Wikipedia:Files for deletion

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	Examples of what you may request here Obsolete – The file has been replaced by a better version.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:
What not to list here 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. Files that have no source, have an unknown copyright, 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 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.) For blatant copyright infringements, use speedy deletion by tagging the file {{db-f9}} 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. Files that are hosted on Wikimedia Commons cannot be deleted via this process. Please use the Commons deletion page instead. Description pages with no local file, even though they are in the file namespace, should not be listed here. Redirects should be treated as in any other namespace: if no speedy deletion criteria apply, they should be listed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. Local description pages for files hosted on Commons are usually speedy-deletable under criterion F2; use {{db-nofile}}. Local description pages with no associated file are speedy-deletable under criterion G8; use {{db-imagepage}}. Any other deletion of a description page with no local file should be listed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion. 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 criterion 8 for files. 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=2013 May 19}} 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=2013 May 19}} to the caption(s), or adding a notice to the article talk pages. Consider also notifying relevant WikiProjects of the discussion. 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.

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.

Also remember that if you believe that an image is potentially useful for other projects and should be moved to Wikimedia Commons, in lieu of responding '''Move to Commons''', you can move it there yourself. See Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons for instructions.

Instructions for closing discussions

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

Invalid FUR--non-free media not discussed critically. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:00, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with the given FUR. Including screenshots to show visual style, resolution, textures and game assets is commonly done at video game articles. The whole article is critical discussion of the game. Diego (talk) 05:29, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

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. How is it this cannot be adequately described with prose? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:21, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

If you're able to describe in prose the snow texture, the jagged blurriness and low polygon count of the werewolf arm, the various shapes of the trees, the algorithm for generating the clouds, and all that in a way that a reader will get the same feeling and understanding as when seeing the picture, please do so.

File:OpenEmuHeroScreenshot.jpg

File:OpenEmuHeroScreenshot.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by SlasherNuke15987 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

This image displays a screenshot of an emulator that allows users to play Nintendo games on their Apple. The screenshot has a valid permission from the creator(s) of the OpenEmu software, but not from the creator(s) of Super Mario Brothers or any of the thumbnails shown. There are at least two options here that need to be considered (and I have temporarily restored in the file history a larger version so that you can see what the actual screenshot looks like). We could (1) just claim fair use (and someone would need to write a valid rationale) for the icons and screenshot of the game. We could (2) crop out the entire right half of the image (the Super Mario Brothers game) and then blank out the remaining area where the thumbnails of video games are shown. I'm leaning in the direction of option 2, but wanted to at least have an opportunity for discussion before taking unilateral action. B (talk) 22:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

• Comment isn't the entire point of the screenshot is to show that the emulator can run an NES game? So add a FUR for the inclusion of Mario graphics. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 05:49, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

  I've added a FUR to the image for the Mario graphics and visible cover art. drewmunn talk 06:30, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

  • Not really - the point of the screenshot is to show what the product looks like. We can tell the user that it is capable of running the NES game with words - we don't have to prove it to them with a screenshot. --B (talk) 10:58, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
    • You're not really showing them what it looks like, unless it runs something under emulation, as different emulators render differently. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 12:30, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
• I checked all articles about emulators listed at List of video game emulators. Many of them have no images at all, and in the cases where they do have images, games are often not shown. I'm wondering if it wouldn't be possible to explain that it can run NES games by simply including a textual statement about this. It may be different if you wish to show that the emulator makes the game work differently. For example, the article Bleemcast! shows that the game seems to look better when using the emulator than when using the original hardware. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:56, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

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. What about this cannot be adequately explained with prose? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 19:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

The art style, for starters. There's also the elements of cooperative gameplay, HUD elements and other gameplay features. This is not some frivolous image just to beef out the article. How does this not help readers better understand the article? I would also point out the licensing tag for the image "for identification and critical commentary on the computer or video game in question or the copyrighted character(s) or item(s) depicted on the screenshot in question". While there may or may not be much critical commentary on the characters depicted, a Mario game certainly would have the ability to do so considering the number of critical reviews. --Teancum (talk) 19:33, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

The image appeared three years ago at what is now talk: Pi/Archive 7 #Every circle contains an equilateral triangle of 60 degree. The discussion contained, inter alia, such declaration made by the image’s author:

“	Good luck I'm a Prophet,I have seen the Lord from psalm 18(which they call him the dragon from the book of job chapter 41,everything under heaven is his)The king of the north and the King of the south.Greeks verses Persia.	”
—user:Twentythreethousand, diff

Apparently, the image expresses original thoughts of the author that π = 3, not illustrates such obsolete misconception (which would be perfectly legitimate), and thus shall be burned. Probably other uploads of the same author have to be deleted too, to prevent pollution of Wikimedia Commons. Also, Wikipedians may strike at commons:File:Mans number.jpg (which was transferred for an unknown reason), although that image is not especially dangerous because is obviously messed up and geometrically incorrect.

Violates NFCC. Photo of living person and also, it is tagged as historical image but the image itself is not the subject of commentary. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 03:58, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• Strong keep Key historical image for 2000 Ramallah lynching. For POV reasons, many have been attempting to WP:game the system remove this image from Wikipedia. Plot Spoiler (talk) 04:12, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I'm purely speaking from a copyright standpoint. Do you have any rebuttals as to why this image doesn't violate NFCC rather than attempting to attack what you assume my intentions are, even though you're assumptions are false? Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 04:17, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know what your intentions are, and I assume your actions are being done in good faith. Just putting this issue in a larger context. Plot Spoiler (talk) 04:28, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok well I'm saying it violates WP:NFC#UUI, particularly #6 and #7 and possibly #1 and #5. Ramaksoud2000 ^{(Talk to me)} 04:34, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Tagged for having no licence for the photographic aspects of the image, but the tag was removed without adding any licence for the photographic aspects of it. Stefan2 (talk) 10:41, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Keep- Reason for deleting is insufficient. The tag claimed that the propper licensing information wasn't their. I put the correct licensing information and removed the tag because the tag was incorrect. Plus, the image is needed for visual identification of the Baltimore Police Departments badge. --Mick man34 (talk) 11:52, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• Comment - Valid fair use image, but it really should have the name of the photographer (who would hold a copyright over the photograph itself, although it is non-free no matter what) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
  • An image like this needs two licence tags: one for the photo and one for the underlying badge. Also, the photo licence has to be a free licence as the photo part is replaceable per WP:NFCC#1. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:00, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Does not pass NFCC #8: no contextual significance, no in-article discussion of the scene or (if we look at the new FUR, production values) which require images.  — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:29, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• Keep as scene is discussed in article but only the image can convey the scene's aesthetic and context properly to modern audiences. - Dravecky (talk) 14:38, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
• Strong Keep as the image directly refers to the cheesy production values, in fact, that was the point of the entire article, to show an example of a low-budget Sci-Fi work. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 14:43, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• "The production was clearly low-budget as seen by the use of existing office space standing in for scientific centers." Blatant WP:OR, which goes against policy and should not be counted towards "contextual significance". The entirety of the discussion of budget is:

Faced with the inevitable meager budget, he resorted to using available spaces, including office buildings to serve as NASA headquarters. The typical shoddy production values of a B film were evident, with the Southland Life Insurance Building visible as the Martians drive among the humans; other prominent local landmarks including the Southern Methodist University were also featured." I fail to see how having.

This does not discuss the scene, nor does it provide any context in which an image of the scene would be necessary — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

The scene is set in an office building is now described in the caption as: "Using their transponder, Dop, the Martian leader "materialized" in the "Space Center", attempting to explain his mission on Earth. The scene in an office at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport shows the clearly low-budget production values in using existing office space standing in for scientific centers." Here is the original article that provided the reference source:

Mars Needs Women (1968)

A military station intercepts and decodes a three-word message, "Mars needs women." Soon a delegation of five Martians, led by one-time Disney child star Tommy Kirk, comes to Earth on a mission to redress the imbalance. It seems that Martians have a chromosomal deficiency that produces only male babies, so the team is here to recruit - or more accurately capture--our best and brightest females, i.e., a stripper, a stewardess, and a brainy Pulitzer Prize winner played by Yvonne Craig, aka Batgirl on TV's Batman series. Needless to say, the Martians encounter strong resistance on the part of Earth authorities, and they even learn a thing or two about the value of true love.

Mars Needs Women (1967) was filmed on the very cheap (reportedly $20,000) over a two-week period in 1966 by self-described schlockmeister Larry Buchanan. After a stint writing for television's The Gabby Hayes Show, Buchanan served as assistant director to Fred Zinnemann on The Men (1950) and George Cukor on The Marrying Kind (1952). He also created and starred in the Peabody Award-winning shortThe Cowboy (1951), his last brush with critical acclaim. He then moved into writing, directing, and producing exploitation films, shoestring productions that touched on racial tensions, teen sex, and backwoods incest. After shooting a story about strippers in his native Texas at a Dallas nightclub owned by Lee Harvey Oswald's killer Jack Ruby, he embarked on a series of films loosely based on real celebrities and historical events, beginning with The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald (1964), an account of what might have happened had Oswald lived and faced trial for the assassination of John F. Kennedy.

Buchanan moved back to Texas in the 1960s, and Mars Needs Women was filmed there. Those familiar with Dallas recognize several buildings in the city and on the campus of Southern Methodist University, and anyone who has been to George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston will know that the "Space Center" in the movie is now the revolving restaurant atop the Marriott hotel there.

Due to lack of sufficient lighting instruments, the film had to be undercranked (shot at a slower frames-per-minute rate) when natural light conditions were poor. To keep the action from being unnaturally fast when projected at normal speeds, the actors were instructed to compensate by moving more slowly. Buchanan also made extensive use of stock footage, particularly from military films, including long takes of X-15 aircraft in action.

Mars Needs Women was distributed directly to television by schlock specialists American International, producers of the beach party movies of the early 60s and a string of psychedelic-themed B pictures later in the decade. It was also the company where Roger Corman made his first big name with a series of films based on the stories of Edgar Allan Poe. The television branch of the company, responsible for bringing Mars Needs Women to unsuspecting viewers, imported and dubbed a lot of foreign horror, sci-fi, and sword-and-sandal adventures for the American small screen.

Tommy Kirk started his career at 13, first on stage, then television. He first gained attention as the adolescent star of such Disney blockbusters as Old Yeller (1957), The Shaggy Dog (1959), and The Absent-Minded Professor (1961). A few years later, he appeared in several youth-oriented comedies, opposite such teen queens as Annette Funicello and Deborah Walley. His career slowly skidded to a halt after Disney executives became aware of his homosexuality. He was also fired from the John Wayne film The Sons of Katie Elder (1965) after being busted for marijuana. Kirk later started a successful business and turned up in occasional B movies as late as 2001.

Judging from subsequent releases, Mars never succeeded well in its missions. In 2011, Disney released the animated comedy-sci-fi adventure Mars Needs Moms, based on the 2007 children's book by Berkeley Breathed, creator of the comic strip "Bloom County." The title of Mars Needs Women has also been referenced or used in songs by musicians as diverse as metal rocker Rob Zombie, electronic experimentalists Meat Beat Manifesto, roots fusion-revivalists Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, and Belgium's Novastar. And never fear, ladies; you're not the only ones in jeopardy. A gay adult movie based itself on the premise that Mars Needs Men (2005). On an episode of The Simpsons animated TV series, the Springfield Googleplex cinema advertises the film "Mars Needs Towels." And Frank Zappa spoke satirically for Britain's Isle of Man in 1977 with the song "Manx Needs Women."

If you watch the film, a lengthy scene takes place in the "Space Center" that has the camera firmly focused on a loudspeaker, a clear indication of "padding" the scene. Most of the "action" that follows concerns characters talking to themselves, then to the alien, interspersed with stock footage of Air Force fighters bombers and even the X-15 taking off to intercept other aliens.

• Delete, obviously. Just a few people standing around a desk. The article does not discuss people standing around a desk and you don't need an image to understand that people stood around a desk. Clear failure of WP:NFCC#8. --Stefan2 (talk) 16:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

• Repeat: Retain, the image clearly indicates the use of an office that stood in for a space center, the example of the low-budget production values that were employed. FWiW Bzuk (talk) As per: WP:NFCC#8, a non-free-use rationale was provided, and it enhances the user's understanding of the low production values employed on a cheesy Sci-Fi film. What more is needed?
