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.

Commons deletion (policy)
v • d • e

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

Note: This list might be outdated. For a more complete list, see meta:Non-free content (this page was last updated: March 2014.) Note also: Multiple projects (such as the ml, sa, and si Wikipedias) are listed there as "yes" without policy links.

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:ROC Ministry of National Defense Seal.svg

Please restore the following pages:

Reason: This file had been deleted per this DR due to "Logos are not covered under {{PD-ROC-exempt}} or {{GWOIA}}" and then it was re-uploaded by User:人人生來平等.

However, according to the email response by the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office "故政府機關之部徽、署徽或局徽，如其形式係依法所制訂者，依著作權法第9條，不得為著作權之標的。" (English Machine Translation: "Therefore, the emblems of ministries, departments or bureaus of government agencies, if their forms are made in accordance with the law, shall not be the subject of copyright in accordance with Article 9 of the Copyright Law." ) Since this logo is the Seal of Ministry of National Defense, in my opinion, it is not copyrighted and is covered under {{PD-ROC-exempt}} . The previous delete decision should be overturned and the previous page history also need to be recovered. cc @Wcam, Mdaniels5757, and Ericliu1912: Thanks. SCP-2000 18:44, 24 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@SCP-2000: If the emblem is made in accordance with the law, such law needs to be specified. In the email you quote, the national flag is defined in 中華民國國徽國旗法第4條, and the Taipei City's seal is defined in 臺北市市徽市旗設置自治條例第4條. A seal/emblem/logo is only in the PD if it is based on a law.

File:Portrait_de_Nicolas_&_Bruno.jpg

Bonjour, désolé je ne suis pas un spécialiste de wikipedia mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi la photo dont je suis l'auteur a été refusée sur la page de "Nicolas et Bruno" que j'actualise régulièrement.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_et_Bruno

Je me suis sans doute trompé dans la définition de la licence. Je souhaite que cette photo soit libre de droit, dans le domaine public, sans restriction d'un quelconque copyright.

Parallèlement on m'a informé que ma photo a été utilisée sur le site Focus-cinema, mais à l'époque avec mon autorisation. >>>> Reason for the nomination: file under copyright (See https://www.focus-cinema.com/7741868/what-we-do-in-the-shadows-vampires-entre-toute-intimite-sortira-fin-octobre-en-france/)

Pouvez-vous m'aider et me donner la procédure pour que ma modification soit possible? Ou pouvez-vous le faire vous-même?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide! — Preceding unsigned comment added by FilmsChecker (talk • contribs) 15:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC) (UTC)Reply[reply]

@FilmsChecker: Bonjour,
Avez-vous l'image originale ? Si oui, vous pourriez l'importer pour prouver que vous êtes bien le photographe. Si non, il faudra confirmer la licence par email en suivant la procédure à COM:VRT/fr. Cordialement, Yann (talk) 15:40, 6 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Question Isn't this resolution a standard for this camera model? Ankry (talk) 17:00, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Aha -- I think you are probably right, but it does appear in a number of places without a free license. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 23:18, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do any of those other places include the EXIF? The one I found does not. Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:32, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Support undeletion of the deleted version as the uploader was able to upload the version with EXIF. However, this is probably not meaningfull at the momen as the original version is not deleted~and I see no reason to do so. Ankry (talk) 13:02, 24 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ankry has a valid point. Unless there is an indication from any uploaders site, appearances on other places doesn't matter. The higher version is here and the uploader is of course not spamming (or wrongly regarding others work as own). ─ The Aafī (talk) 20:40, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Jebi Aug 3 2013 0605Z.jpg

Reason: The original reason of the delete was it's an "exact or scaled-down duplicate of File:Jebi Aug 03 2013 0605Z.jpg." However, the image in question was a scaled-up version I made in MS Paint, and did not have good quality. Therefore, I request for the original image to be brought back. 👦 14:42, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi, How a scaled-up version made in MS Paint in in scope for Commons? Yann (talk) 17:04, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, I got confused by my wording there. The deleted image was the original file, while this file was the scaled-up one, although I reverted it. It should be within COM:EDUSE. 👦 03:02, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Carlos-Meyer-Baldo.jpg

The image was taken during Baldó's military service during World War I, between 1914 and 1918, and Carlos Meyer Baldó died in 1933. The image's age means that it already is in the public domain per {{PD-old}}, and in the worst case scenario media enters in Venezuela's public domain after 60 years of its publication ({{PD-Venezuela}}). --NoonIcarus (talk) 00:10, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@NoonIcarus: When was this photo first published in Venezuela? Thuresson (talk) 01:59, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@NoonIcarus: Who is the photographer and has she or he been dead for 70 years? Thuresson (talk) 10:28, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Comment If the above questions remain unresponded, {{PD-old-assumed}} can be applied in 2039. Ankry (talk) 15:39, 29 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The picture was first published in 1918, along with other pictures ([1]), during Baldó's service as an instructor (Fluglehrer) at the Fighter Squadron School Nr. II to train Jasta pilots. The copyright law in Venezuela does not consider the author's death for media such as photographs (unlike music, for instance), but rather its publication date. At any rate, {{PD-US-expired}} also applies given that the picture was published before 1928. Best wishes. --NoonIcarus (talk) 20:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The deleted file appears to have a modern colorization, which could have its own copyright. Abzeronow (talk) 20:39, 30 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Abzeronow: Ah, I wasn't aware of that. Was it already in its original version or was it added by an user? In the case of the former, I can withdraw my request and ask for undeletion to be applied in the respective years (like 2039). --NoonIcarus (talk) 01:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There is only one version that we have (the colorized version). Abzeronow (talk) 16:34, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Oppose The template "PD-Old" can not be used without knowing who the photographer is and when she or he died. "PD-Venezuela" can not be used without providing the authorship and publication details. If the photo was first published on Twitter, it may be undeleted in 2081. Thuresson (talk) 04:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The image was not first published in Twitter (Twitter's version is black and white while the deleted one is colorized, for instance). It was simply provided for context about the other images it was first published with. --NoonIcarus (talk) 11:48, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Bukarester: Probably support, but could you find Théophile Bradeau's death date? Yann (talk) 21:35, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Information is unavailable, but
2024 - 70 = 1954
Life expectancy for a male in France in 1954 was 67.69 according to this
Means he must have been less than around 25.69 years old at the start of the construction of the hotel in 1912, which, as an established French architect who had the opportunity to build a world class hotel abroad, he was not.
My work can be deleted if you can prove otherwise. --Bukarester (talk) 18:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Bukarester: The file is deleted, so your permission is irrelevant at the moment.
It is up to the uploader to provide an evidence about the copyright status, not up to anybody else to prove otherwise.
Life expectancy is an average value; about 50% people is expected to live longer. Why do you think that he is in the other 50%? For unknown cases we have {{PD-old-assumed}} as a policy. But this needs us to wait till 2033. Ankry (talk) 00:07, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It would be useful if we have a date when Théophile Bradeau started working. So if for example, he started working before 1900, we can assume that he died before 1954. Yann (talk) 07:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
At least, he is not in the database of death in France (from 1970 onwards). Yann (talk) 18:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Ankry I didn't know about {{PD-old-assumed}} being a rule, it's not mentioned or linked on any of the informative pages on the topic. I thought common sense would prevail - to have you understand my point from before, Bradeau couldn't have possibly been under 40 years old designing a project of such importance and technical/logistical difficulty in 1912. --Bukarester (talk) 13:23, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Even if we agreed with this guess at Bradeau's age in 1912, he could have lived to 95 and died in 1967 per your logic. There are too many unknowns to be certain Bradeau died before 1954. Abzeronow (talk) 18:33, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
 Oppose per Ankry. If we don't know the death date, the cutoff is 120 years from creation. So we would need to wait until 2033 unless a death date that we can verify is found or if Romania introduces a FoP that is acceptable to Commons. Abzeronow (talk) 00:13, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Not done, Théophile Bradeau (Q20870685) has a Wikidata entry since 2015, please make a new request if information about year of death can be found. Thuresson (talk) 18:55, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Buenas, necesito que algún administrador restaure la imagen por que la Bandera del Municipio Libertador de Caracas, Venezuela es una invención por eso está en el Dominio Público según el Articulo 325 de la Ley Orgánica del Trabajo, Trabajadores y Trabajadoras en Venezuela. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AbchyZa22 (talk • contribs) 23:16, 1 January 2024‎ (UTC)Reply[reply]

Per Commons:Coats of arms, each rendering can have its own copyright. Was this a user-drawn version or copied from a copyrighted source? Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Clindberg:Buenas, pero en el artículo 325 dice:Invenciones, innovaciones y mejoras en el sector público
La producción intelectual generada bajo relación de trabajo en el sector público, o financiada a través de fondos públicos que origine derechos de propiedad intelectual, se considerará del dominio público, manteniéndose los derechos al reconocimiento público del autor o autora.

As mentioned in the other discussions you started last week about art. 325 at HD and VP/C, that argument is not necessarily convincing without authoritative interpretation by courts or doctrine and without evidence that these artworks by independent artists meet the factual conditions. Even if hypothetically it applied, that would be for the Venezuelan copyright, not for the United States copyright. However, the concept of the flag designed in 2022 by María Jiménez and Víctor Rodríguez might be (or not) too simple for copyright, but even then, each particular artistic rendering of it can be copyrighted. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:04, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If it's truly a vector version drawn by a contributor, I'd lean towards keeping it. If it was extracted from a PDF of a government source (or is an SVG wrapper around a bitmap taken from another unlicensed source), then I'd go the other way. I would treat each drawing as its own copyright (even the choice of vector points in an SVG can in theory have a copyright, if complex enough, beyond the rendered image).

@Clindberg: Given that any drawing must be derived from the original 2022 design by Jiménez and Rodríguez, do you evaluate that their work is below or above the threshold for copyrightability? The composition with the triangles of colour, the star and the mountain is not as simple as bands of colour, but it's not very complex either. -- Asclepias (talk) 19:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Often the design is an idea, with each drawing a particular expression of that idea. That is more straightforward with seals with a written blazon -- a drawing cannot be derivative of the written description. But in general we seem to allow self-drawn images of flags too. Furthermore, as far as the design is part of law, that part would be {{PD-EdictGov}}. Any additions done by a private party (even particular vector points) may qualify for copyright though, so we often look at the history of the specific drawing. If it's the flag as seen here, the only part which may be copyrightable is the very specific outline of the mountain or hill or treetops or whatever that is, which likely differs a little between versions and so they may well not be derivative of each other. If that image was self-drawn without slavishly copying the outline, I would restore it. A lot of this gets into highly theoretical territory, as it would probably be near impossible for a country or city to sue over copyright infringement of a flag, where the scope of fair use and PD-edict is probably pretty wide. I think as such, we would respect any copyright of a privately-drawn version, but if self-drawn it's probably fine. (Individual government drawings may not be OK though; we tend to not copy those from websites.) Carl Lindberg (talk) 00:15, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Asclepias:Buenas, una pregunta que pasaría si el Artículo 325 de la Ley Orgánica del Trabajo los Trabajadores y Trabajadoras en Venezuela es Constitucional, es posible restaurar la foto de la Bandera?? AbchyZa22 (talk) 23:24, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@AbchyZa22: A) Constitutionality is only one of several questions to which we do not have answers for now. Other questions, already mentioned above, are B) can the intended goal and scope of 325 include this type of artistic works and, if so, C) does the particular work meet its conditions of application? (Did the two authors get any money and, even then, would their flag proposal be considered "financiada" solely for winning the first prize in the contest?) Again, all that sounds like specialized matters of Venezuelan law. Getting reliable answers require research in court decisions and doctrinal texts or the help of jurists in Venezuelan law. However, and fortunately, we probably do not need to consider that at all here. From the above discussions, if the original flag is considered to be below the "Umbral de originalidad" ("threshold of originality"), both in Venezuela and in the United States, and if the subsequent svg drawing is considered to be the own work of the uploader, then this file with the flag could be undeleted under that rationale only. (It is different for the other file with the coat of arms, wich is above the threshold of originality and directly reproduced.) -- Asclepias (talk) 01:24, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The logo does not appear to go over the threshold of originality. It is just a simple circle of shapes in a nondescript color of red with no other identifying features. Looking at the TOO page, a similar example logo that was allowed to be uploaded was the Car Credit City logo which is also just a series of shapes in the color red. The original deletion request also seems noncommittal about whether it, or the other logos included in the request, went over the threshold. I wish for this logo to be reinstated so I can put it on its article again for archival purposes. It's a defunct web browser for a defunct operating system made by a defunct company. --StreetcarEnjoyer (talk) 00:02, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

als Vorsitzender des Wissenschaftlichen Beirates der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde e. V. beantrage ich hiermit die Wiederherstellung des oben benannten Digitalisates mit nachfolgender Begründung: 1. Die Abbildung des Covers von Heft 93 des OuE-Magazins ist insoweit urheberrechtlich unbedenklich, da a) die Zeitschrift von der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde herausgegeben wird und daher keine Urheberrechtsverletzung vorliegt, d. h. die Rechte für die Veröffentlichung der Zeitschrift liegen automatisch bei der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Ordenskunde und b) die Farbabbildung auf dem Cover ist einer Publikation aus dem Jahr 1868, so dass auch hier alle Urheberrechte abgelaufen sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund bitte ich Sie, die Löschung der Abbildung rückgängig zu machen.

"Simple photographs" are sold to the sitter. Simply using a flash does not elevate a portrait to a work of art. If the law was meant to protect anonymous "commercial photography", it would have used that phrase in the law. --RAN (talk) 19:14, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    It was stated on frwiki that this work is from after 1916, when he is living in Paris (France). Do you have any serious reference about 1914 or is it just a guess? — Metamorforme42 (talk) 22:41, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • 1914 is the date that was on the file before it was deleted. If there is evidence that this is from 1916 or after, yes, it would be public domain as a French artwork. Abzeronow (talk) 22:45, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

File:Mia Pečnik cropped.jpg

While the file was probably not uploaded quite right (sorry for that I am new to this) The owner of the picture is not the owner of the website I got the picture from, i just thought it to be mandatory to leave a link. The original photographer is Marko Pletikosa. Mia Pečnik (the person on the picture) is a personal friend and has allowed me to upload the picture. I highly doubt, that the website I named as source had permission to use it themselves. I am truly sorry for anything i have done.--SimonIMichel (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Also if I should then upload it someway else, please advise. As I said, I'm very new to this stuff... SimonIMichel (talk) 01:50, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Some User has deleted her page saying below.

Our response to it is,

1. The Author owns the Copywrite of the book and to prove this, we have added a document. Click to see the proof that we hold the copywrite. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19aMZv1O9lqMUDEFvBy-eUi4gWNwGhUkb/view?usp=drive_link

2. We are okay not using the images ( If that's the new rule) but we need to be undeleted as soon as possible. We are ready to follow the new guidelines too.
