File:KartaPPiNP.png

I'm currently doing a GA assessment of the Pirin National Park article on English Wikipedia. There is a map included among the files in the article; it appears to be a printed map which has had some blocks of color added to show where Bulgaria's various parks are located. My problem is this: I cannot see where the underlying map has been sourced, and I very much doubt that the uploader has created it himself/herself. Do I suggest it for deletion? Or is there somewhere where more knowledgeable editors can check this sort of thing? MeegsC (talk) 22:00, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

You are right that the underlying map is to be sourced. However, I would recommend to ask the uploader, Suffer Tedkov, first and give it some time before a deletion request is opened. --AFBorchert (talk) 04:42, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Did something go wrong with this request?

Hi, I don't have any experience with deletion requests, but something looks weird with this one. When I follow the link to the nomination page I don't end up on a discussion but on a deletion request for a project page, which doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Possibly I didn't grasp the concept of how this works... or something went wrong with the request. In that case, can someone please fix it? Thanks. --91.34.47.105 17:38, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Everything is fine, that is @Mef.ellingen instead of using "Nominate for deletion" link, unskillfully tried to fill deletion request(s) "manually". I have deleted malformed requests. --jdx Re: 18:17, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

Clarify wording for disputing a DR closed as "keep"

In §Appealing decisions:

If you disagree with an admin's decision to delete a file, or not to delete it...you can request a review by other admins on Commons:Undeletion requests (or if the file was kept, renominate it for deletion).

I recently disputed a "keep" decision and decided to appeal it. I had read this instruction as meaning Commons:Undeletion requests was available for both "delete" and "keep" closures, and renomination was a side-note alternative for "keep"s. At my Undeletion requests item, I was told that renomination is the route for "keep", with Undeletion requests only being for "delete". Proposed wording change:

If you disagree with an admin's decision to delete a file, or not to delete it...you can request a review by other admins on Commons:Undeletion requests for deleted files, or if the file was kept, renominate it for deletion.

Any thoughts? DMacks (talk) 04:50, 19 October 2017 (UTC)

Location of subsequent nominations

If a file is nominated for deletion a second (or more) time, should that subsequent nomination go on the same page as the original, as a new section on Commons:Deletion requests/pagename, or should it go on a separate page (Commons:Deletion requests/pagename/2 or similar)? The sidebar tools seem to do the former, whereas en.wp uses the latter. I don't see it documented anywhere, but given the cross-wiki userbase, we should make it clear how things happen "here". DMacks (talk) 05:58, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

@DMacks: It appears the "Nominate for deletion" tool performs well enough for our purposes, as its behavior in this regard has not been questioned before. I like having the history right there on the same page.   — Jeff G. ツ 07:02, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
@DMacks: You have nothing special to do, just use the "Nominate for deletion" button or the "Perform batch task" button as you do usually, and a sub-section is automatically created in the existing DR if any, exemple: Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:FoP-Italy or Commons:Deletion requests/File:Steinbjorn.JPG Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:26, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
I agree with Christian. Nothing special is needed to do. If new request is a new section of old request, then it is easier to look at old requests, including arguments pro and contra. Taivo (talk) 09:59, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

Problem

As still a relative newcomer I made a mistake. I set a Deletion request to the file Commons:Deletion requests/File:Alexander-huber.jpg, later I saw that I had to put a speedy deletion request to the file, because there is a apparent copyright violation. The right-holder of the pic is [© www.dav-summit-club.de] and not User Paolo.dL, who made the upload. ....HMS (talk) 12:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC) Perhaps, this is not the the page I can ask, how to change the request to a speedy request. Sorry. ....HMS (talk) 12:19, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

@PaulasBunt: Wouldn't fuss it, it will get managed. Always feel free to add the extra detail to the deletion request. I have done it on this case.  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:18, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Backlogged and receiving very little participation?

The "Deletion requests" process seems to have very little or no participation in many subpages. Also, it's backlogged. Furthermore, mass-nomination is sometimes, occasionally or rarely used but not often. Good examples are the following log date pages:

Last year, at English Wikipedia, PROD (7-day uncontested deletion process) was extended from articles to files. If Commons can't allow another 7-day deletion process, almost similar to {{subst:npd}} and {{subst:nsd}} but different from them, what else can be done about the backlogging and participation issues? George Ho (talk) 21:31, 11 March 2018 (UTC); replaced links, 20:20, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

The point being made here seems obscure, not helped by the archive links not showing a problem. What is the proposal? --Fæ (talk) 09:19, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for being less clear, Fæ. I just am concerned about subpages receiving less attention than they need. I've not known why there have been very few or no comments at many subpages, especially seen at Commons:Deletion requests/2018/03. Are people less interested in matters related to images? Is copyright not in people's best interests? Regardless, and nevertheless, I can think of the below proposals to resolve the huge backlogging of the process and very little participation:
Plan A: 7-day or 14-day uncontested deletion process similar to en.WP's PROD
Plan B: Inviting others at various wikis to participate, but then I figured that notifying others would be clutter
Plan C: If neither of the above would work, maybe re-discuss the Deletion Requests process at one of Village pump venues for more attention. That way, others can collaborate build a proper idea and proposal to have the process reformed.
Plan D: ...Can't think one at the moment
Thoughts about the plans? George Ho (talk) 20:11, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
I would be against an automatic PROD-equivalent. I would support a "DR plus" procedure where, as with case law, a ruling in a DR sets a referenceable default for speedy deletions to be allowed in identical circumstances, effectively extending the DR+ to these future cases. Such "case law" DRs would have to have sufficient participation to establish a consensus. This sort-of-happens already, for example with refining how de minimis is interpreted, however our current system for logging cases and encouraging them to be referenced is non-existent.
Areas where a case law approach would help are the classics of de minimis, 'unknown' vs. 'anonymous' in different countries, fringe cases for freedom of panorama, fringe cases for derived works and so on.
As with actual case law, they can be superseded and there would need to be a 'higher' process that might change policies and either crystalize case law or override it.--Fæ (talk) 20:47, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
I'm unsure how "DR+" would solve the backlogging. However, I figured that the process would looks like some sort of more complicated and more bureaucratic version of "speedy delete" process. I'm worried about how a user would be able to search for a subpage as a good precedent to nominate an image for deletion. Or maybe I don't know how your idea would turn out. That's my opinion. George Ho (talk) 21:43, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
We would follow the model of case law, new DR+ cases would be identified, perhaps numbered, and easily referenced from a central list. DR wikilawyers would be able to quickly link to them and discuss whether the DR in hand were sufficiently similar to the standard case. --Fæ (talk) 22:06, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't feel comfortable about the "DR+", but please feel free to build it, have others collaborate the process-building, and/or propose it at VP Proposal subpage if you like. George Ho (talk) 22:41, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I am also against an automatic PROD-equivalent. The only solution to the backlog is more (active) admins (as I have been saying for 10 years). Regards, Yann (talk) 05:07, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Having more very active administrators isn't the only solution. There are other ways, though I guess PROD-equivalent won't receive much support then. By the way, making admins more active than now would burden a lot of admins' time and health, wouldn't it? George Ho (talk) 14:36, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
  • Simple: Give the deletion button to a group of trusted non-admins. They should only delete images from what we used to call Category:Unused personal files. (These can have a special log, proposed DRs or without proposals. A special "soon-to-delete cat" perhaps. Find a practical solution.) An admin would be in charge to review their deletions -not immediately, whenever possible-

and make corrections in case of need. This will also serve as a test case for some admin candidacy pre-candidates. Looks simple from outside but I'm sure somebody will tell me something I don't know, therefore missed. (BTW don't count on me for such a job. :) --E4024 (talk) 14:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

More simple : those trusted non-admins should be candidate to the admin status. Christian Ferrer (talk) 18:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Please stop deleting files that are transcluded on Wikisource...

...without first also posting on s:Wikisource:Proposed Deletions.

@Beleg Tâl: unfortunately that is a general problem with any kind of deletion at Commons. The Commons deletion Notification Bot thingy people are working on over at phab:T167614 aims to solve that issue, so maybe it would be a good idea if wikisource would opt-in to that. Now would probably also be a good time to communicate with the developers about special requirements for your project (such as collecting all reports at s:Wikisource:Proposed deletions instead of posting messages to single pages that use a file). --El Grafo (talk) 14:54, 31 January 2019 (UTC)

Whould such a bot be a good idea here? Check nl:WP:TV's history and the contributions of Special:Contributions/Valhallasw-toolserver-botje for a quick check. Opinions? (BTW Verwijderlijst means Deletion list) NielsF 01:37, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

I like the idea but bots need aproval. I dont know that process though. Several people are working on this. :) --Cat out 08:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Do we need to archive speedy deletions?

Can we agree that we don't need to close and archive speedy deleted files? If you see a red-link image that was obviously speedy deleted, just remove its entry from the template. Do you agree?

Fred Chess 20:41, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Speedy deletions aren't normally archived, so if there is no debate I don't see the need to preserve it; it's in the deletion log with a reason for deletion. Cnyborg 21:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Umm if it is listed here it automaticaly has a sub page. Cant hurt to archive it for further referance (and not have an orphan). Such archivings are nothing urgent either. --Cat out 08:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Superseded

I have started a new (yet not so new) process for superceeded images. Since they are relatively easy to deal with (no lengthy debate). It merely lists the images to be deleted just like images per deletion on en.wiki and de.wiki. I have edited Template:SupersededSVG to accomodate the change/ Should reduce the load here. This was a bold move but I do not believe it was too terribly contraversial... --Cat out 08:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Maybe someone could help to reduce
a) the older discussions
and b) the "superseded" discussions. For one person the deletion task is to much.

I add this file File:Egypt_Palestine_UNRWA.png - I do not understand why it must be deleted.

Unreadable

Its simply impossible to read the TOC on a screen with much pixels ! the fontsize is too small. Please, change the fontsize of only 9px either to an larger size or to a relative value ( em for example) . Augiasstallputzer 10:57, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

You can increase the font size in your web browser if you are having difficulty viewing a page. In Firefox, it's as simple as scrolling the middle roller ball on your mouse, or you could use ctrl +. Not everyone can be accommodated. --Tom (talk - email) 13:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

I know to use my browser. The difference between this TOC and the other Text is too large. Either the TOC is too small or the other text is too large. A lot of user need to set a middle fontsize of 11 or 12 to read well (even when the eyes are ok) and therefore I am sure, that I am not alone with this problem. It's not ok, to create a unprofitable souce code and to compel users, to size up and down the font each change between reading TOC and reading the sections. Why not setting a relative font, (e.g 0.9 em) ? That sets the TOC-font to 90% of the other text and will solve the problem. Augiasstallputzer 08:20, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

excuse-me but can you tell me what you mean by TOC ? (Title of... chapter ?) For my very own case everything is finely sized. Jean-no 13:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

The table of content, the list of sections with the tiny font of only 9px. Augiasstallputzer 22:52, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't particular understand why the ToC is small in the first place, but it seems to me the best idea is to define it through css so that individual users can set it as small or as large as they like instead of this 'i like it this way, so everyone gets it this way!' approach.

Too many includes

I removed the logs for 8 and 7 days ago to bring down the amount of includes (it wouldn't render). Not sure if those need to now be included somewhere else though. Hopefully we can add those days back in when stuff gets archived. I've also asked that people begin substing their !vote templates as they bloat the include size; also DRBot may need to run more often to keep down the includes of closed DRs. Any further thoughts on this? Perhaps two logs - one for the past 5 days, and one for the 5 days before that? – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 21:45, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Commented out another day to make it render properly at COM:DR. – Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 20:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
That day came back, but I think it is time we merge Commons:Deletion requests and Commons:Deletion requests/Older Discussions to use links pointing to the relevant log pages.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 18:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

New format?

What is it with the new format? I find it very hard & annoying to find today's DR's, why can't the COM:DR page just list it, like it used to be? I'm sure I'm not the only one getting confused by this new format. --Kanonkas(talk) 18:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

We could have today's DRs transcluded, but the previous system didn't work for technical reasons (prior discussion is somewhat scattered, but easy enough to find) Linking to each day's log is better for several reasons, not the least of which being it works.  — Mike.lifeguard | @en.wb 21:41, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Fearless girl - Commons:Deletion requests/2019/10/09

Would it be possible, to unify the about 30 deletion requests for images of the fearless girl of today into a single request? It is always about FoP, therefore at least the one's concerning the USA will probably be decided with the same result and reasoning. --C.Suthorn (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

where is the "media description page" I'm supposed to be clicking on?

A file I'm using in an article File:Lois Ellen Frank-50 (cropped).jpg has been speedied for copyvio, but it's not a copyvio, it was uploaded by a professional photographer and has been used in other publications. I've removed the speedy template but now I'm supposed to open a deletion discussion, and the instructions say to go to the "media description page", but I don't see anything that says that. Thanks for any help! --Valereee (talk) 21:27, 17 October 2019 (UTC) ETA: I've contacted the uploader and asked her to come to her talk page at User talk:Daphnehougard. --Valereee (talk) 22:11, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I figured this out, and when I came back to edit the project page to make it clear what is meant by "media description page," I found I'm not able to. Would someone consider adding something like (the location of the file, such as File:Lois Ellen Frank-50.jpg) or something like that. I was looking AT THAT PAGE for something that said "Media Description" that I was supposed to click on. --Valereee (talk) 23:08, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
