Files for deletion
Files for deletion (FfD)
is for listing images and other media files which are unneeded.
Files that have been listed here for more than
7 days
are eligible for deletion if either a consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to deletion have been 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 — see
burden of proof
." 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
If you have questions if something should be deleted, consider asking at
Media Copyright Questions
Examples of what you may request 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- The file has been replaced by a better version.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.
NFCC violation
- The file is used under a claim of
fair use
but does not meet the
requirements

What not to list here
සංස්කරණය
I. For speedy deletion candidates, do not use this page; instead use
{{
db
|reason}}
. 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.
II. Files that have no source, or have an unknown copyright, or 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:
{{
subst
nsd
}} if a file has no source indicated
{{
subst
nld
}} if a file has a source but no licensing information
{{
subst
orfud
}} if a file has a
non-free copyright tag
but isn't used in any articles
{{
subst
rfu
}} if a file has a non-free copyright tag but could be replaced by a free file
{{
subst
dfu
|reason}} if a file has a non-free copyright tag but the rationale isn't sufficient or is disputed
{{
subst
frn
}} if a file has no
non-free use rationale
If the source or licensing information of an image marked as being freely licensed is disputed, please list the file on
Possibly unfree files
III. Redundant or duplicate files do not have to be listed here. Please use
{{
isd
Full name of file
excluding
the "File:" prefix
}}
for speedy deletion if the other file is on Wikipedia,
not
on Commons
{{
subst
ncd
|image name on Commons}} if the file now exists on Commons, or {{
subst
ncd
}} 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.)
IV. For blatant copyright infringements, use
speedy deletion
by tagging the file {{
db-f9
}}
V. Suspected copyright violations shouldn't be listed here.
If a file is listed as public domain or under a free license, but lacks verification of this (either by an
OTRS
ticket number or a notice on the source website), tag it as {{
subst
npd
}}.
For other suspected copyright infringements or licensing issues, use
Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files
VI. Files that are hosted on
Wikimedia Commons
cannot be deleted via this process. Please use
the Commons deletion page
instead.
VII. 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 criteria 8 for files.
VIII. If you are the uploader of the image, tag it with {{
db-author
}}.
Instructions for listing files for deletion
To list a file:
Edit the file page.
Add
{{
ffd
|log=2026 අප්‍රේල් 24}}
to the file page.
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=
}}
Give due notice.
Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using
{{subst:fdw|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:fdw-multi|First_file.ext|Second_file.ext|Third_file.ext}} ~~~~
(can handle up to 26)
If the image is in use, also consider adding
{{
ifdc
|File_name.ext|log=2026 අප්‍රේල් 24}}
to the caption(s), or adding a notice to the article talk pages.
State the reasons why the file should be deleted. Some common reasons are:
Obsolete
- The file has been replaced by a better version. Indicate the new file name (often abbreviated
OB
Orphan
- The file is not used on any pages in Wikipedia. (If the file is only available under "fair use", please use {{
subst
orfud
}} instead). Please consider
moving "good" free licensed files to Commons
rather than outright deleting them, other projects may find a use for them even if we have none; you can also apply {{
Copy to Wikimedia Commons
}} . (often abbreviated
OR
, not to be confused with
original research
which generally doesn't apply to images)
Unencyclopedic
- The file doesn't seem likely to be useful in this encyclopedia (or for any Wikimedia project). Images used on userpages should generally not be nominated on this basis alone unless the user is violating the
Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
policy by using Wikipedia to host excessive amounts unencyclopedic material (most commonly private photos). (often abbreviated
UE
Low quality
- The image is of an extremely low resolution, distorted, or has other physical image quality concerns. (often abbreviated
LQ
Copyright violation
- The file might be used in violation of copyright. (often abbreviated
CV
These are not the only "valid" reasons to delete a file. Any properly explained reason can be used. The above list comprises the most common and uncontroversial ones.
Since abbreviated deletion reasons will not be familiar to most Wikipedians, especially newbies, please consider using full words. A few extra keystrokes now can save paragraphs of explanation to a panicked uploader wondering what's wrong with their image.
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.

Instructions for discussion participation
සංස්කරණය
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:
Wikipedia:NFCC#1
– Free equivalent is/is not available
Wikipedia:NFCC#8
– Significance
Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2
– Unacceptable image use
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.
