This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Robojames (talk | contribs) at 14:42, 22 June 2005 (→‎June 22: Image:UnknownDevice.jpg). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This page is only for listing images which are duplicates or otherwise unneeded. For copyright infringements, use Wikipedia:Copyright problems. For licensing issues that are not copyright infringements, use Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images. For images duplicated at the Commons use the {{NowCommons|Image:newname.ext}} tag instead of listing here, unless there's some reason the version here actually needs to be deleted.

Images that have been listed for more than one week are eligible for deletion if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to deletion have been raised. Such images should be dealt with as soon as possible.

As per the speedy deletion policy, administrators can delete on sight "[a]n image which is a redundant (all bits the same or scaled-down) copy of something else on Wikipedia and as long as all inward links have been changed to the image being retained." This does not include visually similar pictures, such as PNG versions of JPEG images. Such images should be listed here instead. For the time being, this also does not include photos copied to Wikimedia Commons.

Deletion guidelines for administrators -- deletion log -- List of empty images

Listing instructions

To list an image on this page, simply add it to the bottom. If it has been replaced by another image, also list that image, in the format "[[:Image:Foo.jpg]] - obsoleted by [[:Image:Bar.jpg]]".

Always inform the uploader that their image is at imminent risk of deletion by adding a message to their talk page. You can use {{idw|File name}} (replace "File name" with the name of the image or media).

If you remove an image from an article, you should list the article from which you removed it, so there can be effective community review of whether or not the image should be deleted. This is necessary because image pages do not remember the articles the images used to be used on.

Add the following message to the top of any image page listed on this page: {{ifd}}, which shows up as:

This template should only be used on file pages.

On this page, state the reasons that the image should be deleted. Some people like to use the following abbreviations:

  • AB (absentee uploader) - the uploader has not contributed to Wikipedia in a long time, and is probably unavailable to answer questions.
  • CV (copyright violation) - the image might be used in violation of copyright, or else there is no copyright info provided
  • NE (not English) - the image contains text that is not English.
  • NS (no source) - image does not contain source and copyright info; tagged with {{No source}}. Replaces UV below.
  • OB (obsolete) - the image has been replaced by a better version.
  • OF (out-of-focus) - the image is blurry.
  • OR (orphan) - the image is not used on any pages in Wikipedia.
  • UE (unencyclopedic) - the image doesn't seem likely to be useful in an encyclopedia
  • UV (unverified) - image does not contain source and copyright info; tagged with {{unverified}}

Instructions for administrators

General

Before deleting an image, make sure of the following:

  • That the image has been listed on this page for one week or longer
  • That the uploader has been alerted on their talk page to the imminent deletion of their image
  • That no objections to its deletion have been raised, or that a consensus to delete has been reached
  • That the image is not used in any articles (note that "What links here" is not currently reliable)
  • That the image is not currently being processed as a copyright violation

To delete an image, open the image page and click either the link, "Delete all revisions of this image" or the usual "delete" tab at the top of the page. Either will work. (This was not the case in previous versions of the software.)

Also, please specify the reason for deletion in your deletion summary. Examples:

Orphaned and obsoleted, listed on IfD since (date)
Orphaned copyright violation, listed on IfD since (date)

If you delete an image listed on this page, remove the listing and note your removal in your edit summary.

Avoid processing your own nominations.

Images moved to Commons

When deleting an image because it is now at the Wikimedia Commons, make sure the Commons version is totally kosher. Among other things, check that:

  1. all relevant revisions of the image have been pushed to the Commons, not just the most recent one.
  2. the Commons version really is as good as or better than the local one.
  3. the Commons version is really free, and properly tagged.
  4. the Commons version is properly attributed.

Also consider preserving the image description here. Otherwise the image will still be shown but the page will also say "This page does not exist".

Unverified orphans

Unverified orphans have been moved to Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/Unverified orphans. See the discussion on the talk page there for details on what is to be done with them. Please list unverified orphans on that page. If unverified orphans are listed on this page (WP:IFD), then instead of deleting unverified orphans from here at the end of the 7-day period, they should be moved to the unverified orphans page instead. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 14:58, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)

This picture was used on (pretty shoddy) page (Masin) which has been completely rewritten by me some days ago. It is no longer needed (and unusable elsewhere). Pavel Vozenilek 01:12, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

        • Ok, but what are the images you wanted to be tossed? The pictures are not orpahns until the VFD is finished, plus, I do not think user pages like this will be tossed from here, but it is strange to have three copies of the same article. I was part of the VFD and I remember the sockpuppetry, it was a pain to deal with. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:14, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • Ok, but what are the images you wanted to be tossed? All of them, of course, and the orphaned/duplicated ones should certainly be no-brainers. --Calton | Talk 01:19, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
            • Oops, I did not see the list above the vote. Do accept my apologize on that one. I will say the images could be tossed once they become orphans, do I do also doubt that every photo taken for these articles are Public Domain at all. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:23, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
            • BTW, I count 10 deletes, 1 keep, and 1 I-dunno so far, so the direction of the VfD is pretty clear: I'm just getting a headstart on the IfD that goes with it. --Calton | Talk 01:27, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
              • Fine with me. Many people put pictures on IFD after they put the article on VFD or after the VFD was finished. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 01:28, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I suggest we hold off on this one, as it seems like it was intended to go with Adventure racing by the same editor, and it seems to be a private photo, not a copy of a commercial picture so copyright probably isn't an issue. Gzuckier 13:38, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
