Files for discussion (FfD) is for listing images and other media files which may be unneeded or have either free content or non-free content usage concerns. Files that have been listed here for more than 7 days are eligible for either deletion or removal from pages if either a consensus to do so has been reached or the nominator specifically requests deletion or removal and no objections are 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." 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What not to list here[edit]
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Instructions for listing files for discussion Use Twinkle. If you can't, follow these steps to do manually:
State the reasons why the file should be deleted, removed, or altered. Also, state what specific action should be taken, preferably in bold text; this allows discussion participants and closers to better understand the purpose of the nomination. Some examples of nomination statements include:
Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change here:
These are not the only "valid" reasons to discuss a file. Any properly explained reason can be used. The above list comprises the most common and uncontroversial ones. 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. If you have general questions about a file and/or its copyright status, then please start a new thread at Media Copyright Questions. |

Instructions for discussion participation[edit]
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[edit]
Nominations should be processed for closing after being listed for 7 days following the steps here.
Old discussions[edit]
The following discussions are more than 7 days old and are pending processing by an administrator:
For older nominations, see the archives.
Discussions approaching conclusion[edit]
Discussions with at least 6 full days since nomination. After 7 days, they may be closed.

File:Dionne Warwick – A House Is Not a Home (song).jpg[edit]
- File:Dionne Warwick – A House Is Not a Home (song).jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by OriginalCyn3000 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Previously nominated for deletion eight years ago but was kept by default. The French EP sleeve (discogs) is now replaceable by this freer image: File:A house is not a home dionne warwick US single side-B.png. George Ho (talk) 02:44, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
File:China national under-23 football team.svg[edit]
- File:China national under-23 football team.svg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by EtVVV (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This is just the Chinese flag + File:China national football team.svg below it. The articles that use this file are child entities of the men's and women's national team, respectively, which use the logo without the flag. Under WP:NFC#UUI17, non-free logos of child entities may only be used if they have a seperate logo to the parent entity. I have a hard time seing that the addition of the Chinese flag above the logo would make this a seperate logo, hence I think it should be deleted per UUI17. Jonteemil (talk) 17:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Insufficient fair use rationale. The subject is alive and is used on a video game developer page he is associated with. Spy-cicle💥 Talk? 22:38, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails WP:NFCC#1. ww2censor (talk) 10:11, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Per WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8. Subject of image is alive - so would not be impossible for free image to be taken. Subject of image (person) is not subject of article (company) - so omission would not be detrimental to understanding of article on company. (Note: Rationale given speaks to "use of a low resolution screenshot from software or a website" that won't "impact the commercial viability of the software or [web]site". This rationale doesn't fit the image or its use.) Guliolopez (talk) 10:56, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

File:200years.png[edit]
- File:200years.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Brian.S.W (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The license plate contains graphic elements that are above the threshold of originality. It is not a U.S. government work as it is designed by the state of Louisiana, which does not automatically release its works into public domain. Image is not used anywhere.

File:112 Somerville Street, Andersons Bay, Dunedin.jpeg[edit]
- File:112 Somerville Street, Andersons Bay, Dunedin.jpeg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Kiwiz1338 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This non-free image is not the subject of any significant sourced commentary in the article. In particular, there is nothing in the article that discusses the "environment that influenced Tarrant's thoughts" as claimed in the purpose. Fails WP:NFCC#8. Whpq (talk) 03:34, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NFCC#8. We do not need a picture of the specific computer, and nothing about that fair use rationale suggests an encyclopedic purpose for this image. hinnk (talk) 18:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
File:Ph Philippine Archipelago.png[edit]
- File:Ph Philippine Archipelago.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Toto11zi (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
No forseeable use, except to apparently nullify the content of the article Treaty of Washington (1900), especially in the context of Philippine President Bongbong Marcos mentioning this treaty as a strong basis for the territorial extent of the Philippines, inclusive of disputed areas (Spratlys and Scarboroughs), Tawi-Tawi, Sulu, and some outlying islands like Tubbataha and Cagayan de Sulu (now Mapun town), which were not included in the first treaty from 1898. Map misrepresents the legal extent of the Philippine territory as per the 1898, 1900, and 1930 treaties. Map is not usable and out of scope of Wikimedia Commons so do not transfer.

File:2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier logo.png[edit]
- File:2023 ICC Women's T20 World Cup Asia Qualifier logo.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Crickdreamer (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This looks to be a generic logo, not a logo specifically for the 2023 event, and thus violates WP:GETTY point 14 and WP:NFCC#8. Nothing on this logo is 2023 specific as it has no reference to the year 2023 on it. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- But it is the logo specific to the event, whether it states the year in the logo or not. The 2022 logo looks different, as far as I can tell, https://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/icc-world-cup-2022-schedule-get-full-womens-world-cup-schedule-indian-team-fixtures-date-result-here-1608020469-1 MüllerMarcus (talk) 14:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- No, it's a generic logo used in 2023 that could be used again should the ICC choose to, as nothing ties it to 2023 only (even the sponsor could be the same in 2025, so they could use this logo again). Many similar logos with no year references have been deleted too. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:26, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep: We don't know what will happen in 2025 for sure (WP:CRYSTAL); If the same logo is used in 2025, then only we should delete it; otherwise it should be kept. Vestrian24Bio (TALK) 13:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗plicit 23:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - As currntly used, the logo is for one specific year. That this may change in the future is speculative. No prejudice to a future nomination if it does get used for multiple years. -- Whpq (talk) 18:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

Hearing the sample over and over, I still don't see it contextually signifying the song or elements of it. Also, identifying ≠ signifying. George Ho (talk) 23:41, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Rod Stewart - Your Song.png[edit]
- File:Rod Stewart - Your Song.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by SnapSnap (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
Cover art of modestly or less successful (or lesser known) cover recording, despite being charted, of an Elton John song. Unconvinced that the cover art improves understanding of the previously recorded song or the cover recording itself. Unconvinced that omitting this image would impact such understanding. May not contextually signify the song at all. George Ho (talk) 05:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Keep since this is a song cover of a notable cover version that if they were the original song would pass WP:GNG and WP:NSONG, charting on five national charts and two national subcharts, thus it an acceptable fair use and passes WP:NFCC#8. Aspects (talk) 23:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Beit Jala Palestina 1937.png[edit]
- File:Beit Jala Palestina 1937.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by AlejandroFC (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The file is a photograph of a Palestinian family before moving to Peru, as used in the article Arab Peruvians. The article's description only mentions the family's departure to Peru, which makes the file an illustration without contextual significance.
Moreover, as a sizable community with over 10K population, we could have use other free files like images of mosques or community activities to replace this image. The file therefore violates WP:NFCC#1 and WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 03:49, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Update It appears that this anonymous image created in 1937 could be in public domain (50 years after publication) according to c:COM:Palestine and c:COM:Israel (the file is photographed in Beit Jala, which is in modern-day Palestinian Authority jurisdiction). This means the file would be in local public domain in 1987 (1937+50), and could catch up with the URAA date. Request changed to restore original version and move to Commons.廣九直通車 (talk) 03:59, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
File:Autogolpe Lima 1992.jpg[edit]
- File:Autogolpe Lima 1992.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by AlejandroFC (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The file is an image showing the military occupying the Government Palace during the 1992 Peruvian self-coup from the AFP. As a self-coup with the aid of the military, the details of military deployment has been thoroughly mentioned in the article. The file's presence is not detrimental to the reader's understanding, and in fact it does not illustrate the point that Fujimori, with the aid of the military, liquidates the legislature with force. The file therefore fails WP:NFC#UUI and WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 04:12, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Might be PD. Peru does not copyright simple photographs, but it is not clear how that is defined. See c:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Peru#Simple photographs and note the bullet point: "In 2008 the court determined that press snapshots of sporting, political or weather events lack originality for lack of prior preparation in their production. See Resolution No 2521-2008/TPI-Indecopi, Agencia Efe S.A. v Las Rosas Editorial S.A.C." Wikiacc (¶) 00:31, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Possible derivative work problem: image is mainly focused on the illuminated billboard screen broadcasting the audio-visual advertising material belonging to Mercury Drug drugstore chain. In effect, becoming a "screenshot" of the advertising material. I previously raised this concern at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions/Archive/2024/June#Mercury Drug LED screen, with no response.

This image was uploaded by Sir MemeGod under a CC BY-SA 2.0 license, but under the summary section they said "Author unknown, other info unknown".

I uploaded the image as "PD-ineligible-USonly". I've recently discussed at Commons (oldid) one of Parlophone Records's logos and the "45 R.P.M." one on the label, hoping that both of the logos are below the UK's originality standards. I guess I could be wrong, especially if one of the logos seen in the label is found ineligible for Commons transfer. George Ho (talk) 10:07, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
