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

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:
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
Nominations should be processed for closing after being listed for 7 days following the steps here.

File:Northern Group of Forces.jpg
- File:Northern Group of Forces.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Piotrus ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
The file is an image showing Soviet officials inspecting soldiers from the Northern Group of Forces, in which the uploader only stated "to illustrate the military formation in question
" as the sole rationale.
However, the file provided no information on the formation and organization of the troops (for example, an order of battle made from openly-available sources are more useful in conveying such information.), and otherwise, the file functions as a replaceable graphic illustration to the article. It's therefore doubted whether the file's inclusion will significantly increase readers' understanding on the article. The file violates WP:NFCC#8, and should be deleted. 廣九直通車 (talk) 07:49, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. It illustrates the concept of soldiers, which is a different type of message than an order of battle infographic would be. It can only be replaced by a free image showing the troops. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:42, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep Due to Russian copyright laws, it is almost impossible to find free images of Soviet troops during this period. This image is practically not replaceable by a free image for that reason. Kges1901 (talk) 17:19, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- OK, I misunderstood "formation" as "formation and organization of the group", but what makes images of Soviet soldiers in Poland important to the understanding towards the article? The image only highlights soldiers from the Northern Group. Without proper enquiry one won't even know they are from the Northern Group garrisoned in Poland (rather than some random Soviet soldiers).
- This case is somehow similar to a previous FFD request for the AP Tank Man image, in which it is decided that any other usage on June Fourth Incident-related pages (except the Tank Man page, which is central and irreplacable to the topic) are deleted for NFCC8. Both images are side-note illustrations to the topics described that are not central to the main topic (Tank Man in illustrating military actions and bloodshed in the June Fourth Incident, and this nominated image in illustrating the Northern Group in general). Unless this nominated image is itself a topic described in its article (clearly not this case), or used to illustrate a historical moment, then I consider the file did fail the requirement of NFCC8.廣九直通車 (talk) 11:48, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
- Keep clearly encyclopedic and serves to illustrate the subject at hand. I see no valid reason for deletion listed here. Buffs (talk) 04:03, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Refute As another related example, please consider this file deleted by a FFD request, which is an image depicting the moment when the Hong Kong Garrison entered Hong Kong. From the "keep" position, the image is certainly encyclopedic and illustrates the subject well, but is nevertheless agreed by the deleting administrator as an addition instead of a crucial part to the article it was used (so NFCC8 is violated).廣九直通車 (talk) 13:14, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

- That permission is wrong as well. Unlike US copyright law, Chinese copyright law only mandates that government edicts that have executive, legislative or judicial nature are in their local public domain. I've seen enough files blatantly misusing PD-PRC-exempt on Commons.廣九直通車 (talk) 08:12, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- It's pretty obvious that both images are copyrighted. From a quick click around List of aircraft carriers, it seems that our general practice is to permit a non-free logo/patch/shield/whatever to be used, so keep. --B (talk) 18:30, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Except it isn't. From your given list, most of the ship badges are freely released, like the typical US federal government public domain for US carriers, or GJSTU for modern Japanese carriers. Some badges have wrongly applied permissions, like c:File:INS Viraat (R22) crest.jpg (Indian GODL doesn't allow free use of badges, crests, logos, etc.: c:Template:GODL-India). The only case where non-free ship badges are applied are the Royal Navy aircraft carriers. So I don't see such "general practice" you claimed.廣九直通車 (talk) 05:53, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- I wasn't looking at ones from the US (which are obviously all PD). Most of the logos are at Commons and probably not legitimately PD (should be deleted at Commons and considered for upload here). But you can see some fair use ones for non-US ships - HMS Queen Elizabeth (R08), HMS Ark Royal (R07), HMS Illustrious (R06), HMS Invincible (R05) --B (talk) 10:12, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

File:Armenia- NATO cooperation.jpg
- File:Armenia- NATO cooperation.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Archives908 ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This non-free image is for "Visual representing Armenia-NATO relations". The image is not the subject of significant sourced commentary and its removal would not detract from a reader's understanding of the subject. Fails WP:NFCC#8. Whpq (talk) 15:58, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Keep. The image coincides with text in the article discussing a high level meeting between the NATO SG and Armenian Ambassador. Serves as the primary (and only) visual highlighting the relationship between the two sides. Archives908 (talk) 16:42, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's not a valid reason for keeping. It could simply be deleted under WP:CSD#F7 as a patently invalid fair use claim. Fair use does not mean "I'd like to use this professional photo to make my website look pretty and not pay money for it". In order for a news media photo to be valid "fair use", it generally needs to be a transformative use in some way. If you use a photo like The Falling Man for commentary ON THAT PHOTO ITSELF, it's valid fair use. If you use it merely because it is helpful to illustrate gravity, it is not fair use. --B (talk) 18:18, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

- Keep When I uploaded this image fourteen years ago, it was the only released image of the subject in question. However, in that time, I have come to learn that the program itself What's My Line was broadcast without a copyright notice and therefore immediately entered the public domain upon airing. This image is certainly of better quality, and without a doubt should be the main image. However, as one of his most well-known appearances, I think it still fits into the article and would do well to compliment the section on media appearances. HarlandQPitt 22:12, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- @HarlandQPitt: Thank you so much for the response. Since you mentioned that the episode doesn't have a copyright notice, it does fit Public Domain per "PD-Pre1978". Therefore, the image should be moved to Wikipedia Commons once this discussion closes. When I first opened up the discussion, I assumed it was a non-free image since it was only posted on Wikipedia.

File:Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone.ogg
- File:Kenny Loggins - Danger Zone.ogg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Popcornfud ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
De-PRODded sample is used in Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins song) and Yamaha DX7. If the song article is an adequate commentary to justify such usage, then... I would accept. However, I hear only 17 seconds of instrumental opening, so I wonder whether it helps readers understand the song as it is. Maybe it should belong in the article about the synthesizer used in the song. I'm unsure whether deleting the sample detriments the understanding of the song and/or the synthesizer. I default to favor deleting the sample from the whole project, but I can welcome rebuttals and other opinions. George Ho (talk) 22:36, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm the editor who uploaded this file. I uploaded it as an example of a famous use of a famous synthesizer, the Yamaha DX7, for the Yamaha DX7 article. Specifically, the file demonstrates the use of the synthesizer's "BASS 1" preset, which is mentioned (and cited) in the prose of the article. I thought it would be helpful for readers to hear the synth in context.
- Legal stuff on Wikipedia is not my strong point, so I'll leave it up to other editors to decide whether this meets fair use criteria - I thought it did at the time I uploaded it, but I may well have been wrong. Cheers. Popcornfud (talk) 17:03, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

I understand I have to show compliance with US copyright laws which are different ( even though the photo is of a Canadian and taken in Canada with no connection to the USA) and imposed on the rest of the world by Wikipedia.

- File:CDawgVA-YouTube.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Washuotaku ( | contribs | uploads | upload log).
This non-free image is being used for visual identification of CDawgVA, a youtuber. The Youtuber is a living person, and so an alternative identification, in the form of a photo can be made that is freely licensed, and so this usage fails WP:NFCC#1. The youtuber has multiple youtube channels. This image is only used as an identifying icon on one of the many channels. As such, it is not really identifying the person, but rather a specific youtube channel. This image is not the subject of significant sourced commentary, and so also fails WP:NFCC#8.

Doubtful own work per uploader's talk. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 02:16, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Delete - The uploader's history of copyright violations doesn't provide a lot of confidence that the claim of own work is true. The image was uploaded in 2011, but I found a video on Youtube from 2009 that uses the same image when showing off Celine Dion's home.

The source of the file is vague ("Source - National Historical Museum of Bulgaria."), and I found nothing about this allegedly historical drawing on the museum's website.
This unknown website reuses this image and its description verbatim, and gives a reference. However, said reference (I managed to find a scan only here) does not contain the image.
It is possible the image is an original, recent, copyrighted image, in the style of old paintings.
The image is currently unused.
Therefore, I think this image should be deleted. Veverve (talk) 08:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - The description of the image above on the unknown website is in fact the book: Macedonia: documents and materials, published by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 1978. A fragment of the restored mantel can be seen in this publication in the tabloid 24 Chasa, dedicated to the secret fund of the National Historical Museum. It falls into it, and thus is exposed very rarely. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jingiby (talk • contribs)
- @Jingiby: Thank you for your input and details.
- Since you are its original uploader, is there any chance you remember where exactly you took this image from, years ago? Is it from Macedonia: documents and materials, or is the "unknown website" reusing the very image you uploaded?
- Is there a way you could upload a higher resolution version of the image? Frankly, I have no idea what's represented apart from 5 angels; if you told me it was a scene of the Resurrection of Jesus I would not be able to say it is not. To me, due to this, the image in any case not very useful. Veverve (talk) 20:07, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Misleading or false image (possibly fictional, name of the modern artist visible [3]) - Self published eulogy in a magazine. Prominent newspaper in Kerala refused to publish the unverified image here [4] (by the same author) - Mahmoodeu (talk) 11:35, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Source says [5] "unearthed a rare and perhaps the only photograph of Vakkom Moulavi" - the image uploaded is a painting, not a photograph!
