Some ancient deletion request(s)

Hi, I'm currently working through Category:Media needing categories (Cyrillic names) and came across a file that was nominated for deletion in 2016: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Яблочки.jpg. You were the admin who closed the request as "kept", which is perfectly understandable given the nomination rationale. However, I've noticed that it was the uploader who nominated the file for deletion, and they did so within 7 days after upload, so maybe the file should have been deleted after all no matter the invalid reason for deletion? I haven't checked all files of that ulooader yet, however, they nominated at least another one of their then recent uploads for deletion and yet the files were kept. I don't know whether the files should be deleted retrospectively or not, just thought I'll bring it to your attention for consideration since there appear to be several affected files if you look through the uploader's contributions.

If I might chime in, my personal approach is that in cases where COM:CSD#G7 would have been applicable anyway and the uploader "mistakenly" filed a regular DR, I process the DR as a G7 case, that is, the uploader's wish is enough. But after so many years... - the image might now be in use by external users, I would rather keep it now. Gestumblindi (talk) 21:36, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's not in use, but it is a perfectly good image of apples, so I think we should keep it. . Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 21:39, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I pretty much agree with the two of you. It probably should have been handled as G7, but after so many years and with it being a decent photo, it's tricky. I wasn't sure how such a case should be handled that's why I asked. But it looks like there's consensus to keep it. Nakonana (talk) 19:41, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
