***# I don't know what you mean. Only one image was available, and it's smaller now anyway.

*** It is fair use because it is being used in a highly original work, for non-profit purposes, to say "here's how ITV portrayed Jeeves and Wooster." It will have a negligible impact on ITV's profit from the series, which now consists entirely of DVDs - a still picture isn't worth much to anyone. Hope that covers your questions.

*** This is a flagrant, blatant copyright violation. Some have said it was released, while providing no evidence. It is a photograph taken in 1990 so clearly copyright exists.

Revision as of 01:48, 23 January 2005

This page is only for listing images which are duplicates or otherwise unneeded. For copyright infringements, use Wikipedia:Copyright problems. For licensing issues that are not copyright infringements, use Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images.

Articles that have been listed for more than one week are eligible for deletion if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to its deletion have been raised. Such images should be dealt with as soon as possible.

As per the speedy deletion policy, administrators can delete on sight "[a]n image which is a redundant (all bits the same or scaled-down) copy of something else on Wikipedia and as long as all inward links have been changed to the image being retained." This does not include visually similar pictures, such as PNG versions of JPEG images. Such images should be listed here instead. For the time being, this also does not include photos copied to Wikimedia Commons.

Deletion guidelines for administrators -- deletion log -- List of empty images

Listing instructions

To list an image on this page, simply add it to the bottom. If it is an obsoleted image, please also list the image that it is obsoleted by, in the format "[[:Image:Foo.jpg]] - obsoleted by [[:Image:Bar.jpg]]".

If you remove an image from an article, you should list the article from which you removed it, so there can be effective community review of whether or not the image should be deleted. This is necessary because image pages do not remember the articles the images used to be used on.

Add the following message to the top of any image page listed on this page: {{ifd}}, which shows up as:

This template should only be used on file pages.

On this page, state the reasons that the image should be deleted. Some people like to use the following abbreviations:

  • AB (absentee uploader} - the uploader has not contributed to Wikipedia in a long time, and is probably unavailable to answer questions.
  • CV (copyright violation) - the image might be used in violation of copyright, or else there is no copyright info provided
  • NE (not English) - the image contains text that is not English.
  • OB (obsolete) - the image has been replaced by a better version.
  • OF (out-of-focus) - the image is blurry.
  • OR (orphan} - the image is not used on any pages in Wikipedia.
  • UE (unencyclopedic) - the image doesn't seem likely to be useful in an encyclopedia

Please sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~

Instructions for administrators

Before deleting an image, please make sure of the following:

  • That the image has been listed on this page for one week or longer
  • That no objections to its deletion have been raised, or that a consensus to delete has been reached
  • That the image is not used in any articles (note that "What links here" is not currently reliable)
  • That the image is not currently being processed as a copyright violation

To delete an image, open the image page and click either the link, "Delete all revisions of this image" or the usual "delete" tab at the top of the page. Either will work. (This was not the case in previous versions of the software.)

Also, please specify the reason for deletion in your deletion summary. Examples:

Orphaned and obsoleted, listed on IfD since (date)
Orphaned copyright violation, listed on IfD since (date)

If you delete an image listed on this page, please remove the listing and note your removal in your edit summary.

When deleting an image because an identically named image exists in the Wikimedia Commons, make sure to preserve the image description. Otherwise the image will still be shown but the page will also say "This page does not exist".

What links here is not reliable!

The "What links here" tool is broken for images. Do not rely on what links here to determine whether an image is unused! You must use the Wikipedia internal search engine, with all namespaces selected, to confirm that an image is unused in the English-language Wikipedia. You should also be alert for signs that the image is used in other languages, some of which use external links to include images from en. See BUG 85 for the current status of this issue.

Listings older than one week

These need additional information or more opinions before consensus can be determined.

  • The following chess images are nice, but they have no copyright info and may be infringements. They are probably unicode chess symbols in some font, but who knows if the font is copyrighted. They are all orphans. Image:Chess black bishop.png, Image:Chess black king.png, Image:Chess black knight.png, Image:Chess black pawn.png, Image:Chess black queen.png, Image:Chess black rook.png, Image:Chess white bishop.png, Image:Chess white king.png, Image:Chess white knight.png, Image:Chess white pawn.png, Image:Chess white queen.png, and Image:Chess white rook.png. Also, here's a similar collection, an orphan, no copyright info: Image:Chess symbols.PNG. – Quadell (talk) (help) 19:22, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
    • Hold it. They were uploaded by a longtime user (Merphant). Isn't it at least worth the effort to leave a message on the talk page? Especially since the user has responded to them before? (Your request, even.) There's no need for the slash-and-burn attitude; it would be understandable if these came from a three-edit user we'll never see again---and even then it should probably be listed on copyright problems first---but there are alternatives prior to listing possibly useful images on IFD. I've left a message on the user's talk page. grendel|khan 03:41, 2005 Jan 4 (UTC)\
      • Thanks. By the way, I tend to think of speedy-delete as slash-and-burn, while this is more a place for review-and-comment. I left a note for Monedula about that same group of images, but forgot to leave one for Merphant. Certainly no insult was meant. – Quadell (talk) (help) 18:44, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)
    • Definitely give Merpant some time to provide source/copyright info, perhaps beyond the standard 7 day period. RedWolf 03:56, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merphant says that they come from a PD book. However, the linked works have been re-typeset, so the books themselves aren't really the issue; the chessboards have all been re-typeset with the same package. (I can't tell for sure, but the PDFs use some rather good typesetting, with hyphenation. I tentatively guess that they're done with some sort of TeX-based engine, but not LaTeX chess, as the boards are similar, but the characters don't match up. Quadell has done a bunch of research and discovered that bitmapped versions of the fonts aren't even copyrightable in the United States. (This sort of discovery should probably be checked out and put somewhere prominent so we don't go through this again.) I believe that all of this means that the chess images should be tagged either PD-ineligible or PD-US (the latter seems more accurate in the legal sense). I'm waiting on a mail back from the fellow who typeset the books; we'll know where the fonts came from then. grendel|khan 10:44, 2005 Jan 16 (UTC)
  • Okay, so the images are PD. They're still orphans. Is there any need for them? What articles could they help illustrate? – Quadell (talk) (help) 17:09, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

Listings less than one week old

They're all from The World Flag Database. If there's anything wrong with the "country_flag_large.png" images the correct approach would be to update them. This was politely explained to Nicksukh, whose edits have since been reverted. So: OR, OB —Gabbe 12:01, Jan 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Image:Otherside.jpg - pornographic image uploaded by User with an unacceptable name, now orphaned since I deleted it from the article it was included into. RickK 00:47, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Does not appear to be pornographic or indecent in any way. It shows a female contortionist with bare bottom cheeks. For all I know she wears a thong. I believe it was originally intended to illustrate the conotortions required for autocunnilingus, a task it performs admirably. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:22, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. It shows no genitals, no breasts, no sexual act (only the position required); it's simply a woman in a contorted position. I wouldn't say it's overly shocking or graphic, given the subject which it depicts. I think it's a good addition to a growing article. Timbo ( t a l k ) 03:42, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's interesting how similar Image:Otherside.jpg and this image from contortion are. Difference: bare bum and context. The context is encyclopedic (I don't see anyone nominating autocunnilingus for deletion), and the bum is necessary (and not the first one on wikipedia). Timbo ( t a l k ) 03:48, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
