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

deletion review
.

What not to list here

  1. For concerns not listed below, if a deletion is
    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. {{.
  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
      }} 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
    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
    speedy deletion
    per criterion 8 for files.
  10. If you are the uploader of the image, tag it with {{
    db-author
    }}.

Instructions for listing files for discussion

Use Twinkle. If you can't, follow these steps to do manually:

1
Edit the file page.

Add {{Ffd|log=2024 March 19}} 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=2024 March 19}} 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=2024 March 19}} 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:

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 it's copyright status, then please start a new thread at Media Copyright Questions.

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:

Remember that

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

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.

WP:NFCC#8. Whpq (talk) 03:55, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep - I disagree with your assertion that the lack of this image would not detract from a reader's understanding of the topic, as BC Ferries vessels differ greatly from one another, even within the same class of vessel. Without the image, the reader is left to assume what "New Major Vessel" refers to, as by looking at the fleet roster and route patronage statistics (once those are visible again), one could define "Major" in a few different ways. I feel that the image adds necessary context to define where the new class of vessels will fit in the fleet, and by comparison to the photos of existing vessels, could indicate to the reader what routes the new ships could potentially be used on. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 06:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as fails
    WP:NFTABLE The use of non-free images arranged in a gallery or tabular format is usually unacceptable, but should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Exceptions should be very well-justified and alternate forms of presentation (including with fewer images) strongly considered. Definitely not speedy keep eligible, since a rationale has been given (and Fhsig13 not liking the rationale is different to none being presented). Joseph2302 (talk) 11:45, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

    @Joseph2302 I have just put some work into the article, beefing up the section on the new vessel with as much sourced, critical commentary as I could. I'm not sure if it'll be enough, but unless others can track down more information that I could not, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot more out there. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 21:06, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete – This is an artist rendition of a future vessel. No hint that the vessel is cancelled yet. Also,
    WP:NFGALLERY applies; the image is used as part of the gallery, usually of free images (of existing or past vessels). Using the image until the vessel's actual release may neither be what the project is striving for nor comply with NFCC. George Ho (talk) 09:06, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

Appears to be directly taken from Aulochrome.com. While I think this is a non-controversial edit, there were two complicating factors: first, I don't have a ton of experience at this particular thing, and second, since it appears to be wrapped up in a current blocked user's discussion about their use of copyrighted images, I don't wish to tread on anyone's toes CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 01:14, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The mugshot was possibly taken between 1921 and 1924, but there are other informations can may this file in public domain like :

  • The file was published before 1963 but the copyright was not renewed.
  • The file was publisher before 1977 without copyright notice.
  • The file was published before March 1, 1989 without copyright notice and not renewed.

  • Speedy Delete: Since this image may be under copyright (and was uploaded on the grounds of fair-use), but is redundant to a duplicate version on Commons, it meets criterion
    WP:SPEEDY. Consequently, the Commons version should probably be marked for deletion as well, since that platform does not allow fair-use (while their version of this image was uploaded as PD, that status can't be confirmed, so it should be assumed that the image is under copyright). -- Fhsig13 (talk) 01:52, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

These license plates were all recently uploaded by Brian.S.W (talk · contribs). Their description pages state that they are public domain because they were made by the U.S. federal government. However, this is not the case. Based on the source info, they appear to have been created by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and/or various private entities. According to §1001.007 of the Texas Transportation Code (see page 3141 of this PDF):

The department may:

...apply for, register, secure, hold, and protect under the laws of the United States...copyright...or other evidence of protection or exclusivity issued in or for an idea, publication, or other original innovation fixed in a tangible medium, including:

...a logo...

...a service mark...

...a graphic design...

...an audiovisual work...

I am not a lawyer, but Copyright at Harvard Library confirms that "Intellectual property of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles" is "Copyrightable by statute". Additionally, the artwork on the plates is likely copyrighted by private artists who have not released their work under a free license.

Since, to the best of my knowledge, the Texas DMV has not explicitly released the license plates under a free license, I recommend deletion of these files; non-free use would be

excessive

Copyright in this image has been restored by the URAA, as Pakistani (and British) copyright periods would still have been running in 1996. The only chance for this image to be considered in the public domain in the US is for it being a British (not Pakistani) Crown image that falls under the special clause that Crown copyright is considered to "expire worldwide" (cf. template:PD-UKGov). However, there is no indication that this is the case. If found to be copyrighted in the US, it could possibly still be used on the subject's article under non-free content provisions, but would presumably have to be removed from Chief of the Air Staff (Pakistan).

I don't think Three Sixty meant it that way. Let's just say that the photo's copyright will last until the end of 2046, ninety-five years after its first publication, i.e. possibly 1951 (Cornell charts). The Pakistani works still copyrighted in Pakistan in 1996 received their own restored US copyright. Right now, the ones published before 1929 are now already in the public domain.

Per

This image is the BBC's analysis of another non-free image (the "Mothers' Day Photograph") which is also displayed in the article.

In 2006, this photo was uploaded under the claim that the photographer died 100 years ago. That means that if the license tag is correct, the photographer must have died in 1906 or earlier. The photo's subject was born in 1893.[1] That means that if the photographer took the photo in 1906 or earlier, Booker must be 13 years old or younger in the photo. That does not appear to be the case.

Since we cannot know for sure the date of this image's publication, the date of the author's death, or the original source of publication, we cannot know the copyright status, and the image should be deleted.

I don't see why we should be a free copyright research organization for every person uploading media they found on the Internet. It's my understanding "All works created after January 1, 1978 are automatically protected by copyright" regardless of a copyright notice. However, the copyright on the original might predate 1978. If the original is still in copyright, the print will also be in copyright, regardless of a copyright notice (the print was made after 1978). If the original is no longer in copyright, the print is also no longer in copyright (I think not positive). As you can see this is complicated. -- GreenC 20:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: I concur with @
    WP:SPEEDY, however, I can't say at this point in time. Conversely though, if at any point in this discussion are made aware the copyright status with any real measure of certainty, we could be looking at a completely different outcome. -- Fhsig13 (talk) 01:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply
