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.

What not to list here

[edit ]
  1. For concerns not listed below, if a deletion is uncontroversial , do not use this process. Instead tag a file with {{subst:prod}}. However, if the template is removed, please do not reinsert it; list the file for deletion then.
  2. For speedy deletion candidates as well, do not use this page; instead use one of the speedy deletion templates. See the criteria for speedy deletion. These are: duplicates (where both files are on Wikipedia), thumbnails, broken files, non-existent files, non-commercial, "by permission" files and files which are not an image, sound file or video clip and have no encyclopedic use.
  3. Files that have no source, have an unknown copyright, are unused or replaceable non-free, or are non-free without rationale can be marked so that they will be deleted after a week, and should not be listed on this page. Add one of the following to the file page:
    1. {{subst:nsd}} if a file has no source indicated.
    2. {{subst:nld}} if a file has a source but no licensing information.
    3. {{subst:orfud}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but isn't used in any articles.
    4. {{subst:rfu}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but could be replaced by a free file.
    5. {{subst:dfu|reason}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but the rationale isn't sufficient or is disputed.
    6. {{subst:nrd}} if a file has no non-free use rationale.
  4. Redundant or duplicate files do not have to be listed here. Please use
    1. {{db-f1|Full name of file excluding the "File:" prefix}} for speedy deletion if the other file is on Wikipedia, not on Commons
    2. {{now commons|File:NEW FILENAME}} if the file now exists on Commons, or {{now commons }} for files with the same name on Commons. (Don't nominate protected images, they are usually locally uploaded and protected since they are used in an interface message or in a highly used template, thus they are high-risk.)
  5. For blatant copyright infringements, use speedy deletion by tagging the file {{db-f9 }}.
  6. If a file is listed as public domain or under a free license but lacks verification of this (either by a VRT ticket number or a notice on the source website), tag it as {{subst:npd}}.
  7. Files that are hosted on Wikimedia Commons cannot be deleted via this process. Please use the Commons deletion page instead.
  8. Description pages with no local file, even though they are in the file namespace, should not be listed here.
    1. Redirects should be treated as in any other namespace: if no speedy deletion criteria apply, they should be listed at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.
    2. Local description pages with no associated file are speedy-deletable under criterion G8; use {{db-imagepage }}.
    3. Local description pages for files hosted on Commons are usually speedy-deletable under criterion F2 if there is no content relevant to Wikipedia; use {{db-fpcfail }}.
    4. Any other local description pages for files hosted on Commons should be listed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion.
  9. If a file is appropriately licensed and could be usable elsewhere, consider copying it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of listing it for deletion. Once copied to the Commons, it is eligible for speedy deletion per criterion 8 for files.
  10. If you are the uploader of the image, tag it with {{db-author }}.

Instructions

To list files for discussion, use Twinkle . If Twinkle isn't working, you can read its documentation or follow these steps to do it manually:

How to list a file for discussion manually

Most of these steps are performed automatically when using Twinkle. To do it manually, follow these steps:

1
Edit the file page.

Add {{Ffd|log=2025 November 15}} to the file page.

2
Create its FfD subsection.

Follow this edit link and list the file using {{subst:Ffd2|File_name.ext|uploader=|reason=}} ~~~~

Leave the subject heading blank.

If the file has been replaced by another file, name the file that replaced it in your reason for deletion. Refer below for a list of other common reasons.

For listing additional files with the same reason, edit the first file section and use {{subst:Ffd2a|File_name.ext|Uploader=}} for each additional file. You may use this tool to quickly generate Ffd2a listings. Also, add {{Ffd|log=2025 November 15}} to the top of the file page of each file other than the first one nominated.

3
Give due notice.

Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using {{subst:Ffd notice|File_name.ext}}

  • Remember to replace "File_name.ext" with the name of the image or media
  • For multiple images by the same user, use {{subst:Ffd notice multi|First_file.ext|Second_file.ext|Third_file.ext}} ~~~~ (can handle up to 26)

If the image is in use, also consider adding {{FFDC|File_name.ext|log=2025 November 15}} to the caption(s), or adding a notice to the article talk pages. Consider also notifying relevant WikiProjects of the discussion.

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:

  • Delete. Orphaned with no foreseeable encyclopedic usage.
  • Delete. Replaced by File:FILE2.
  • Free (public domain) file may actually be eligible for copyright in the United States. This photograph was actually first published in 1932, not 1926.
  • Remove from ARTICLE1 and ARTICLE2 . The file only meets WP:NFCC#8 with its use in ARTICLE3.
  • Non-free file may actually be free. This logo does not seem to meet the threshold of originality to be eligible for copyright in the United States and should actually be tagged free using {{PD-logo }}.

Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change here:

  • Obsolete – The file has been replaced by a better version.
  • Orphan – The file is not used on any pages in Wikipedia.
  • Unencyclopedic – The file doesn't seem likely to be useful in any Wikimedia project.
  • Low quality – The file is of an extremely low resolution, distorted, or has other physical image quality concerns.
  • Copyright violation – The file might be used in violation of copyright.
  • Possibly unfree – The file is claimed as a freely licensed content, but may actually be protected by copyright in either the United States or its country of origin.
  • NFCC violation – The file is used under a claim of fair use but does not meet the requirements.
  • Disputed copyright status – There is a disagreement between editors over the copyright status of a file. This includes, but is not limited to disputes about whether a file is: too simple for fair use, using the correct license tags, or accurately described by its description page.
  • Wrongly claimed as own – The file is under a self license, but the information on the file description pages suggests otherwise.

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.

Instructions for discussion participation

[edit ]

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.

Instructions for closing discussions

[edit ]

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

Fails WP:NFC#UUI. Absolutiva 05:17, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

KEEP: Yes I uploaded the image. Already covered the NFCCs in the justifications. If the rationale here is that the individual is still alive, then she is prepubescent in this image (extensively published since 1968 and used here if NFCC4 is raising the eyebrows of the individual who has tagged this image), and she is protected by a lifelong anonymity order. Of course, I am referencing the anonymity order when stating the individual as an adult following her release from prison and not the image of her as a prepubescent child used here freely published in the media (then and now).--Kieronoldham (talk) 05:29, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Keep. The NFCC rationale makes the case fairly clear. Any image of her as an adult is illegal and would not replace this one since it would be irrelevant, so this is not replaceable. The fact that she was a child is the main notability, and UUI gives exemptions for that. PARAKANYAA (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

What I meant is that this logo is uncopyrightable, as it is below the threshold of originality. This logo should be tagged as Public Domain, and moved to Commons. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Possibly PD in India if published over 60 years ago, but not PD in the U.S. If we assume a 1949 publication date, the Indian copyright expired in 2009, so it was still copyrighted in India in 1996 and thus copyright was restored under URAA. C F A 20:29, 8 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete this is why editors should link to sources instead of just saying "the website", because they should consider that 20 years on "the website" might be unfindable. It was probably freely licensed, but too bad, so sad. OmegaAOL talk? 00:40, 12 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Relisting comment: If this is not free in the U.S., then must be marked as non-free on the English Wikipedia. So, it must be held up against the standards of WP:NFCC, which has not been discussed here. Evidence of this being {{GODL-India }} requires a source for verification.

File:Old Man (Neil Young single - cover art).jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Sb26554 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Should, preferably, display the other (Canadian) single release as the sole lead image representing the Canadian musician's recording rather than this (German/Austrian) one per WP:NFCC#3a (discogs). George Ho (talk) 06:29, 13 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Didn't realize until just now that it's used in two articles. Just now, also using another portion of the Canadian single in the other article. --George Ho (talk) 07:29, 13 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Keep - The single covers show a more complete image of the single cover than the Canadian single release alone. Instead, Delete the Canadian singles File:Old man by neil young Canadian vinyl side-A.webp and File:The Needle and the Damage Done Neil Young Canadian vinyl side-B.webp as they are redundant. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 23:47, 14 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
    Dunno why else you thought so other than the "cover arts look better and more complete" argument. The cover art was distributed to the German/Austrian single. Canada is geographically larger than Germany (well, two Germanys combined at the time) and Austria and was the singer's home country. Well, the American single release didn't use a picture sleeve, but the United States has been one of largest markets of the music industry... and Canada's neighboring country.
    Deleting both side labels of the Canadian (or American if that were displayed instead) single release would make readers wrongly assume which releases were important at the time and that the single cover art is the most important portion just because they have appealed the masses better. Also, we might be hindering readers' understanding of the historical context of how single releases, like those of "Old Man", were manufactured and then distributed long before cassette singles and then CD singles arrived in stores. George Ho (talk) 00:44, 15 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
    The single's image is for visualization purposes, and seeing the single's cover is more important than just seeing a plain CD. Like Black Dog by Led Zeppelin features the French Single cover, even though the band is English. You can find it on Discogs, seen here. IMO, the country doesn't matter, but rather the content. It's useful in seeing the cover art of these singles since most of them are either 1). Lost to time (with only the LP remaining) or 2). Generic covers based on the record label. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 00:50, 15 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
    The single's image is for visualization purposes, and seeing the single's cover is more important than just seeing a plain CD. What you said sounds as if the side labels fail WP:NFC#CS because it normally discourages using more than one prominent aspect of the subject, right?
    With all due respect, regardless of which portion to use, be it a plain vinyl record or a picture sleeve, the right... or an important release matters more. (Portion ≠ release.) Also, a release can be a "prominent aspect" that a reader would realize and have sought for. (Shall I explain further why video game community has preferred displaying English-language cover arts, like Super Mario World? Well, Japanese editions of Final Fantasy IV and Tales of Eternia are unique cases for you to study.)
    Also, various single releases of "Old Man" didn't use one universal single cover art (discogs). Unsure why you've thought the German/Austrian single is the most important out of all initial single releases to display, and unsure why we must compare "Old Man" to a Led Zeppelin song.
    It's useful in seeing the cover art of these singles. If we encourage the practice that a cover art is more "important" than a right release, then... Well, I don't know how else to argue without committing a fallacy. How about "we may be either misleading readers and editors into making wrong assumptions or rewriting history" or...?

File:Captain Tom You'll Never Walk Alone.jpg (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Widgetkid (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

I PRODded the PNG version of this cover art, thinking it's not contextually significant enough to justify usage. However, for a short while after the PNG one was deleted without contest, this JPEG version was then uploaded. Sure, the cover version topped the UK charts, but I'm doubtful about the necessity of this image. Compare this with FFD discussion from a few/several years back, where that other image was considered a "textbook" violation. George Ho (talk) 18:34, 27 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

  • Keep. Since a stand-alone article could be written about this particular cover version the song, per WP:NSONG, but the only reason there isn't a separate article is because relevant content regarding all cover versions of the same song is being incorporated into a single article for encyclopedic reasons, a non-free image of the cover version's cover art is allowed since there is significant independent coverage, charting, etc. per WP:COVERSONG and WP:NFC#cite_note-3.
    The cited FFD discussion does not appear analagous. The section of Collete Roberts' version of Ring My Bell doesn't have the makings of a stand-alone article, as it is just a track listing, charts, and certifications with no significant coverage referenced. There is much more coverage & content for this version of "You'll Never Walk Alone."

Well, you've been further shown another example by an admin whom you've disagreed with (revision link ). The votes here seem to defy what the admin has been cautious about, huh? Whatever you ask me, I stand by my position and nomination, but whatever.
If it matters, then I might merge (the lackluster section about) the Lacuna version (of another song) into another section... without completely removing chart performances. Unsure about its music videos. Also, unsure whether to trim down details about this version (of a song from a musical). George Ho (talk) 18:27, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
@George Ho, so you'd prefer to not address my relevant question about this article and bring up a completely different article with significantly different content? Kudos for consistency, I guess? ⚙️ WidgetKid 🙈🙉🙊 22:08, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
Didn't mean to overlook the Captain Tom version. I just figured that, without any other opposition, this discussion would result in either "kept" or "no consensus". Nonetheless, I'll say this: I re-read the section and realize that the content would be too large to merge into another section (about other versions). Even I'm concerned about, if Captain Tom version were the first one, merging the content into another article (about Captain Tom or Michael Ball) would be... I dunno, less desirable (due to size and content about the version itself)? George Ho (talk) 22:21, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

File:CONCACAF W Gold Cup logo.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by S.A. Julio (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

This is the general tournament logo, and so use on 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup violates WP:GETTY point 14. We either need a 2024-specific logo or no logo at all on that event. Joseph 2302 (talk) 16:06, 24 October 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Actually, this logo is below the threshold of originality, therefore being Public Domain. Please move it to Commons. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 20:26, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I think this logo is below the threshold of originality, maybe we should move it to Commons. Is the logo copyrighted? If there's doubt, see the US Copyright Office, because I think the home country of the work is the United States. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 14:55, 5 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Yes, below TOO, move it to Commons, and convert it to SVG. Candidyeoman55 (talk) 14:46, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
File:MKW Cow Concept Sketch.png (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by Captain Galaxy (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Fails WP:NFCC#3a: Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. as File:MKW Cow render.png suffices. Also arguably fails WP:NFCC#8, as a second image doesn't significantly enhance the article, even though this specific sketch is mentioned in the text. Joseph 2302 (talk) 15:51, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Keep. It's not uncommon to use concept art to illustrate the growth and development of a character, and in this case, it also provides an image of the Cow driving, which the lead image does not. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 17:40, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
  • Creator keep: I disagree that the file fails WP:NFCC#3a as it is the art itself that is the focal point of the given section of the article as it is tied to the Cow's development as a playable character, rather than that being a simple depiction of the character. This is further proven to be the case by the nominator as to mention the fact that the article's text mentions the concept art in-question. It has contextual significance to the actual article, ergo, it shouldn't violate WP:NFCC#8 either. Captain Galaxy 17:43, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

File:John Hinckley Jr discusses on YouTube that he wishes for more Peace and Harmony in the World, 2023.mp3 (delete | talk | history | links | logs) – uploaded by CMBGAMER 2018 (notify | contribs | uploads | upload log).

Not particularly notable for singing or anything of the sort, so fair use voice sample is not needed. Additionally, he is still alive, so a free use recording could be made. Based5290 :3 (talk) 08:10, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
