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Obsolete - The file has been replaced by a better version.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.

[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 3}}` 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 3}}` 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.

[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.

Non-free image fails replaceability. Only use of this image is at puzzle video game, where it is used to illustrate a hidden-object game.

Unneeded file for something on commons and is free. ~~Ebe123~~ → report on my contribs. 01:32, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Disagree According to the source, the file was created 16 February 1967 and therefore is probably not free, which means it will most likely end up being deleted from the Commons.

[edit] File:Vbox osx win7.png

I nominate this for deletion because it is a screenshot of proprietary software, Mac OS and Windows 7, and Commons images from Category:VirtualBox can serve as a free equivalent because they use free operating systems and the base software is also free software, so the nominated file fails WP:NFCC#1. User:Jasper Deng has stated: "Even when using Linux distributions to demonstrate it, this software still contains copyrighted code (especially the extensions pack) and thus no free image can be made of it, unless we use a very old version of VirtualBox that does not accurately reflect the software itself." I don't consider this an argument for keeping the image, yet. Instead, if true, it would mean that all VirtualBox screenshots on the Commons should be nominated for deletion. If all that happened and no free image could exist, the argument "virtualization of Windows on Mac OS is the bigger usage" may be worthwhile but I'm not convinced and until then we should use the equivalent that appears to be free. Hekerui (talk) 11:41, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there some kind of restriction imposed through the operating system licenses which prevents licensees from taking screen shots and publicize them? Is there any reason to believe that this image is non-free? --Useerup (talk) 18:34, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes. If the software is copyrighted, we have to be careful about infringing that. We try to avoid such screenshots, in general, if we can avoid it. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Delete I think that it can be replaced by a screenshot of Linux on Linux or anything similar. The Virtual Box menus would probably only be de minimis. For software screenshot restrictions, see {{non-free software screenshot}} and {{Microsoft screenshot}}. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:38, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Keep: VirtualBox's most accurate representation is something like this. I would have this image deleted however, if someone could get a screenshot of Linux on Windows or Windows on Linux. Jasper Deng (talk) 19:01, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete fails fair use. Easily replaceable by a free image of FOSS Operating systems --Chris Ssk _talk 20:12, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- VirtualBox has closed-source components as part of its extension pack, which only affects its most recent versions (see the article). Older versions may or may not be able of having free screenshots depending on whether they are the OSE or not. Jasper Deng (talk) 01:38, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep or Modify - As this is a current screenshot, it reflects the software in its current state demonstrating a notable feature - 3D accelleration. If however this is not possible due to licensing, a screenshot of linux on linux would be just as accurate. NotinREALITY 03:36, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- This kind of 3D acceleration is only new for Windows; 3D acceleration for Linux has been there for quite some time. Jasper Deng (talk) 04:37, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- As this is a new feature, is it not suitable to have a screenshot that reflects this? Would it be possible to resize the image to a thumbnail as is done for other OS X and Windows screenshots? NotinREALITY 05:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
  - ~~That'll be up to the original uploader.~~ Resizing would help the likelihood of this image being kept, so let's do it. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:16, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
  - Permission isnt an issue, I will upload a smaller version. What size do we think will suit? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NotinREALITY (talk • contribs) 05:33, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
    - Something like 320*180 is fine. Just enough to fill the infobox of VirtualBox. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
UPDATE - I have uploaded a low resolution sample of this image , so this image may now be deleted. Any objections to me reverting the current image to the low res sample?

- (edit conflict) (3 times) No objections. Go ahead. Jasper Deng (talk) 05:55, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
RESOLVED - I believe this matter is now resolved, this image may be deleted. Thankyou for all of your contributions. NotinREALITY 05:58, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete this image because a low-res replacement has been uploaded. If anyone objects to the new image, start a separate discussion. Jasper Deng (talk) 06:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

The dispute is about image content, not resolution. I added the newly uploaded image to this discussion so we get a resolution on the issue at hand. I think the image should be deleted regardless of resolution, because old VirtualBox version screenshots exists and can be used. Hekerui (talk) 09:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Delete this one because it is orphaned and delete File:Lowres vbox sc.png because it is replaceable. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:19, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, it's not replaceable because Windows Aero support can only be demonstrated by a Windows screenshot (although the Mac OS X part can go). Jasper Deng (talk) 18:10, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
  - Why is Windows Aero support relevant? If it has anything to do with the 3D stuff discussed above, it is replaceable by a similar GUI for Linux. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
    - There was always support for Linux GUIs (since something like version 2), so that's not a new feature. Windows Aero support is a big characteristic of any virtualization software. Jasper Deng (talk) 20:41, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
      - I think that is something that can be imparted by words alone. Hekerui (talk) 21:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
        
        A picture, literally here, is worth a thousand words. Jasper Deng (talk) 23:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
        
        If you are suggesting that a recent update to Virtualbox enabled a certain feature in Windows but that the same kind of feature has been available in Linux for much longer, this may be something for a criticism section as textual information but it is certainly not needed in the infobox. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
        
        The discussion here is about the image in question, and was due to its violation of fair use. This violation was resolved by replacing it with a 'web resolution' image thas is claimed to comply with said regulation. NotinREALITY 08:59, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘* The use of this image depends not only on the resolution but also on whether it is replaceable. The resizing of the image adjusted its resolution so that it fulfills the criterion on low resolution, but there is still the issue on whether it is replaceable or not. I still think that it is replaceable by a Linux on Linux image. --Stefan2 (talk) 12:52, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

The problem is that Linux on Linux does not adequately demonstrate the whole purpose of VirtualBox. Linux on Linux is absolutely pointless and I believe is only a fringe usage of VirtualBox.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:30, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Different Linux distributions can still be incomatible and VirtualBox can show usage of both - and, most importantly, it can be done with free operating systems. If we can demonstrate a function with free software, the non-free use rationale is not persuasive anymore. Hekerui (talk) 07:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Furthermore, Linux is not the only free operating system. A few days ago, I created File:FreeDOS on QEMU on Linux.png (WARNING! Wrong virtualisation software – not usable here) because a screenshot showing that combination was needed elsewhere. FreeDOS, FreeBSD or any other free operating system could be used instead. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

This raises another problem. given wikipedia's efforts toward 'user readability', does two linux operating systems have any relavance to the standard user? does it not suit the purpose better to demonstrate the two leading operating systems (in terms of market share) in this context? Please see Wikipedia NFCC #8 - 'Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding'. NotinREALITY 08:48, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- The purpose of this piece of software is to be able to run some operating system on top of some (usually different) operating system. A demonstration of this with two free operating systems would give the same understanding as a demonstration of this with two unfree operating systems, with the difference that the image would be free. --Stefan2 (talk) 22:45, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
  - For a CLI-based OS, that would not work as a guest because we need to distinguish from a simple DOS emulator. I've only sporadically ever seen VirtualBox used on a CLI environment (because not many people with that kind of host use VirtualBox). I think NotinREALITY's comment is valid, therefore, because the average user expects VirtualBox to be used to run Windows/Linux on top of OS X/Linux/Windows (except Linux on Linux or Windows on Windows, unless the Windows versions are different).Jasper Deng (talk) 22:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
    - For whatever it is worth, Commons:Category:VirtualBox has plenty of useful screenshots. If you want an example of a screenshot where the host OS is different from the guest OS, I have created the file File:FreeDOS on VirtualBox on Linux.png for this purpose (easy since I still had the installation files). I'm not sure what the difference is between VirtualBox and a "simple DOS emulator"; DOS programs send signals directly to system hardware, so a "simple DOS emulator" must emulate all hardware, i.e., a "simple DOS emulator" must implement the features of VirtualBox, although it could be limited to handling operating systems running on ancient hardware. Programs such as DOSBox can be used as a virtualisation program, although only ancient OSes might work. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:47, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
      - My point. We don't want to give readers the impression it's another DOSBox-like program.Jasper Deng (talk) 23:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
        
        But it is "another DOSBox-like program" in that it virtualises hardware. The only difference is that DOSBox exclusively virtualises old hardware and that it comes with a built-in DOS emulator. --Stefan2 (talk) 23:59, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
        
        We still want to show that VirtualBox isn't the same.Jasper Deng (talk) 00:18, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

Keep: How else to display seamless windows? Jasper Deng (talk) 19:02, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- Is that a Windows-only feature? If so, keeping is probably necessary. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:17, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
  - You might be able to do it under a Linux distribution, but I've never seen it done, and it would be hard to find very different distributions in terms of their GUIs and make a screenshot. Technically it is replaceable, but we don't have easy access to one. Jasper Deng (talk) 20:21, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
    - Perhaps the same solution as was used on the main image, a smaller thumbnail image will conform to fair use and allow us to keep the current image. NotinREALITY 06:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
    - If it can be replaced, then policy doesn't permit usage, so delete. I don't see how this feature can't be put into words anyway. Hekerui (talk) 09:16, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
      - which is why we need a suitable image to demonstrate it NotinREALITY 09:00, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm just wondering, isn't it a bit difficult to see that the left Firefox is the Debian version? Sure, you can zoom in to see the word "Iceweasel" and there are some very minor GUI differences, but they might not be very obvious. Wouldn't it be more illustrative to pick two programs where the OS differences are more prominent?

[edit] File:ACTA protest by members of the Polish parliament.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 per WP:CSD#F7b, as a commercial news agency image not itself the object of commentary (i.e. in its role as a creative work of photography). Sorry folks, but F7b is mandatory and cannot be overridden by keep votes here. Fut.Perf. ☼ 00:52, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

Image created by a commercial agency, for which there is no imperative need to use in Wikipedia. I believe that textual accounting of this event, as provided already in the image descriptions and accompanied by at most a free image of the Guy Fawkes mask, if available, is more than enough to introduce this event. ZZArch ^{talk to me} 06:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep. The message conveyed in this image is important for the section criticism (public parliamentary action by a larger group) of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement and can hardly be conveyed by words alone. I remove the image 1/2 days ago from the Guy Fawkes mask page, as there was no rationale for that, but here I think fair use is defendable (and that's all we need). L.tak (talk) 11:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep - the purpose of the image is to show the "unique parliamentary protests" in Poland. Replacing it with a free image of the Guy Fawkes mask is not appropriate because a Guy Fawkes mask does not say anything about the Polish parliamentary response. --Joshua Issac (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

If you read my proposal, I suggested that the image of the mask can be combined with textual description to the same effect. Do we really need the picture of the Polish MPs specifically, as opposed to simply saying that "the Polish MPs wore Guy Fawkes mask to parliament", with an image simply to show the readers what said masks look like? I reject this use of a commercial non-free image as in keeping with Wikipedia's principle on non-free image. Recall the simple test on need to use non-free content: Could the subject be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text without using the non-free content at all? In this case, my answer is an adamant yes.

Furthermore, non-free images are supposed to show something where the image has significance; a logo, a screenshot, or an album cover, for example. In this case, I doubt that there is anything the image adds to the article; all that the reader see is a bunch of people in suits wearing Guy Fawkes masks. There is simply nothing I learned by looking at the image, given that I already know that the Polish MPs decided to protest the ACTA by wearing Guy Fawkes masks and what these masks look like. Does this really satisfy the criterion that Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding? I sincerely doubt it. ZZArch ^{talk to me} 20:35, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Keep. A picture is worth a thousand words. The textual representation would be nowhere near as strong in conveying the actual act by the Polish MPs. Sarah (talk) 11:04, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Despite the significance of images, the Wikipedia guidelines on non-free content is tantamount and must be wholly and unambiguously satisfied to demonstrate a pressing need to utilize non-free images in articles. We have a commitment to be free whenever doing so does not significantly impede the encyclopedic quality, and this image does not appear to be consistent with that commitment. ZZArch ^{talk to me} 22:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Delete The article needs images of some of the protests, but it should be possible to find free images of some of the other protests, so there is no need to use an image for this protest. If it is relevant for the article readers to know what a Guy Fawkes mask looks like, it would be better to have an image which only shows the mask and nothing else as it makes it easier to see the mask. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:03, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Random imagery of public demonstrations cannot adequately illustrate that which is contained in this photograph. — C M B J 23:59, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Keep Parliamentary members wearing an iconic mask associated with non-establishment activities (i.e. Anonymous) is a sufficiently unique and of historical interest to satisfy NFCC#1. An image of a Guy Fawkes mask or people wearing Guy Fawkes masks in another setting would not serve the same encyclopedic purpose. henrik•talk 21:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Could the subject be adequately conveyed by properly sourced text without using the non-free content at all? I believe the answer is yes, and I would like to hear why that is not the case. Furthermore, there is still NFCC#8 violation. ZZArch ^{talk to me} 22:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

NFCC#8 is intended to address problems with contextual significance. You're suggesting that this image lacks contextual significance at Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement? — C M B J 23:56, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Betelgeuse Resolved IOTA.jpg

Non-free astronomical photograph of a star, used in an article about the role of that star "in fiction". However, the section it's being used in is purely about scientific, real-world aspects of the star, and bears no relation to any discussion related to the actual topic of the article (or if there is such a connection, it's an implied and unsourced one and entirely WP:OR). Fails NFCC#8 with respect to the actual purpose of the article. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:55, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Betelgeuse in fiction is one of a collection of articles (Aldebaran in fiction, Alpha Centauri in fiction, etc) that have been moved out of the general article Stars and planetary systems in fiction because of the large number of fictional citations they contain. Each of these articles contains an Overview section giving physical, exoplanetary, astronomical, etymological, and cultural background on the star. This is important information for readers of the article so that they can better understand and appreciate the choices made by authors of works of fiction in portraying the star as a location in space or as the host of a planetary system. In particular, the image of Betelgeuse showing star spots as evidence of convective cells that contribute to the star's envelope and variability are relevant to some of the works of fiction that feature Betelgeuse.

OperaJoeGreen (talk) 20:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

First thing, this is a rather poor structural choice for a series of articles. These non-fictional kinds of info belong in the main article on the star itself, of which the "in fiction" ought to be treated as a sub-article. Second, if the star spots are "relevant" to some of the works, as you claim, I'm not seeing any of that in the article. Where is that connection described and discussed? Third, however, even if such a discussion was present, without reliable sourcing, everything that would relate the discussion of the fictional stuff with the physical info is "original research".

this has a somewhat complex history. It was upload about 5 or 6 years ago, along with several others, for Ásmundar Sveinsson. Then someone said that they were copyright protected, (though they are my pictures) so I took them out of the article, but did not remove them from wikipedia. I did not know how to do that. Now looking at our Freedom of panorama article I see that Iceland has freedom of panorama for non-commercial purposes, such as wikipedia (?) but probably not good for commons.

Comment It could be useful to have at least one example of a sculpture by him in the article. I see that he was born before 1923 and that he has lived in Sweden. Were any of his statues erected before 1 January 1923? Are any of his statues in Sweden? An old revision of the article shows that there are plenty of pictures on Wikipedia, all of them being post-1923 statues in Iceland.

Keep - I don't see any reason why we need to delete this. The grave is in the public domain and is located on a United States government facility not subject to Copyright. Regardless of what the Arlington Cemetery.net website may infer it does not own the rights to an image of the grave taken by a private individual nor does it it own the rights to the gravesite. This is different than taking a picture of a painting or sculpture in a studio. --Kumioko (talk) 19:44, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Keep - In addition to what Kumioko has stated, I believe the image falls into the Fair Use category under the following reasons: First, there are no apparent free equivalents or alternatives to the photographs of Rene Gagnon's headstone to be used in Gagnon's article. Second, there's no infringement to commercial purposes for images of Rene Gagnon's headstone at Arlington. Third, the image has an important encyclopedic use in illustrating how Gagnon is memorialized in death by for his role in the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. (A larger scale example would be Lincoln's tomb of which there are multiple photographs on Wikipedia). Particularly, Gangon was re-interred in Arlington National Cemetery after first being buried elsewhere. The fact that his body was moved and then honored with this unique memorial with an addition to a standard military headstone is important unto itself. The photograph thus significantly adds to a reader's understanding of how the United States viewed the men involved in the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima and its absence would be detrimental. Fourth, this image has a home and a use. It will not exist merely to exist. Fifth, it's use is minimal. ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 22:08, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Girls Generation 2012.jpg

Um, why exactly do we need this dupe? The Commons name is already "descriptive and readable" ("LG 시네마 3D TV 새 모델 ‘소녀시대’ 영입.jpg", McCune–Reischauer: "LG sinema 3D TV sae model 'sonyŏsidae' yŏngip.jpg"). The idea is to move from Wikipedia to Commons and not the other way around so that we get as few copies of the same file as possible. Stefan2 (talk) 01:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Although neither Commons nor WP:WIAFP doesn't discourage foreign filenames, in fact the file is readable and searchable only for those who know Korean. Brandmeister t 12:04, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
Keep. As is stated on the file, it satisfies WP:IFN (an English Wikipedia-specific policy) in that a file's title be "descriptive or at least readable". I don't see this image as meeting any of the criteria here at FfD. —Eustress ^talk 12:15, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Knovel logo.jpg

This closed as keep on Commons because it was thought to be simple enough for PD-textlogo, see Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Knovel logo.jpg. I'm using a normal deletion request instead of adding {{Now Commons}} because there seems to be some disagreement about this in the {{Not moved to Commons}} field on Wikipedia. I think that the image can be deleted here. Stefan2 (talk) 16:02, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

Commons dosen't have a statement on Paraguay's threshold of originality, and Paraguay appears to use Civil law, so it wouldn't fall under the blanket Common Law provision. In the absence of something indicating that it isn't okay under Paraguay's threshold of originality laws, I say treat it as okay for Commons. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:56, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:Swem portrait.jpg

No evidence that the painting itself is PD, and based on the timeline (subject died in the 1960s), it's unlikely. This would mean that the photo of the painting cannot be released under a free license. Sven Manguard Wha? 17:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] File:EASTER.jpg

This has {{not moved to Commons}} with the reason being that the image isn't entirely identical to this image. It seems that the first version on Commons is identical and that it was then updated on Commons by cropping it. I think that this can be deleted here. Stefan2 (talk) 19:32, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
