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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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:
Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change here:
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. If you have general questions about a file and/or its copyright status, then please start a new thread at Media Copyright Questions. |

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:
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.
Nominations should be processed for closing after being listed for 7 days following the steps here.
The following discussions are more than 7 days old and are pending processing by an administrator:
For older nominations, see the archives.
Discussions with at least 6 full days since nomination. After 7 days, they may be closed.

Non-free photo being used in Richard C. West and Constructing The Lord of the Rings#A "long and difficult process". Although a non-free use rationale is provided for each use, I only think the use in the "Richard C. West" is Wikipedia's non-free content use policy compliant.
According to the non-free use rationale provided for the article about West, the image shows "West working on the Marquette University Tolkien Archive". Given that West died in November 2020 and assuming the uploader did a reasonable such for a free equivalent image of him that could serve the same encyclopedic purpose as this or any other non-free one, this use seems fine because relevant policy has long allowed non-free images of a deceased individuals to be used for primary identification purposes at the tops of or in the main infoboxes of stand-alone articles about said individuals as long as no free equivalents can be either found or created to serve essentially the same encyclopedic purpose as athe non-free one; non-free uses of the same image in other articles or in other ways, however, tends to be much harder to justify. So, I suggest Keep for this particular non-free use in "Richard C. West". FWIW, there do appear to be some other images of him available online but none appear to be released under an acceptable free license.
The non-free use in "Constructing The Lord of the Rings" is not as clear and needs to be assessed. This use seems quite
WP:DECORATIVE to me and doesn't meet
WP:NFCC#1 (
WP:FREER) and
WP:NFCC#8 (
WP:NFC#CS). According to the non-free use rationale provided for this particular use, the primary justifications for its seem to be as follows: (1) "Illustrate the drafts of The Lord of the Rings in the Tolkien Archive at Marquette University in use."; and (2) "There is no other image available that shows a Tolkien scholar working on the Marquette University Tolkien Archive, directly relevant to the article. It is not easy to gain access to the archive (only bona fide scholars are admitted), let alone to find a Tolkien scholar at work and get permission to photograph them actually using Tolkien's drafts, so while in theory another image might be made, in practice this is the only such image known from the many years the archive has been in existence." These to me seem more
WP:THOUSANDWORDS and
WP:IRREPLACEABLE justifications than anything else. I don't think the additional of this image to that particular section significantly improves the reader's understanding to such a degree that not seeing the image is detrimental to that understanding. Removing the image causes doesn't significantly effect the readers encyclopedic of the subject matter. In addition, the photo itself is not the subject of any sourced critical commentary; it's sourced to Marquette University's J.R.R. Tolkien Collection, but it isn't itself the subject of any sourced critical commentary in the article. If this is an iconic or otherwise historic photo that is regularly used and discussed whenever reliable sources cover the archives, then more sourced content about the photo itself should be added; otherwise, the reader doesn't need to see a non-free image of a Tolkien scholar doing research at their desk at the archive to understand that Tolkien scholars work at desks while researching the archives. The caption identifies the scholar as West, but that's the only time he's mentioned by name in the entire article; moreover, even if he was mentioned more, the non-free use in the stand-alone article about him and item 6 of
WP:NFC#UUI means there's really no need to use the photo just to identify him: he can be mentioned in the "Constructing" article and a Wikilink to the stand-alone article about him can be added. The non-free use rationale for this use also states the file is needed to Again, I don't think the reader needs to see this non-free image to understand that the archives contain drafts (even thousands of pages of drafts) of Tolkiens work, and these are use by scholars researching Tolkien. So, I suggest Remove for the non-free use in "Constructing The Lord of the Ring" because it doesn't satisfy (in my opinion) NFCC#1 and NFCC#8, and a non-free use is
required by policy to satisfy all ten non-free content use criteria to be valid. --

This image uses several non-free use images in one to depict the Ninth Doctor's companions in the Ninth Doctor article, but due to the fact only headshots are used, this image can be replicated substantially easily using the free to use images we have of the companions' actors (Billie Piper, Bruno Langley, and John Barrowman). This image seems largely redundant and can easily be replaced by non-free media without being detrimental to reader understanding. Has one ever considered Magneton?

Possible copyright violation; the photo is sourced to the school district's website, but there's no evidence that the school district gave the uploader permission to use the photo. TheCatalyst31 Reaction• Creation 19:39, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
This file was discussed at Wikipedia:Non-free content review/Archive 68#File:SomeoneLikeYouVinyl2.jpg back in July–October 2015, and I closed the discussion as "no-consensus". I think though this probably should be discussed some more because it seems like this cover art would be at least {{ PD-ineligible-USonly}} for local use here on English Wikipedia given c:COM:TOO United States even if it's considered protected in the UK and can't be moved to Commons per c:COM:TOO United Kingdom. Pinging George Ho, Black Kite and Masem as a courtesy because they participated in the NFCR discussion. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:53, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

This might fall under {{ PD-US-no notice}}, but if not, it should probably be deleted based on WP:NFCC#1 and 8. The image doesn't illustrate anything about Princeton–Yale football rivalry except to confirm that they played a game in 1953. hinnk ( talk) 09:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Derivative of a possibly-copyrighted prose. This FB post hints about the memorial marker being made by both sculptor Jose Giroy and conceptual design by historian Isagani B. Giron, both of which are still alive today. No FoP in the Philippines for all works:; more so, this certainly has U.S. copyright established by Uruguay Round Agreements Act and U.S. does not have Freedom of Panorama for copyrighted non-architectural works.

Fails WP:NFCC#8 as does not significantly enhance the article. This is an article about a competition, and so a tournament logo would be acceptable as non free content, but not the associated trophy. Also likely fails WP:NFCC#1 as someone could take a free image of the trophy if/when it is on public display. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 09:41, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Image is tagged as own-work and with the author as being Kevin, suggesting that User:Aerno (who wrote Kevin McSheehan) has misrepresented the photo as being their own work. I am willing to withdraw the nomination if they confirm that they are Kevin McSheehan. jp× g 🗯️ 11:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Both files are replaceable with the {{

c:File:The Beatles - I Am The Walrus & Hello Goodbye ad.jpg per
WP:NFCC#1. These are essentially the same files I listed for discussion
on July 22; as such, the arguments listed in that discussion should be considered here as well.

Contested removal from Josef von Sternberg. This file fails WP:NFCC#1 since it can be replaced with any image of the subject from c:Category:Josef von Sternberg. hinnk ( talk) 23:37, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Non-notable fan art of an historical figure. Should have no place under fair use (we barely allow artistic depictions of unknown provenance).
Also copyright on Artstation is borne by the artist and that website i.e. "The artist has already published this artwork for free on their website." is not a valid rationale. Gotitbro ( talk) 05:44, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
