Undelete requests for files

I am not an admin, so I really can't do much. Both files were deleted as they were orphaned fair use images. Can you re-upload them? They need to have fair use rational added during the upload and the files need to be on their respective page. I don't know if they can be undeleted.

It's possible to undelete this image, but I don't believe that undeletion would be a good idea, because the image is merely a pair of random screenshots, and an image currently in the article, File:Super Mario 64 DS-gameplay.jpg, does a better job of fulfilling the same purpose.

You just created the description page, without uploading anything. Please don't create pages in the file namespace (any page beginning with "File:") except by uploading an image; if you create it by just entering text, the page will always qualify for immediate deletion.

My comments about Mario64dscourtyardlwm.jpg also apply to Fattymariosm64ds.jpg — the image currently in the article does a much better job of fulfilling the same purpose, and the fair-use criteria prohibit us from using two non-free images when one would suffice.

You didn't upload anything: you just created the description page. Uploads are performed by going to Special:Upload, selecting a file from your computer to upload, writing the description page there, and actually uploading the file. The description page is just a bunch of metadata for the file itself, and metadata without a file is useless; that's why it's subject to deletion. Nyttend (talk) 02:56, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Removing posts made by others

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Even making spelling and grammatical corrections in others' comments is generally frowned upon, as it tends to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:11, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
