'''Files for discussion (FfD)''' is for listing images and other media files which may be unneeded or have either [[meta:Free content|free content]] or [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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 [[WP:NFCC|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 [[WP:DRV|deletion review]].

<div style="font-size:11pt;text-align:center;">

=== What not to list here ===
<div style="font-size:10pt;text-align:left;">
<ol style="list-style-type:upper-roman">
<li>For concerns not listed below, '''if a deletion is [[WP:PROD|uncontroversial]]''', do not use this process. Instead tag a file with {{tls|prod}}. However, if the template is removed, please do not reinsert it; list the file for deletion then.</li>

<li>For '''speedy deletion candidates''' as well, do not use this page; instead use one of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Deletion templates|speedy deletion templates]]. See the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|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.</li>

<li>'''Files that have no source, have an unknown copyright, are unused or replaceable non-free, or are non-free without [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale|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:
# {{Template link with subst|nsd}} if a file has no source indicated.  
# {{Template link with subst|nld}} if a file has a source but no licensing information.  
# {{Template link with subst|orfud}} if a file has a [[:Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates|non-free copyright template]] but isn't used in any articles.  
# {{Template link with subst|rfu}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but could be replaced by a free file.  
# {{Template link with subst and parameters|dfu|reason}} if a file has a non-free copyright template but the rationale isn't sufficient or is disputed.  
# {{Template link with subst|nrd}} if a file has no [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free use rationale]].  

</li>

<li>'''Redundant or duplicate files''' do not have to be listed here. Please use
#{{tlp|db-f1|''Full name of file '''excluding''' the "File:" prefix''}} for speedy deletion if the other file is on Wikipedia, ''not'' on Commons
#{{tlp|now commons|''File:NEW FILENAME''}} if the file now exists on Commons, or {{tl|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.)
</li>

<li>For '''blatant copyright infringements''', use [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] by tagging the file {{tl|db-f9}}.</li>

<li>If a file is '''listed as public domain or under a free license but lacks verification''' of this (either by a [[WP:VRT|VRT]] ticket number or a notice on the source website), tag it as {{tls|npd}}.
</li>

<li>Files that are '''hosted on [[Commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]]''' cannot be deleted via this process. Please use [[Commons:Commons:Deletion requests|the Commons deletion page]] instead.</li>

<li>'''Description pages with no local file''', even though they are in the file namespace, should not be listed here.
# Redirects should be treated as in any other namespace: if no speedy deletion criteria apply, they should be listed at [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion]].
# Local description pages with no associated file are speedy-deletable under [[WP:CSD#G8|criterion G8]]; use {{tl|db-imagepage}}.
# Local description pages for files hosted on Commons are usually speedy-deletable under [[WP:CSD#F2|criterion F2]] if there is no content relevant to Wikipedia; use {{tl|db-fpcfail}}.
# Any other local description pages for files hosted on Commons should be listed at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]].
</li>

<li>If a file is '''appropriately licensed and could be usable elsewhere''', consider copying it to the [[Commons:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] instead of listing it for deletion. Once copied to the Commons, it is eligible for [[WP:CSD|speedy deletion]] per criterion 8 for files.</li>

<li>If '''you are the uploader''' of the image, tag it with {{tl|db-author}}.</li>

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

{| class="wikitable"
|-
!style="background-color: #ecf1f1; font-family: serif; font-size: 2em;"|1
|<div><big>'''Edit the file page.'''</big></div>
Add {{Tlx|Ffd|log{{=}}{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}}} to the file page.
|-
!style="background-color: #dde1e1; font-family: serif; font-size: 2em;"|2
|<div><big>'''Create its FfD subsection.'''</big></div>
Follow '''<span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:ffd2_preload}} this edit link]</span>''' and list the file using {{Tlxs|Ffd2|File_name.ext|uploader{{=}}|reason{{=}}}} {{Tildes|code=yes}}

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 {{Tlxs|Ffd2a|File_name.ext|Uploader{{=}}}} for each additional file.  You may use [[toolforge:ftools/enwp/ffd2a.html|this tool]] to quickly generate Ffd2a listings.  Also, add {{Tlx|Ffd|log{{=}}{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}}} to the top of the file page of each file other than the first one nominated.
|-
!style="background-color: #ccd1d1; font-family: serif; font-size: 2em;"|3
|<div><big>'''Give due notice.'''</big></div>
Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using {{Tlxs|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 {{Tlxs|Ffd notice multi|First_file.ext|Second_file.ext|Third_file.ext}} {{Tildes|code=yes}} (can handle up to 26)
If the image is in use, also consider adding {{Tlx|FFDC|File_name.ext|log{{=}}{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}}} 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 {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-93}}, not {{#expr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}-99}}.
*'''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 [[Wikipedia:Threshold of originality|threshold of originality]] to be eligible for copyright in the United States and should actually be tagged free using {{Tl|PD-logo}}.

'''Examples of what files you may request for discussion, deletion or change here:'''
<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-right:5px;vertical-align:top;">

* '''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 [[Free content|freely licensed]] content, but may actually be protected by copyright in either the United States or its country of origin.
* '''[[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|NFCC]] violation''' – The file is used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but does not meet the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|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: [[c:Commons:Threshold of originality|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.
</div>

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 [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media Copyright Questions]].

== Instructions for discussion participation ==
In responding to the deletion nomination, consider adding your post in the format<br/> <code><nowiki>* '''View''' - Reasoning ... -- ~~~~</nowiki></code><br/> where "Delete", "Keep", "Comment", or something else may replace "View". In posting their reasoning, many editors use abbreviations and cite to the following:
* [[Wikipedia:NFCC#1]]&nbsp;– Free equivalent is/is not available
* [[Wikipedia:NFCC#8]]&nbsp;– Significance
* [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2]]&nbsp;– Unacceptable image use

Remember that [[Wikipedia:polling is not a substitute for discussion|polling is not a substitute for discussion]]. Wikipedia's primary method of determining [[wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] is through [[WP:EP|editing]] and discussion, ''not'' [[m:don't vote on everything|voting]]. Although editors occasionally use [[Wikipedia:Straw polls|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 [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change|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 <code><nowiki>'''Move to Commons'''</nowiki></code>, you can move it there yourself.  See [[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 [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Administrator instructions|here]].

== Old discussions ==
{{shortcut|WP:FFDO}}
The following discussions are more than 7 days old and are pending processing by an administrator:
{{#ifexpr:{{#invoke:XfD old|total}}>10|{{adminbacklog|bot=AnomieBOT}}}}
{{#invoke:XfD old|transclude}}

For older nominations, see the [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Archive|archives]].

== Discussions approaching conclusion ==
Discussions with at least 6 full days since nomination. After 7 days, they may be closed.
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-7 days}}}}

== Recent nominations ==

{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-6 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-5 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-4 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-3 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-2 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-1 day}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j}}}}

== Footer ==
<span class="plainlinks">Today is '''{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}'''. Put new nominations in [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]] – {{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|([{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit}} new nomination])|This page doesn't exist yet, please [{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|preload=Template:Ffd+log&action=edit&autosummary=Create%20FFD%20log%20page&autominor=true&autoclick=wpSave}} create it].}}</span>

If the current date's page has been started without the header, apply {{tls|Ffd log}} to the top of the day's page.

Please ensure "==={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}===" is at the very top of the new page so that internal page links from the main Files for discussion page (the one you're on now) work.

The page [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Today]] will always show today's log.
