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.

Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change 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Obsolete – The file has been replaced by a better version.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.
Possibly unfree – The file is tagged with a freeness claim, but may actually be eligible for copyright in the United States or the country of origin.
NFCC violation – The file is used under a claim of fair use but does not meet the requirements.
NFCC applied to free image – The file is used under a claim of fair use, but the file is either too simple, or is an image which has been wrongly labeled given evidence presented on the file description page.
Wrong license or status – The file is under one license, but the information on the file description pages suggests that a different license is more appropriate, or a clarification of status is desirable.
Wrongly claimed as own – The file is under a self license, but the information on the file description pages suggests otherwise.

If you have questions if something should be deleted, consider asking at Media Copyright Questions.

What not to list here

For concerns not listed below, if a deletion is uncontroversial, do not use this process. Instead tag a file with {{subst:prod}}. However, if the template is removed, please do not reinsert it; list the file for deletion then.
For speedy deletion candidates as well, 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:
1. {{subst:nsd}} if a file has no source indicated.
2. {{subst:nld}} if a file has a source but no licensing information.
3. {{subst:orfud}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but isn't used in any articles.
4. {{subst:rfu}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but could be replaced by a free file.
5. {{subst:dfu|reason}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but the rationale isn't sufficient or is disputed.
6. {{subst:nrd}} if a file has no non-free use rationale.
Redundant or duplicate files do not have to be listed here. Please use
1. {{db-f1|Full name of file excluding the "File:" prefix}} for speedy deletion if the other file is on Wikipedia, not on Commons
2. {{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}}.
If a file is listed as public domain or under a free license but lacks verification of this (either by a VRT ticket number or a notice on the source website), tag it as {{subst:npd}}.
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.
1. Redirects should be treated as in any other namespace: if no speedy deletion criteria apply, they should be listed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.
2. Local description pages with no associated file are speedy-deletable under criterion G8; use {{db-imagepage}}.
3. Local description pages for files hosted on Commons are usually speedy-deletable under criterion F2 if there is no content relevant to Wikipedia; use {{db-fpcfail}}.
4. Any other local description pages for files hosted on Commons 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 discussion

Use Twinkle. If you can't, follow these steps to do manually:

1	Edit the file page. Add `{{Ffd\|log=2023 June 6}}` to the file page.
2	Create its FfD subsection. Follow 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=}}` for each additional file. You may use this tool to quickly generate Ffd2a listings. Also, add `{{Ffd\|log=2023 June 6}}` to the top of the file page of each file other than the first one nominated.
3	Give due notice. Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using `{{subst:Ffd notice\|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:Ffd notice multi\|First_file.ext\|Second_file.ext\|Third_file.ext}}` `~~~~` (can handle up to 26) If the image is in use, also consider adding `{{FFDC\|File_name.ext\|log=2023 June 6}}` 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, 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:

Delete. Orphaned with no foreseeable encyclopedic usage.
Delete. Replaced by File:FILE2.
Free (public domain) file may actually be eligible for copyright in the United States. This photograph was actually first published in 1930, not 1924.
Remove from ARTICLE1 and ARTICLE2. The file only meets WP:NFCC#8 with its use in ARTICLE3.
Non-free file may actually be free. This logo does not seem to meet the threshold of originality to be eligible for copyright in the United States and should actually be tagged free using {{PD-logo}}.

Some common reasons for deletion or removal from pages are:

Obsolete – The file has been replaced by a better version. Indicate the new file name.
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}}.
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).
Low quality – The image 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.
Possibly unfree file – The file marked as free may actually be non-free. If the file is determined to be non-free, then it will be subject to the non-free content criteria in order to remain on Wikipedia.
Non-free file issues – The non-free file may not meet all requirements outlined in the non-free file use policy, or may not be necessary to retain on Wikipedia or specific articles due to either free alternatives or better non-free alternative(s) existing.
File marked as non-free may actually be free – The file is marked non-free, but may actually be free content. (Example: A logo may not eligible for copyright alone because it is not original enough, and thus the logo is considered to be in the public domain.)

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.

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

Image fails WP:NFCC. Per point #9, there is no sourced, critical commentary of the cover image, just a passing mention that he was on the cover. —C.Fred (talk) 03:08, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete as WP:DECORATIVE non-free use per WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and item #9 of WP:NFC#UUI. The simple descriptive statement "Coombs was featured on the cover of the November 20, 1972 issue of New York Magazine." in Orde M. Coombs#Biography isn't really even close the type of sourced critical commentary required by WP:NFCC#8. Moreover, simply adding that statement together with a {{citation needed}} template as part of the same edit so as to try and justify the file's non-free use kind shows a very superficial understanding (at best) or not only WP:NFCC but also WP:BURDEN. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:30, 30 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Nigel the gardening dog.jpg

Fails NFCC criteria #8 because the inclusion of this image does not significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic (the dog's owner), and its omission would not be detrimental to that understanding.

The dog in question is discussed in one paragraph in the article on the owner, and there's no visual component to that description that would need to be illustrated. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 06:15, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Keep: the two paragraphs on Nigel illustrate that he is the subject of a book by Don and regularly appeared on Gardeners' World, making his likeness encyclopedic. A quick search shows there is a lot of potentially usable coverage of Nigel even in sources written years after his death e.g. [4], [5], [6]. — Bilorv (talk) 10:02, 31 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Zulu Baker Caine.gif

The screenshot is used in the Cast section of Zulu (1964 film). There is no fair use rationale for its use in the film article. The image fails WP:NFCC#3a since the poster already illustrates the article and there is no critical commentary of the image itself, it does nothing to increase the reader's understanding of the film and its exclusion is not detrimental to the understanding of the film, thereby failing WP:NFCC#8. Aspects (talk) 03:15, 1 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The fair use rationale was removed at some point - it was there in the original upload.

The poster illustrates the film as a whole, this image illustrates the two major performers and characters in the cast, a different functions altogether. The claim that seeing images of the film's major stars does not inform the reader is fatuous at best.

Typical for Aspects, they would rather delete images than correct the faults in their paperwork. This is ironic given that their own paperwork is faulty in this FtD nomination: the image was uploaded by me, yes, but not using my current "Beyond My Ken" account, using a former "Before My Ken" account.

Comment: How can this be copyrighted if it was published before 1928 as the file info states? The Quirky Kitty (talk) 01:19, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@The Quirky Kitty, where the sketch was first published is unknown, and I've done a great deal of digging to try to find an answer, but to no avail. The sketch, along with hundreds of Picasso's other works, were re-copyrighted in 1997 using the URAA, which allowed foreign works to restore copyright IF they were copyrighted in their home country in 1996. Picasso's works were copyrighted in France in 1996, as he'd only died about 20 years earlier. That's as much as I understand- if I'm mistaken, please do correct me. MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 20:06, 2 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Weak keep. I would like to see evidence of publication (not creation) before 1928. But if the uploader is correct about the publication date, URAA restoration only lasts until the copyright would have expired if the work had originally been published in the US.

File:Monobook-bullet-star.png

Bit of a test case here - this file is supposedly hosted locally b/c it's used in the system message MediaWiki:Gadget-featured-articles-links.css. Except that that system message actually uses the upload-protected file on Commons. Instead our file is used on MediaWiki:Gadget-featured-articles-links, but do we really need a fully protected local file when the Commons one is already protected? It's not a very prominent system message. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:06, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment: I think the rationale for having a protected local file is that it acts as a backup in case something happens to the Commons file. Commons isn't always coordinated with local projects, and things could break if the Commons file is moved or deleted. Ixfd64 (talk) 16:35, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I know that this is the rationale, but that's why the Commons file is protected (other projects use it in their system messages) and I don't think anything has ever happened to these. Less common than folks having to edit the local file, anyway. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 19:17, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This logo only consists of simple shapes and their content license are CC-BY and CC-BY-SA. Does it mean this logo fails NFCC? Should we transfer it to Commons or delete this logo? Vitaium (talk) 02:00, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No, we just change the license.

If someone initially thought a file was non-free, but we then realize it's free, perhaps because it's available under a free license (as in this case), it's too simple to be copyrighted, or the copyright expires, we don't need to delete it, just update the info.

File:MasterEdithOlympian.JPG

The United States Olympic Committee is not a government agency, but a separate nonprofit entity (it's a QuaNGO). Unfortunately, that means that the employees are not acting on behalf of the United States Federal Government under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the U.S. Code. That this is not a U.S. government work is contested at MCQ, where I first saw this, so I'm bringing it here for discussion at the proper venue so that we can attain consensus to label this file as non-free. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 16:48, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete: I started the aforementioned discussion about this at MCQ because I was pretty sure the file was incorrectly licensed. While that discussion was going on, the uploader re-uploaded the same file as the non-free File:MasterEdithOlympicNewFile.JPG. There was no real need to do that since the licensing and description of the PD could've simply just been changed. At this point, there's no need for two identical files and this probably should be deleted unless there's some reason why it should be kept in favor of the non-free one. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:44, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Photos associated with National Register of Historic Places nominations are typically taken by private individuals, as appears to be the case here, and are not PD as US government works.

File:Philip Connard NPG 4702.jpg

While it's easy to understand why the uploader chose to upload this as non-free given the EXIF data showing a copyright claim being made by the National Portrait Gallery, London, it doesn't seem that this is anything other than a case of c:COM:2D copying that can be relicensed as {{PD-Art}} for Wikipedia's purposes per c:COM:PD-Art. It seems quite clear from National Portrait Gallery and Wikimedia Foundation copyright dispute that the WMF doesn't acknowledge that copyright claims of the NPG with respect to digitalizations of PD paintings. So, unless there's something quite different about this particular painting here, there seems to be no reason for this too not to be PD and OK for Commons, especially given the fact that c:Category:Images from the National Portrait Gallery, London contains 5,308 other NPG sourced paintings or works of art. Suggest Convert to PD-Art and move to Commons. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:12, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment: Philip Connard died in 1958 according to our article, so his paintings don't go into public domain in the UK until 2029. c:COM:PD-Art only applies to artworks in the public domain in both the US and country of origin, so we have a few years yet before Connard's works are acceptable. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 13:34, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- I forgot the UK follows a 70 p.m.a rule. In that case, it would still be worth discussing whether this can be treated as {{PD-US-expired-abroad}} for local use only on English Wikipedia instead of as non-free. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:20, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Peggy Moffitt in Rudi Gernreich monokini swimsuit 1964.jpg

Non-free image being used in Monokini, Peggy Moffitt and Rudi Gernreich#Monokini, but only the first use in the "Monokini" article seem justifiable per WP:NFCC.

This photo is being used for primary identification purposes in the main infobox of "Monkini" and that particular use seems appropriate because it's this particular photo that seems to show the first design of the monokini and of any women's topless swimsuit. The image itself seems to be more than sufficiently supported by sourced critical commentary and well as being representative of the "monokini" design a a whole to more than adequately meet WP:NFCC#1 (WP:FREER) andWP:NFCC#8 (WP:NFC#CS); in other words, it's probably the iconic image when it comes to the monokini. Absent a stand-alone article about the photo itself, this non-free use seems to be the closest of the three uses where the non-free use seems justified per the NFCC.

The use in "Peggy Moffitt" has NFCC#1 and NFCC#8 issues. Moffitt is still living and generally non-free images of still living persons aren't allowed per FREER and item 1 of WP:NFC#UUI. So, it seems that the file's non-free use in the main infobox is in appropriate per the NFCC. Moving the file to Peggy Moffitt#Monokini also has NFCC#1 and NFCC#8 issues. There's a hatnote at the top of that section that leads to "Monokini" and most of the content in the Moffitt article seems to be pretty much the same as in Monokini#Origins so it's hard to see how this non-free use is justified.

The use in the Gernreich article is similar to the use in the Moffit article in that most of the content is the same as what's in the Monokini article and there's also a hatnote to that article. So, it's hard to see how this use too meets NFCC#1 and NFCC#8.

Suggest Keep for the monokini article, but Remove for the other two articles. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:43, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Comment - Wouldn't the existence of File:Rudi Gernreich 1964 wool monokini, exhibited at 'The Vulgar' at Modemuseum Hasselt 2018 (crop).jpg and File:Rudi Gernreich c.1964 monokini, exhibited at 'The Vulgar' at Modemuseum Hasselt 2018.jpg negate the fair-use of this photo aside from an article specifically about the photo itself? (Asking because I really don't know.) BilCat (talk) 03:57, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
- It looks to me that there's enough discussion in monokini specifically of Moffitt and the photographs of her modelling it to justify one of those photographs in the article – though the association may be clearer if that photo were used to illustrate Monokini#Origins (in which case one of the exhibition photos you link could replace it in the infobox) Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 13:26, 5 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Parkinson's Law Book.jpg

The file is the book cover of Parkinson's Law: The Pursuit of Progress, which is used in the article of Parkinson's law. As the article is about the general concept but not the book, it's inclusion may violate point 9 of WP:NFC#UUI. This is especially true as the concept is not first introduced by this book. Moreover, it has limited contextual significance: a paragraph in the article (The essay was ... other countries too.) is sufficient in demonstrating the book's popularity.

The file therefore violates WP:NFC#UUI point 9 and WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 10:24, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:KletzBiography.gif

The file is the cover of Trevor Kletz's bibliography, which is used for identification purposes (presumably identifying the person). As we already have c:File:Trevor Kletz, Manchester 2010 1.jpg and c:File:Trevor Kletz, Manchester 2010 2.jpg on Commons that depicts the person (although some cropping is needed), the file therefore constitutes a clear violation of WP:NFCC#1, and should therefore be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 10:31, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
