Inaccurate range for European wildcat, which is also found in Turkey and the Caucasus. Thenabster126 (talk) 23:37, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Thenabster126: If you can link to an image of the European Wildcat's true range (e.g. not like [1], which combines the European and African Wildcats' ranges) then I can make a free rangemap to replace this. --PresN (talk) 01:47, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Would the current map on the Wikipedia page count?Thenabster126 (talk) 01:59, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
- The map is based on a reliable source and disagreement with a sourced map is not grounds for deletion. The taxonomy of wildcats and borders of different species/subspecies has been fluid so accepted opinions may change again. Furthermore, this map seems to give an appropriate range for the subspecies Felis silvestris silvestris as currently defined. However, the new map (only uploaded two days ago) does seem a better map to include for the species article, although unfortunately it gives no source for the range.

Keep: The file is in use on Wikipedia pages from af:Europese wildekat to vi:Mèo rừng châu Âu. Under COM:NPOV, Commons does not override other projects' decisions about what files to use, so it should not be deleted just because it's inaccurate. @Thenabster126: If you think it's inaccurate, you can:
- Discuss the matter on File talk:Leefgebied wilde kat 2.JPG
- Update the file description on File:Leefgebied wilde kat 2.JPG to note the inaccuracies
- Update Wikipedia pages to use a different map (maybe uploading that map first)
- Upload a new version of this file, but only if no-one objects (see COM:OVERWRITE)
- Deleting the file, however, is inappropriate. --bjh21 (talk) 19:19, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Kept: no valid reason for deletion: in use. --Yann (talk) 13:05, 19 August 2019 (UTC)
