which clearly violates NFCC#8. The poster provides sufficient help for visualizing the characters, and this does not add anything significant that cannot be explained in a simple manner through prose. The above arguments of the scene being important and perfect fair use are not sufficient to justify a copyrighted image's presence. The scene can be explained in the plot and the fair use refrains from saying what unique and relevant characteristics the screenshot exhibits which cannot be shown through the prose or the poster in the infobox.

I believe you haven't gone through WP:NFCC#8. How do you say its omission would be detrimental to the understanding of the topic? X.One ^SOS 11:10, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

(cough) Dear friend, I'm fully aware of WP:NFCC#8, and if I may say so, I've gone through it long before you became an editor on WP. Use of non-free images on BLP actors has been a controversial issue, no doubt, but in order to satisfy the aforementioned criterion, the rationale was made and agreed upon by many. And it's there to justify its use (it clearly says, "The image supports and illustrates discussion of the role in her article, as well as critical comments that are provided in relation to this performance. The image thus adds depth to the article by providing a visual representation that illustrates pertinent points in the article, in a clearer manner than could be achieved with prose alone."). And the image is also used on the film's article. Simple. Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:54, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I believe that the two characters are sufficiently illustrated in the poster, and the only unique interpretations which can be made out of the copyrighted screenshot are the costumes, the background and the scene. If I am not mistaken, the importance of the costumes is not anything significant here and the other two can be clearly explained through prose. X.One ^SOS 07:25, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

With the amount of images of him on the internet, there should be at least one of Tupac that is free to use. It is replaceable, so its use cannot be classed as fair use, so it should be deleted. --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 16:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Neutral I have looked for photos fairly extensively, but there are no free photos (or non-professional non-free photos we could request permission for) that I have found. Look at this search: all images over 600x800 (normally self-taken photos are a decent resolution, as opposed to images snagged from the internet) mentioning tupac or 2pac on flickr.com. There are only a few, and none are relevant. I say neutral as opposed to keep because it's possible that someone out there has a physical photo of Tupac (from a concert etc.) they could scan, and need to be made aware that there is a need for the photo to upload it.

Non-free screenshot in the actress's article, does not add significantly to the understanding of the actress. Sven Manguard Wha? 16:11, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Strong keep - it adds a lot in accordance with the rationale. And it was already discussed on the talk page and agreed upon. Additionally, the image is used on the article as a fair use image, and there's absolutely no problem with that. The rationale gives one hell of an explanation for that (detailing why exactly the image is essential and ending with "The image thus adds depth to the article by providing a visual representation that illustrates pertinent points in the article, in a clearer manner than could be achieved with prose alone."). In short, the image is a perfect representation of a modern Indian woman, you can't get it with prose alone. Shahid • ^Talk2me 16:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Move to commons it's a PD image, the other one is CC, so has more restrictions. 70.24.247.54 (talk) 05:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
Comment The licence is not necessarily PD. According to this page, the terms of use are "You are going to have sooooooo much fun with my clipart collection! Feel free to download any of the images you'd like to have and you can use them on your own websites!" Limitation to websites only? Are derivative works allowed? --Stefan2 (talk) 00:47, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
- Comment the CC image is a vectorization of the GIF image, so if the license for the GIF is incorrect, and it's not PD so is actually a regular copyright, then the SVG is in violation of copyright. 70.24.247.54 (talk) 05:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:HowrahBridge Monsoonclouds.jpg

The copyright status of the image is unclear. Actual image not found in the source provided. Amartyabag ^TALK2ME 08:09, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Comment very similar file (an earlier version?) is at commons:File:Howrah_Bridge_01.jpg. Thincat (talk) 11:19, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

The commons image is newer, while the file in question is an earlier one. The Commons one has been wrongly claimed and uploaded as evident from the time stamp. The Commons image is nothing but a cropped and some digital enhancement of this image. Both of them must be deleted. Amartyabag

^TALK2ME 13:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes, you are right, sorry about my mistake. The file was on Slovak wiki but was deleted on 20 August 2006.[2] I can't see why. I can't trace back further than the earliest version here. It looks as this image has been moved around in circles. Thincat (talk) 15:30, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Appears to have been uploaded to skwiki in 2005[3]. Maybe an admin at Slovak Wikipedia would be able to find out why it was deleted? There might be something on the deleted file description page. Since the Commons file is later than the Slovak Wikipedia file, it could be unfree as well. The Slovak Wikipedia logs suggest that sk:User:Ham is the photographer but Commons lists a different photographer. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Webclock.png

The screen shot was taken in IE 9. I had initially listed it as CSD F3. But someone objected. Bur I think it is invalid because Microsoft does not allow screenshot of their product to contain third-party content. See:Template:Microsoft screenshot. I think someone can take a screen shot using a free browser and then upload it. Sumanch (talk) 21:18, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep: I cropped the image and thus this FFD is solved... 22:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
