On this page, users can ask for a deleted page or file (hereafter, "file") to be restored. Users can comment on requests by leaving remarks such as keep deleted or undelete along with their reasoning.

This page is not part of Wikipedia. This page is about the content of Wikimedia Commons, a repository of free media files used by Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Wikimedia Commons does not host encyclopedia articles. To request undeletion of an article or other content which was deleted from the English Wikipedia edition, see the deletion review page on that project.

Finding out why a file was deleted

First, check the deletion log and find out why the file was deleted. Also use the What links here feature to see if there are any discussions linking to the deleted file. If you uploaded the file, see if there are any messages on your user talk page explaining the deletion. Secondly, please read the deletion policy, the project scope policy, and the licensing policy again to find out why the file might not be allowed on Commons.

If the reason given is not clear or you dispute it, you can contact the deleting administrator to ask them to explain or give them new evidence against the reason for deletion. You can also contact any other active administrator (perhaps one that speaks your native language)—most should be happy to help, and if a mistake had been made, rectify the situation.

Appealing a deletion

Deletions which are correct based on the current deletion, project scope and licensing policies will not be undone. Proposals to change the policies may be done on their talk pages.

If you believe the file in question was neither a copyright violation nor outside the current project scope:

  • You may want to discuss with the administrator who deleted the file. You can ask the administrator for a detailed explanation or show evidence to support undeletion.
  • If you do not wish to contact anyone directly, or if an individual administrator has declined undeletion, or if you want an opportunity for more people to participate in the discussion, you can request undeletion on this page.
  • If the file was deleted for missing evidence of licensing permission from the copyright holder, please follow the procedure for submitting permission evidence. If you have already done that, there is no need to request undeletion here. If the submitted permission is in order, the file will be restored when the permission is processed. Please be patient, as this may take several weeks depending on the current workload and available volunteers.
  • If some information is missing in the deleted image description, you may be asked some questions. It is generally expected that such questions are responded in the following 24 hours.

Temporary undeletion

Files may be temporarily undeleted either to assist an undeletion discussion of that file or to allow transfer to a project that permits fair use. Use the template {{Request temporary undeletion}} in the relevant undeletion request, and provide an explanation.

  1. if the temporary undeletion is to assist discussion, explain why it would be useful for the discussion to undelete the file temporarily, or
  2. if the temporary undeletion is to allow transfer to a fair use project, state which project you intend to transfer the file to and link to the project's fair use statement.

To assist discussion

Files may be temporarily undeleted to assist discussion if it is difficult for users to decide on whether an undeletion request should be granted without having access to the file. Where a description of the file or quotation from the file description page is sufficient, an administrator may provide this instead of granting the temporary undeletion request. Requests may be rejected if it is felt that the usefulness to the discussion is outweighed by other factors (such as restoring, even temporarily, files where there are substantial concerns relating to Commons:Photographs of identifiable people). Files temporarily undeleted to assist discussion will be deleted again after thirty days, or when the undeletion request is closed (whichever is sooner).

To allow transfer of fair use content to another project

Unlike English Wikipedia and a few other Wikimedia projects, Commons does not accept non-free content with reference to fair use provisions. If a deleted file meets the fair use requirements of another Wikimedia project, users can request temporary undeletion in order to transfer the file there. These requests can usually be handled speedily (without discussion). Files temporarily undeleted for transfer purposes will be deleted again after two days. When requesting temporary undeletion, please state which project you intend to transfer the file to and link to the project's fair use statement.

Projects that accept fair use

Adding a request

First, ensure that you have attempted to find out why the file was deleted. Next, please read these instructions for how to write the request before proceeding to add it:

  • Do not request undeletion of a file that has not been deleted.
  • Do not post e-mail or telephone numbers to yourself or others.
  • In the Subject: field, enter an appropriate subject. If you are requesting undeletion of a single file, a heading like [[:File:DeletedFile.jpg]] is advisable. (Remember the initial colon in the link.)
  • Identify the file(s) for which you are requesting undeletion and provide image links (see above). If you don't know the exact name, give as much information as you can. Requests that fail to provide information about what is to be undeleted may be archived without further notice.
  • State the reason(s) for the requested undeletion.
  • Sign your request using four tilde characters (~~~~). If you have an account at Commons, log in first. If you were the one to upload the file in question, this can help administrators to identify it.

Add the request to the bottom of the page. Click here to open the page where you should add your request. Alternatively, you can click the "edit" link next to the current date below. Watch your request's section for updates.

Closing discussions

In general, discussions should be closed only by administrators.

File:TabukGold.jpg

Hi, it seems the file File:TabukGold.jpg has been deleted, according to reasons stating "A source is given, but there is no proof that the author or copyright holder agreed to license the file under the given license." However, the source of which the image was taken and uploaded to commons from the following: https://www.deviantart.com/marcusburns1977/art/TabukGold-1050089119 is actually visibly licensed as 'Creative Commons 3.0" and is thus in fact, free to use under those terms. Who-ever opted for its speedy deletion request probably did so mistakenly, possibly not having seen that written license. Paraxade13 (talk) 09:19, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Though the site status regarding IP ownership between users may sometimes be questionable, it shouldn't be discounted that there indeed still exist many real users, even notable ones, who do indeed upload and keep, original artistic works there.

Tried a reverse-image search via Google Lens for any duplicate or near-duplicate images that may exist online prior to the given image source's upload date, and there currently doesn't seem to be any.

With no further context it seems unlikely that a random DeviantArt user should have dozens of rare and obscure firearms totaling a worth of more than 100k laying around just to photograph Trade (talk) 13:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's true. However judging by other contents within that DeviantArt account user's profile, seems many (if not all of them) are either original 3D rendered computer generated imagery, lined drawings and/or even paintings(?), might not necessarily even be photographs? Of course its not very likely some deviantart user (or anyone else in particular) would realistically have more than USD$100k+ worth of such rare items to photograph. Attempted to emulate some reverse-image search results as put forth by user @HanyNAR. This is some of the ('similar') results found from other published sources. Some of them are also indeed drawing's/paintings, but not necessarily objective indicators that those artist themselves has physical access/ownership of that item to draw/render/paint from?

I think we need either free license permission from author's heirs via VRT or an evidence that it was published in US without copyright notice near creation date. For both mentioned images. If the permission is to be sent to VRT and verified by them, nothing can be done here.

File:Minskip 2 September 2023 (135).JPG and File:Minskip 2 September 2023 (17).JPG

The above files were deleted in error, due to a misunderstanding about British law and about the identity of the photographic subject. These deleted items were part of a now-resolved dispute about photographic copyright in the context of scarecrow festivals in the United Kingdom. The dispute has now been resolved and fully explained at great length here: Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Storye book. You will need to read through the latter discussion in order to fully understand the situation, but here is a very brief summary: Photographing scarecrow festivals in public-access places in the UK, and publishing such photos on Commons, is legal in the UK.

Re toys:

  • Objects which may look like toys in scarecrow festivals are not toys; their creators' intention is part of the scarecrow festival creation. Toys are defined normally as children's (or sometimes adults') playthings, but stuffed animals in scarecrow festivals are created as part of the scarecrow festival tableaux, e.g. farmers with sheep, Cruella de Ville with dogs, the Pied Piper with rats, and so on. The stuffed animals in scarecrow festivals are home made. They are not commercial objects, and that point matters in British courts. Also, British courts do not inflict punitive damages in copyright cases; it is the US punitive damages which give rise to the million-dollar damages awards that we hear about; that does not happen in UK courts.
  • This matters in copyright law in the UK, because only the designer's printed pattern, and the designer's own (usually unique and single) hand-made example are copyrighted. home-crafters who buy designer's patterns for home craft purposes and make a stuffy have not made an object copyrighted by the designer. I know that because I am a knitting pattern designer myself. The language and photographs in my written designs, and my own hand-made examples, are under my own copyright, as are my own photos of my own work. But my customers' creations are not under my copyright at all. No designer would want that, partly because no customer is going to make it in exactly the same way, but mostly because a lot of customers make an embarrassingly awful job of the sewing-up. As far as I am aware, no case has ever been brought to court by a home crafter who has knitted from a knitting pattern using e.g. a new colour, and then their neighbour has knitted from the same design and used the same new colour, etc. etc. Storye book (talk) 11:08, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Related DRs: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Minskip 2 September 2023 (135).JPG and Commons:Deletion requests/File:Minskip 2 September 2023 (17).JPG. Yann (talk) 11:32, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose These are copyrighted in the UK and the USA. The facts that they are plush and were made for a festival are irrelevant to the basic fact that they are created works of art and do not have a utilitarian use and therefore are copyrighted in both countries. The fact that no case has been brought or that the UK courts do not award substantial damages are also irrelevant. The fact that they are not commercial objects is also irrelevant.
The 1988 Copyright Act is quite clear:
1 (1) Copyright is a property right which subsists in accordance with this Part in the following descriptions of work --
(a) original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works,
(snip)
4 (1) In this Part "artistic work" means --
(a) a graphic work, photograph, sculpture or collage, irrespective of artistic quality
(b) ...
(c) a work of artistic craftsmanship.
One might argue whether these are sculptures or works of artistic craftsmanship, but it is clear they are one or the other, or both. Note that there is no requirement that they be commercial works or, indeed, that they have any artistic quality.
Therefore, we cannot keep images of them on Commons without the explicit permission of the creator. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 16:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Jim, we have already been through this, and you lost the case (see above link to discussion). I have discussed this with the relevant solicitors, as I described on the abovementioned discussion. British courts do not define works of art and they do not define artists, because the definition of art is a moot point. You are wasting your time talking about art, artists and sculpture.
It is intention which is taken into consideration in British courts. The intention here is to create a temporary tableau for the scarecrow festival, and these items were part of a tableau of silly non-artistic objects made of clumsy bags of straw and intended for imminent destruction. The non-commercial aspect does matter, because in British courts on this subject, it is the potential gain or loss of money which is quantifiable, and it is that which is taken into consideration. Thus, if the items had been made for sale (which they have not), there would have been potential for quantifiable gain or loss (which there is not). Unlike in the US, British courts do not inflict punitive damages, as I have said above. Therefore there would be no basis for a court case regarding my photography of these scarecrow tableau objects.
When these photographs were deleted, that was the point of loss for the villagers who made the objects, because they no longer had access to photographs of their now-destroyed works. If the photographs were still available online, they could still be using those same photographs to advertise the next scarecrow festival, and they could still be using those photographs for their own records.
I strongly recommend that from now on you save your efforts for matters regarding US law, and leave British law to those who are in the know. It is obvious that the objects in the photograph are not graphic works or collages. We have already established in discussion that a scarecrow is not, and never can be, a sculpture. Please now step back and let others discuss this. Storye book (talk) 17:19, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Wikimedia Commons is hosted in the United States, and files hosted here must be allowed to be used by anyone for any purpose. These objects are copyrighted, it does not matter one whit if the objects are non-commercial or not, there are works that has been fixed in a tangible medium of creative expression. Since the display is not permanent, they don't benefit from FOP. Abzeronow (talk) 19:21, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't be condescending -- it just makes the target angry and doesn't get you anywhere. I think you are wrong on British law as these are clearly artistic works, but the point is moot. It is perfectly clear that they have a copyright in the USA and therefore the images cannot be kept here. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 19:46, 9 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are not copyright in the USA as the objects are traditional effigies, which in this case are not sculptures. That means that they are utilitarian. Effigies can be scarecrows in a field, which are utilitarian as bird-scarers. They can be guys in British Fireworks Night, where they are children's money-raisers for the purchase of fireworks, or (at Lewes, for example) dressed up to mock famous people. Traditionally, they were used in dimity rides, as described in Hardy's Mayor of Casterbridge, where (again) they were dressed up to mock or embarrass people who had committed a social faux pas. They can be voodoo dolls, i.e. symbols of enemies, which some people used to stick pins in, in the hope that the enemy would feel pain. These examples are all utilitarian, in that they are used to symbolise something, for some further purpose, In the case of festival scarecrows, they bring the inhabitants of a village together for fun, and are used to attract visitors who may then pay money for charity, for a trail map, and usually also for tea and snacks. As for the art, that is in my ph9togrpahy. There is no Commons rule demanding the deletion of photographs such as this File:Rababou 2006.jpg, and I would like to know how my photos of festival scarecrows are a different case from that photograph (and all the other thousands of photographs like it, on Commons). Storye book (talk) 08:30, 10 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment To me, these two files differ from some of the original effigies mentioned because they apparently utilise toys that have copyright, rather than creations that in themselves would appear not to cause copyright that the requestor identifies. The images mentioned both have clearly identifiable toys that are not de minimis and while may be effigies still essentially look like shop-bought toys, and there is no clear evidence that they are not shop-bought (PCP).  — billinghurst sDrewth 22:32, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Billinghurst: I cannot see the pictures because they have been deleted. I uploaded hundreds of festival scarecrow pictures, as you know. Are they dalmatians (white dogs with black spots) or are they the weird stylised yellow and black bees out of the Winnie the Pooh story? If they are the dalmatians, then I accept that you cannot see whether they are shop bought or not, although I can, because I used to make them when I was a child. If they are the bees, then they are definitely hand made for one of the festival tableaux - the bees are far too scruffy and far too large to be toys (bigger than a toddler). One of the bees, if it is a re-used commercial item, then it was almost certainly made as a footstool, being very roughly hemispherical and about 1.5ft long and about a foot high - so never a toy. If they are something else, then please tell me. Thank you. Storye book (talk) 08:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Storye book: The first is a "bee", the second is of two white with black spots dogs. Yann (talk) 09:00, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, Yann. Then, in that case, the bee is definitely an exhibition item made for that purpose. I really don't see how it can be seen as a toy. Too big, too scruffy, unsaleable as a toy. The bee with the scary mouth is 2-3 feet long, and would be unsuitable and unsafe for toddler handling, anyway, and the hemispherical one is almost certainly made as a footstool. As for Disney copyright, well, Disney lost copyright for Winnie the Pooh some time ago. That fact was reported in the Guardian newspaper. Storye book (talk) 09:39, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter whether it can be used as a toy or not -- and some toys are very big, and toys are not limited to toddlers. It also doesn't matter whether is was a one-off made by an individual or one of hundreds coming out of a factory and sold in shops. It has a US copyright as a sculpture and almost certainly a UK copyright as well, notwithstanding the claims above. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 14:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It has now been established in another deletion request started by you here, that UK courts do not recognise artistic identity as a legal argument in copyright cases, and that scarecrow festival exhibits are not sculptures. These items at issue here do not have US copyrights; this is a UK issue, whether this is a US platform or not. Regarding the existing perspective of this US platform: if British photographs taken in the UK under UK laws are not subject to US laws (which they are not) then we have to deal with this under UK law. If our photographs were really subject only to US law, then this platform would not be taking into account our 70-years-deceased law for creative copyright of 2D artworks (which it does), or our Freedom of Panorama (which it does).

Some images deleted by Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Puregold San Mateo

If some of the images at the DR show only generic parts of the building like window frames, the images may be restored as the parts are not unique architectural components (tag: {{PD-structure|PHL}}). But if all images show the complete appearance of the sides of the building or the entirety of the structure, then do not restore. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 05:02, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I don't see a request here -- only a comment.

Old version of Stratz Körper des Kindes 3 136.jpg

See the history log here.

The original version of a scanned page from this 1909 issue (which includes a photograph) was overwritten in 2007 for remove the image and deleted for "serious copyvio doubts (about the photograph)" because, although the book's author also took some photographs, not all of the images used for the book were created by them, but from other photographers (some of them credited below some of the images, but not in all cases). However, in fact the photograph deleted from this file in question (also available here) is in fact in the public domain as its creator is known (in a 1904 publication of the same book the author's name is credited at the foot note just below the photograph) and has been deceased since 1930.

For that, as the photograph is also PD, hiding the image technically wouldn't be specially needed anymore, as the original scan is also a proof concerning the photograph's publication history.

This request applies only to this file as evidence crediting the original author was provided. Other cases may be reviewed carefully to confirm that the original creator is provided in the 1909 version of the book or in an older version, like the 1904 one before undeleting other scan files from this publication work. 81.41.177.91 16:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Support The photo on the page is the same as File:Stratz - Körper des Kindes 04.jpg, which we have credited to de:Wilhelm Plüschow (1852-1930), so in the PD both in Germany as well as the US. The photo on the book page has a credit to A. Schuler in it (lower right), compare [1], which apparently does not stand for a photographer, but for the Chemigraphische Kunstanstalt August Schuler in Stuttgart, a lithography company. --Rosenzweig τ 11:13, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose This appears to be a work of Pakistan's government. Licensed and sourced as an own work, which is unlikely. (Edit: striked oppose since Elcobbola provided the actual source.) Abzeronow (talk) 22:31, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support - The reason was "No permission," which is readily observable in the deletion log, and something you were indeed asked to provide and did not. This was presumably asked because it is difficult to imagine that someone with a history of copyright violations is the author of a professional quality headshot of a three-star general (!!!). And, sure enough, your self-authorship and {{Cc-zero}} claims were both, yet again, blatant untruths: this is the work of the Inter Services Public Relations Directorate (ISPR) of Pakistan. By dumb luck, however, the ISPR has licensed the image as cc-by-sa 4.0, so it can be restored for that reason. Эlcobbola talk 22:54, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:STLPR Primary Logo.png

The image was deleted as it was uploaded under a fair use rational; however, the file does not meet the threshold of originality, which means a fair use rational was unnecessary. The former logo (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:STLPR-Primary-MD.png) is more complicated than the new logo, and does not meet the threshold of originality, so there is no reason for the new logo to not meet the threshold either.

File:Lenny Maidana 2021.jpg, File:Old_female_pinscher.jpg and File:Guns_n_roses_lenny_1920x1080.png

For the same reason as "File:Doutrina e Convênios.jpg", I took these photos. The file File:Guns n roses lenny 1920x1080.png I made on Canva. In addition to the other uploads that were deleted, these four are my own. They were mass deleted by mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lennyonwiki (talk • contribs) 14:11, 21 June 2024 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose the GnR one, DW of copyrighted Guns 'N Roses albums. I'd like an explanation of how the first two are in scope. Abzeronow (talk) 18:40, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They were used on my user page Lennyonwiki (talk) 20:30, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, your edit count across Wikimedia doesn't strike me as you being a significant contributor yet. They definitely seem like personal photos. Abzeronow (talk) 20:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are personal photos. They were on my user page, it is personal and not being used on any article. Lennyonwiki (talk) 20:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Oppose Agreed. I see nothing educationally useful in the first two and a serious copyvio in the third. The cover of the Book of Mormon is completely irrelevant to the decision on these three. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 20:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah. I think the Guns N Roses photo might be a similar situation to the cover of the Book of Mormon. The album's cover is obviously copyrighted by the band, just as the book cover is written by the church. But it turns out that I was the one who made the editing on Canva. I don't know if that would be relevant. What could be done is to credit the art I made as the work of Guns N Roses and not mine, despite it being a montage made by me. Lennyonwiki (talk) 21:04, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's different since the book cover is simple text below the threshold of originality. The GnR covers are above COM:TOO USA. We would need the band's permission to host that file here. Abzeronow (talk) 21:10, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm, ok, didnt know that. Couldn't you just credit the band on the details? I dont know how to do that yet. Lennyonwiki (talk) 21:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Since is my art, I allow anyone to use it Lennyonwiki (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but it is also a derivative work COM:DW of the albums of GnR and also the band's logo. While the placement of the albums and logo, and how the logo is visually presented are your creative choices, the underlying creative work (albums and logo) are not yours, and thus we would need permission from the band.

File:Trieste Monumento Oberdan 014.jpg

Hi everyone, I'm writing in order to ask for the undeletion of this image, deleted after this DR in 2013. The depicted statue is part of the monument to Oberdan (it:Museo del Risorgimento e sacrario di Oberdan), commissioned by the Municipality of Trieste to the architect Umberto Nordio and to the sculptor Attolio Selva (see here). The whole building was inaugurated in 1934. Therefore it fell under Template:PD-ItalyGov in 1955, way before the URAA so no issue with US copyright.--Friniate (talk) 16:44, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I still don't understand why my photography was deleted as F1; I understood the GNR one, but these are my own photos I use on my user page. See the other request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ‎Lennyonwiki (talk • contribs) 06:54, 22 June 2024 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: You have been a user for so little that the other commenters are unsure these files could be kept on grounds of courtesy. Please ask for undeletion later, when you've had a longer tenure. oh, and don't make further requests just after some hours it was denied, it is disruptive. --Bedivere (talk) 16:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

File:Rivedoux-plage.jpg File:hinkleypoint.jpg File:thebullrun.jpg

I am the son of the artist Claude Henry Buckle and by inheritance I own the copyright of all images of the original paintings. The 1st and 3rd images are from 35mm slides owned by me and hinkleypoint appeared in a magazine on nuclear power. I own the original pencil sketches of Hinkley point A done by my father. I would like them re-instated as they appear in the wikipedia page on claude buckle and have been removed. Please note they are unique and do not appear anywhere else in commons.
