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.

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.

Commons:Interwiki prefix titles and all associated redirects

I created this page in the past and redirected technical redirects from Wikipedia to this page, because Meta has the same. I changed the target of the previous redirect Real to Commons:Interwiki prefix titles because for technical reasons, "C:Real" on English Wikipedia redirects to this wiki, and I did the same for C: The Contra Adventure. For technical reasons, interwiki hard redirects aren't allowed. I don't see any other redirects from ENWP that could do this, but we could do this to pages on other wikis, too. Faster than Thunder (talk) 15:07, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Info I do not think that this page needs to be undeleted: it may be recreated if it is in COM:SCOPE.  No opinion in this matter, however. Ankry (talk) 15:05, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interwiki prefix titles on Meta is an operational page, and "Allowable page/gallery/category content" includes "Operational pages, such as templates and the like, including Commons-operational program listings." The Commons page got deleted with the reason, "That's not the way it works," and redirects to that page were deleted as cross-namespace redirects.

As said copyright on Bluto was not renewed  REAL 💬 ⬆   16:31, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Abzeronow and Krd: as the deletion nominator and the deleting admin. Ankry (talk) 14:55, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
My information at the time said that Bluto's copyright was in fact renewed. Abzeronow (talk) 21:33, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abzeronow: In Commons:Character copyrights, Bluto is mentioned as "not renewed". So? Yann (talk) 14:39, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Character copyrights can be difficult -- they don't expire all at once usually. Each time a new cartoon or episode or movie or whatever uses a character, and adds more details to their backstory or changes a drawing style or things like that, it sort of creates a new derivative work of the character. The copyright to the new details lasts 95 years from that date. So, characters don't expire all at once -- they expire bit by bit as each work that added detail or changed things expires. The original Mickey Mouse movie has expired, but lots of later details and appearance changes have not. I don't know how reliable it is, but https://pdsh.fandom.com/wiki/Bluto seems to say the original appearance comic was not renewed. But, it sounds like the character was altered in 1933, and those don't seem to be listed in the "public domain appearances". So if there are significant 1933 changes still under copyright, and this image incorporates those, there would be a problem. If this is the 1932 original, it would seem to be OK. I don't really know a lot about the history of that character. Carl Lindberg (talk) 02:10, 7 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"According to Articles 41 and 42 of the Copyright Act of South Korea, under the jurisdiction of the Government of the South Korea, a work made for hire or a cinematographic work enter the public domain 70 years after it has been made public. (30 years before July 1987, 50 years before July 2013)". So films published before 1957 should be in the public domain.  REAL 💬 ⬆   20:35, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it sounds quite clear:
1987 - This Act shall not apply to those works or parts of such works in which copyright has been expired in whole or in part, and which have not been protected by the provisions of the former Act before the enforcement of this Act.
2013 - 제3조(적용 범위에 관한 경과조치) 이 법 시행 전에 종전의 규정에 따라 저작권, 그 밖에 이 법에 따라 보호되는 권리의 전부 또는 일부가 소멸하였거나 보호를 받지 못한 저작물등에 대하여는 그 부분에 대하여 이 법을 적용하지 아니한다.

File:Ric Flair Big Gold NWA 1988 colored.png

@Abzeronow This was deleted because of the following copyright registrations made in 1992 ( Commons:Deletion requests/Professional wrestling magazines and Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by User:Sismarinho):

  1. V2833P041 for GC London Publishing, which covers the following titles:
    1. Inside wrestling
    2. Victory sports series
    3. World boxing
    4. Wrestling superstars
    5. The Wrestler
  2. V2833P043 for TV Sports Inc / GC London Publishing
    1. KO magazine
    2. Pro wrestling

but this was from "Wrestling's Main Event" which is not one of the listed magazines. I am also not sure that these were registrations at all, they are listed as "Recordation" not "Registration" and "Notes": "Assignment of copyright" between 2 parties. There would have been 4 years of valid copyrights to transfer since 1989, plus whatever issues were published with a valid notice.  REAL 💬 ⬆   23:33, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Hasan md shahriare profile pic.jpg

I am Hasan Md. Shahriare, a published researcher and CTO of Magnetism Tech Limited. My Wikidata item is Q135092463, which references my peer-reviewed IEEE publication (Q135179996).

I am both the subject and original photographer of the image. I re-uploaded the photo with a valid license (CC0 1.0) and added a neutral caption for Wikimedia-wide educational use, not self-promotion. The image is intended for use in my Wikidata item and possible future biographical content on Wikipedia and other projects.

I request that the deletion be reconsidered as the image supports an existing, notable Wikidata item with academic context and satisfies COM:SCOPE and licensing guidelines.

Thank you.

 Support Automatically in scope per COM:INUSE on Wikidata: d:Q135092463. The page is currently nominated for deletion with one keep !vote stating that it fulfills d:Wikidata:Notability#3 (fulfills a structural need), and I tend to agree; he is the author of d:Q135179996, which is inherently notable per d:Wikidata:Notability#2 as a publicly available scholarly work. Therefore, I expect the WD entry to be kept, and this image can be readded to that page. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:48, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Let's wait here for a decision in Wikidata. Ankry (talk) 12:16, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Neutral Just wonder, that who captured your profile picture? If that's just yourself then there's a concern called COM:SELFIE on restoration. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 00:53, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, copyright is another issue to be resolved if the Wikidata item is kept. On-wiki licensing per the "Own work" declaraion does not apply: (1) to photos that are not in the original camera resolution, (2) to photos without EXIF metadata, (3) to photos published elsewhere prior to upload to Commons, (4) to photos of identifiable (non-anonymous) authorship. At least few of the requirements are violated here. In any of the mentioned cases, a free license permission from the photo copyright holder through VRT may be needed unless the licensing can be proven basing on earlier publication. So even if it is undeleted, I will nominate if as {{No permission}}. Ankry (talk) 07:57, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Ankry: I don't think this is a universal requirement. The lighting and framing are obviously non-professional, making it very plausible for it to have been taken with a webcam or mobile phone on a stand. In these cases, it is reasonable to take the uploader at their word. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 16:45, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Old Front Nationale Logo.svg

This logo image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain just like the current Rassemblement National logo on wikimedia. --Ryegun (talk) 22:58, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Per Commons:Deletion requests/File:Old Front Nationale Logo.svg. Thuresson (talk) 23:12, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If this logo is considered to meet the threshold of originality, why are similar, unlicensed logos (kept under the PD‑textlogo rationale) treated differently? Commons policy (e.g. COM:TOO, COM:L, COM:LOGO) requires files to be free in both the source country and the U.S. If this file is copyrightable under that standard, shouldn’t the same reasoning apply to comparable cases? I’d appreciate clarification on which specific elements here are deemed original and how that differs from other retained logos. Ryegun (talk) 23:29, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not simply geometric shapes. Sources are: [1] [2]
SVG derived from: Movimento Sociale Italiano Logo.svg. France has a lower ToO than Italy. Abzeronow (talk) 00:11, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There are a few aspects that seem somewhat nebulous in that deletion request. I can't view the deleted file as such, so please tell me if I'm missing something. From what the uploader says, their file File:Old Front Nationale Logo.svg is essentially a copy of the file File:Movimento Sociale Italiano Logo.svg, with only the colour green changed to blue and the letters MSI at the bottom changed to FN (the result looking something like this). Whatever the copyright status of the basic design of the original file (File:Movimento Sociale Italiano Logo.svg) might be, most people would probably say that the small changes (colour and letters), are not copyrightable as such, in Italy nor in France. One argument of the nominator of the DR seems to imply that the basic design, which is essentially identical in the two files (excepted for the small uncopyrightable changes mentioned), would be below the threshold of originality in Italy but would be above the threshold of originality in France. I'm not sure that we can really make such a distinction between those two countries. It would seem more consistent to treat those two quasi identical files in the same manner. If File:Movimento Sociale Italiano Logo.svg is PD-textlogo, then so should the other file. Anyway, another question is why France would enter into consideration in relation with this design and Commons policy. The design being of Italian origin, and the changes being uncopyrightable, then logically the country of reference for the possibly copyrighted work, i.e. the design, is therefore still Italy. A third question is, in the hypothesis that the design would be copyrightable, what would be the year of expiration of the copyright? Probably not the years mentioned in the DR. According to File:Movimento Sociale Italiano Logo.svg, the author of the design would be Giorgio Almirante, a MSI founder whose life years are 1914-1988. So, if that attribution is correct, and if the design is even copyrightable anywhere, be it in Italy or in France, then the year of expiration of the copyright would be 2059. -- Asclepias (talk) 00:54, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak  Oppose. I have no idea why the Italian version is accepted on Commons, but this is certainly complex enough to have a copyright in France. Now if it was created before 1955, it may be in the public domain in France, but that remains to be proved. Yann (talk) 13:50, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
BTW Commons:Deletion requests/Files in Category:Logos of Movimento Sociale Italiano. Yann (talk) 13:54, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But for the policy of Commons, the only two relevant countries for a work of Italian origin are the United States and Italy. So, the only question is if it is freely usable or not in the United States and in Italy. That it (and any minor variation of it) might be freely usable or not in China, France, Egypt or other countries does not enter into consideration for Commons. It seems that the original was created circa 1947 (it:Fiamma tricolore). Contributors of Commons have made various slightly different redrawings. -- Asclepias (talk) 14:37, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I mostly agree. So PD-France may be OK, but PD-textlogo is certainly not. Idem for the Italian version. Yann (talk) 17:21, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:David Rohde deep state in America.png

I think that the image does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection because it consists only of simple geometric shapes and texts and also because it consists entirely of information that is common property and contains no original authorship.

I don’t agree. These are just words stacked on top of each other, arranged according to their standard positions (which is common-property information) on the Y and X-axis. It’s essentially like math: functional, not artistic. And since it’s neither artistic nor original, anyone has the right to arrange them that way on a graph. Super ninja2 (talk) 16:47, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Books are "just words" arranged in a particular way. "Arranged according to their standard position" does not make sense to me -- whose "standard position"? The arrangement represents the point of view of the author. Several words appear in two places.
Also, if this does not represent original and useful creative thinking, why did you upload it? .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:35, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are right that it is not a photo, but a personal file, I will change the deletion reason accordingly. AFAIK it is/was unused (just like File:Uriel signature.svg and File:URIEL BRG Headshot (FEB2024).png), it may have been used on enwiki and/or wikidata, but the pages on which it was used are deleted and the uploader is blocked there. All is part of a campaign to promote Uriel Bromberg or one of its stage names. I don't see a reason to restore the file, more likely the two files I mention should be deleted as well. --Lymantria (talk) 10:29, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So how did you just request the signature to be deleted too if it was approved for not containing copyright holders?? The signature is not a personal photo and was uploaded in 2022. The deleted page was deleted by you on Wikidata using the argument of not notable person, but Uriel Marshall is a known brazilian artist with notability in Brazil. Those files were uploaded years ago, did not happen right now, and was approved by administrators. You might be an admin on Wikidata and blocked me from using it but you are not an admin here. There’s no promotion for Uriel here, his page on Wikidata only covered personal details such as date of birth, place of birth and real full name. How was it promotion? JoshuaArmitage (talk) 11:45, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Ioannis Makro with Oscar nominated Woody Harrelson, during the 2018 World Chess Championship.jpg

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Ioannis Makropoulos (aka Ioannis Makro) using the alias IonMonkhouse in wikimedia commons.

My request is in regards the file

File:Ioannis Makro with Oscar nominated Woody Harrelson, during the 2018 World Chess Championship.jpg

I am portrayed in this file, along with my friend Mr. Woody Harrelson. The photo was also taken by my friend Niki Riga and she has provided me the right to post this picture, as I have done so in my website www.cinemakro.com.

I understand that my secretary did not upload this file correctly in my page, and I understand and respect the community rules, but at the same time, I hope you can understand how humbling - if not humiliating- is to have to ask for undeletion, not only for this picture, but also for pictures/screenshots of my books and films, etc, for which I have fought and struggled with tears and blood.

Ioannis Makropoulos 10 August 2025 IonMonkhouse (talk) 15:03, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@IonMonkhouse: Wkimedia Commons put a STRONG emphasis on the respect of copyrights and moral author rights. So, there's a lot of procedures established for checking, reviewing and approving (the rights on and over) material that enters the repository. This is for the benefit of everyone involved: the media producers, who can keep a baseline of control over their works as a gratitude for their contribution and anyone wanting to re-use media hosted here, as Commons says about itself being: "a collection of 124,769,722 freely usable media files[...]".
In your case, the author of a photograph is evidently not the uploader, so those check procedures kicked in. You may want to read Commons:Uploading works by a third party and Commons:VRT, especially the section about licensing images.
An undeletion will certainly occur when the evidence about a suitable licensing chain has been completed. That could be as simple as writing a photo legend or by-line on your homepage, stating: "Photo by Niki Riga, licensed with her permission under CC-By-SA 4.0", especially with this backstory here. (I, as a license reviewer wouldn't have qualms in accepting such an upload.) Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 17:08, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose I do not see this image or any free license on the named web site. Please note that your false claim that you made on the upload that you were the actual photographer makes it more difficult to believe anything you say. In order for the image to be restored here, the actual photographer, Niki Riga, must send a free license using VRT. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 17:06, 10 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason: Please restore under a Template:PD-textlogo license. This file has educational use as an example of w:Culture Jamming. The file is NOT a creation of the first uploader, but an image that has been in widespread usage on the internet since the 2000s, with no known original creator (which is irrelevant anyway as it's a textlogo parody of File:Coca-Cola logo.svg, which is in the public domain).

 Comment The uploader requested deletion of the file the day after she uploaded it, which is well within policy.

I would intend to use it on w:Culture Jamming as an example. Those involved in Culture Jamming occasionally alter commercial brand logos in a subversive way in order to make an anti-capitalist and/or an anti-consumerist statement. The best example to use on Wikipedia would be a recognisable logo, but one that is clearly and undisputed in the public domain under a Template:PD-textlogo license.

This one has existed for more than a year and is credited to Own work.

The basis for deletion is "unclear copyright tag", which is ridiculous, as I clearly and vividly recall adding the CC0 license to the file, as it's my own work, which is clearly accepted in the Euro coin photos, as the example has "Own Work" credited to the author. To top off everything, as "the problem" is the license, while the image displayed is under CC4.0 International License,a clearly more strict than mine, that was under CC0. Sorry if this was to exhaustive of a report, but I'm exasperated that this was deleted. This file should never have been deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earth605 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose Yann, this has {{own}} and {{self-cc-zero}} so I don't understand the deletion for copyright. However, the image shown above is 50% larger and is a much better photograph, so I see no reason to restore the subject image. .     Jim . . .

@Jim: Yes, the issue is not the picture, but the coin. Please see Asclepias below. Yann (talk) 15:00, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose The problem is not the photo. It's the coin. Greek euro coins cannot be reproduced freely. That applies also to this 1 euro coin. Although it draws inspiration from an ancient tetradrachm, it is a modern work. The designer and engraver is Geórgios Stamatópoulos and the coin is signed with his initials ΓΣ at bottom right. You can find previous deletions. "File:Eur.gr.100.png" passed under the radar. You can nominate it for deletion. -- Asclepias (talk) 13:45, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We should expand Commons:Currency#European_Union with a list or COM:CUR Greece or both, as a quick search does not give me a citation to add for the Greek status. Asclepias, perhaps you could do that, as you clearly know more about this than I do. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:26, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Law for Greece says: Article 3 par. 4 of Law. 2948/2001 provides that the reproduction is prohibited on medals and tokens of metal or any other object that could be seen as currency, of all or part of the depictions of the common and national sides of euro coins. For the other reproductions (in other objects, paper, etc.) there are not specific regulations, so the general provisions of the Law. 2121/1993, as is in force, shall apply.

 Oppose Active contributing users are allowed and encouraged to create user pages that tell us a little about them and show a few photographs. The key words there are "active contributing".

Deletion of File:Melkor and Sauron.jpg

Not sure why this file was deleted, nor why it does/did not show as used on our wiki: Morgoth. Obviously it took quite a while for me to notice - especially since I had no alert(s) that the file was being deleted. I would much prefer for it to be reinstated. --Hlingler (talk) 20:44, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Oppose per DR. Commons doesn't allow fair use and this is a copyrighted illustration that is not free. Abzeronow (talk) 21:28, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:The First Group company logo.png

I am requesting undeletion of this logo. I believe it was deleted because it lacked a non-free use rationale. I will immediately add a complete rationale that explains how its use in the article 'The First Group' meets all of Wikipedia's non-free content criteria.(Thrashermaniac (talk) 03:05, 12 August 2025 (UTC))[reply]

You may upload it locally on Wikipedia (such as on English WIkipedia, but not here on Wikimedia Commons since we don't accept COM:Fair use. However, I'm not sure that logo is above COM:TOO... what are the rules in United Arab Emirates? --Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 03:10, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
