Commons:Undeletion requests

Shortcuts: COM:UNDEL • COM:UR • COM:UND • COM:DRV

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.

Please read the instructions below, before requesting undeletion.

Enter a descriptive heading and press the button:

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 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.

Instructions for administrators

Use common sense. If, for example, a file was deleted for missing a source, and the requesting user is the photographer, the file can be undeleted without further discussion. If the user wishes to tag a file with a certain license, you can do that for them if you want to, or leave it to them to do it. However, it is important that you remove any speedy deletion templates from the file. In general, try to comply with the requests of well-intending users. Files can, for example, be undeleted for the requesting user to look at without the request itself having to be closed. The deleting administrator may undelete the file if compelled by the arguments or information provided. The deleting administrator may also participate in the discussion. The deleting administrator should, however, not close contentious requests as "Not done." When a debate is settled, close it with a remark such as "Not done" or "Undeleted" and add the template {{Udelh}} above the header and the template {{Udelf}} below your own comment. (The templates are short for "undelete header" and "footer.") Closed requests are automatically archived. When undeleting a file, reference the discussion (for example "Per https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Undeletion_requests/Current_requests&oldid=nnnnnnnn#Heading"). Files temporarily undeleted for transfer purposes should be tagged with {{Temporarily undeleted|transfer=yes}}. This places them into Temporarily undeleted files, a subcategory of Candidates for deletion, and automatically nominates them for speedy deletion after two days. Files temporarily undeleted to assist discussion should be tagged with {{Temporarily undeleted}}. These are automatically nominated for speedy deletion after thirty days.

Archives

Closed undeletion debates are archived daily.

File:Historische PLESSEN-Dokumente Rittergut Dolgen ausgefertigte Heimatverzichtserklärungen zu Dolgen im Entwurf, die abgelehnt wurden.pdf

Guten Abend, es handelt sich bei dem gelöschten File um ein familiengeschichtlich relevantes Dokument der Plessen-Familie. Das Dokument ist bzgl. des abgewickelten Rittergutes Dolgen von zentraler Relevanz und erklärt historische Fakten nach der Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands. Das Rittergut Dolgen ist insgesamt von enzyklopädischer Relevanz. MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 19:21, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

All of the people mentioned are identified by their real names by the Chairman of the Plessen-Family and I therefore see no violations of personal rights through the historical family document. - My mother Rosemarie Pfeiffer (geb. von Plessen) is dead. This is a historical- and one of the last documents of the Dolgener-Plessen-Family and it was the last with of my dead mother to complete the family documents, regarding "Rittergut Dolgen" of her suicided father Leopold Freiherr von Plessen, in an encyclopedic format for all Plessen-members and Wiki-readers. I think the chairman of the Plessen family - User:Christian von Plessen - also agrees, since he has publicly named everyone's real names.

Das historische Familiendokument der Plessen stammt - völlig klar erkennbar von User:Christian von Plessen - dem Vorsitzenden des Familienverbandes der Plessen. Ich denke, Herr Rechtsanwalt Dr. jur.

Die Freischaltung der vorstehenden Files würde die komplette jüngere Vergangenheit der sog.

Rechtsanwalt ... und auch niemals Rechtsanwalt gewesen, so denke ich. - MfG --Gordito1869 (talk) 19:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC) ... ps II. - ich denke, die aktive Untätigkeit des Vorsitzenden der Plessen - @(Christian von Plessen - resp. Rechtsanwalt (?) Dr. jur. Christian von Plessen - könnte als passive Zustimmung zur Freischaltung der historischen- & familiengeschichtlich besonders wertvollen Dokumente ausgelegt werden.

(Bei Wikipedia gibt es für diesen Fall eigens die "Liste der vermissten Wikipedianer". Eine Anfrage unter dessen hinterlegter e-mail Adresse wäre vor Aufnahme in die Vermisstenliste - rein aus Fürsorgegründen - dringend geboten, so denke ich. Auch die durch Herrn Rechtsanwalt Dr. jur.

Just to confirm that it is agreed that the privacy concern with regards to the files has been addressed and this is a successful undeletion request? --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 10:04, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

I can't even see the files, nor do I have access to oversighter communication channels, so I cannot confirm anything. Presumably the privacy concern has not been addressed, but that's what an oversighter would need to look into and possibly tell the uploader which parts of the documents would need to be covered/blocked/removed for a re-upload which was already suggested by the uploader (and then probably close this undeletion request as unsuccessful). Any other admins won't be able to move this forward. --Rosenzweig τ 10:40, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

@Raymond: Mind commenting on this? Google translate doesn't seem to be helping me to understand the situation. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 02:54, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

They are documents of Plessen-family history and historical value. Professor Ernst Münch (University of Rostock)-, the renowned writer Elisabeth Plessen and other experts were involved in the important Plessen documents and the matter at all; activation is also expected for scientific reasons. If there are data protection concerns, certain information may need to be blacked out, which is common practice. - If it causes "a headache", please at least unblock this one document regarding Dolgen-Manor : https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:R%C3%BCckabwicklung_des_Plessengutes_Dolgen_am_See.pdf&action=edit&redlink=1 --- All people involved were named personally by @Dr. jur.

Chilean TOO files

Hello there. I want to ask for the undeletion of some images from Chile that have been deleted as a result of the misleading effect a now-removed phrase included on the COM:TOO Chile had. Per my reasoning at Commons:Deletion requests/File:AbcdinLogo.svg, these files are not copyrighted in Chile as they are way too simple, and the former claim that the "Estamos bien los 33" was copyrighted was not correct, there was a "presumed copyright" which has since been disputed in court.

Some of the files include:

• File:Primera dama logo.png
• File:MegaDementeLogo.jpg
• File:Estación Vivaceta.png
• File:Mega.png
• File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1994-1995).png
• File:Logotipo de Teletrece (1970-1972).png

--Bedivere (talk) 19:59, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Was your statement in that DR a ruling by the court, or just an argument by one of the parties? Not sure we can take an argument by one party in a court case as evidence that they will win on that argument. That all said, if the authority that registered the phrase earlier did not have any obligation to determine if it was above the threshold of originality in the first place, then not sure the registration can be taken as evidence for their being a copyright (unlike the U.S., where a copyright registration comes with that determination, so if published as a registered work there, it's likely above the threshold). Carl Lindberg (talk) 21:53, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

That's correct. The registration authority just complies with registration requests without actually pronunciating or determining the registered work is or not copyrightable, that's what I've called presumed copyright. The court case is still ongoing (has been for several years for causes unrelated to the actual Leitmotiv). Sernageomin's position (to my knowledge of Chilean law, and as a graduate) is entirely correct, but it just helps (within the DR comment) to illustrate why giving the "Estamos bien..." registration as the cause for deletion of files such as those I've mentioned is not prudential, as the registration does not imply a copyright was actually generated, and including it in the TOO Chile page was not helping. You've understood the whole point though Carl. Just a close look at the pertinent law clears up the whole picture Bedivere (talk) 07:11, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

• I have restored Primera dama, MegaDemente and Mega as they seem to me, very clearly, too simple to be copyrighted in Chile, which was the reason to delete them originally. I'm unsure for the others, they are not trivial. Simpler versions of the Teletrece logos could be uploaded by leaving just the letters. I withdraw the request to undelete Estación Vivaceta as it is not too simple (as I thought it was when nominating). --Bedivere (talk) 02:45, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to have this brought back, as it is dated to 1928/1929 in the original facebook post, and the current process for uploading says that something is in the public domain in the us if it was published before 1929 – Big ooga booga mf (talk) 13:06, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Is it a Facebook user in the photo? Who is the man in the back? Thuresson (talk) 15:10, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

I do not know, I have never noticed him thus far . . . Big ooga booga mf (talk) 15:54, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

@Big ooga booga mf: Where exactly was it published before 1929? Definitely not on Facebook. Being made before 1929 is not enough for PD status. Ankry (talk) 00:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

"Фотографија од @Valja Trajkovska / Photograph from (repeat)"

the uploader was provided the photo by the woman mentioned above Big ooga booga mf (talk) 11:30, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

This is not about publication. I suspect that this is a private photo, unpublished before Facebook publication. Unless we know who the photographer is, it would be copyrighted 70 years since the FB post. At least in Russia. In US it may become PD 120 years afret creation, in 2050 (1929+120+1). Ankry (talk) 13:28, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

it seems to me as well that it might be a private photo, as a specific photographer is never mentioned anywhere, just a list of the family members & who "donated" the photo to the uploader Big ooga booga mf (talk) 13:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

 Support {{PD-Russia-1996}} should be OK with this one. Yann (talk) 12:23, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

ok with russian copyright? Big ooga booga mf (talk) 12:42, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

as in, specifically russian copyright Big ooga booga mf (talk) 12:56, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

 Oppose This was posted at a Macedonian Facebook page so Russian copyright law is probably not relevant. More importantly though, it looks like a Facebook user photoshopped himself into the photo (backrow), hence out of scope. Thuresson (talk) 04:18, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

perhaps, as it is strange that the left shoulder is missing on the background man, yet I've never seen the actual face of the guy behind the page "Егејскиот дел на Македонија". who knows who it could be Big ooga booga mf (talk) 09:16, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

It is also probably in the public domain in Macedonia ({{PD-North Macedonia}}), but I can't support a photoshopped image. Yann (talk) 09:21, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

i've contacted the original guy who uploaded it, he said he uploaded the image as it was given to him, so it being photoshopped is ruled out

now i've texted the woman who lent the photo to the guy behind "Егејскиот дел на Македонија", am just waiting on her response (which could be hours later, idk when she'll respond)

regardless, the guy who uploaded it on the aegean facebook page says the image in untouched Big ooga booga mf (talk) 10:44, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

i've had enough of waiting, i just asked his permission, he granted it (given that the original lady hasn't responded in 4 hours at least, nor has she gone online at all) Big ooga booga mf (talk) 15:12, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

i have been granted permission, what will happen to this file? or is it still being deliberated over? wherever y'all do that Big ooga booga mf (talk) 17:18, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Kevlo92400

These items were deleted "per nomination" and the nomination was that the uploader listed themselves as the creator: "very unlikely to be own work". The attribution was fixed prior to deletion, yet they were deleted. Another voter wrote delete because of "self-promotion" but loading images from a family archive of watchmakers is not self promotion. Providing images of one's ancestors is not self promotion, adding your own image would be self promotion, and even then, we are allowed to add a self image for our user pages. There were no images at all of the uploader. --RAN (talk) 18:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

 Comment I agree with you on scope, but some of these appear to be 1920s or 1930s photographs and File:Portrait de Théophile Joseph Lognoné (1869-1920).jpg could have been 1910 rather than 1900 as the receding hairline points more to 40 than 30. Did the uploader state that their ancestors were the photographers or merely that they were in a family archive? We'd need to have correct information on the copyright status and not assumptions that make it more convenient to keep the photos. Abzeronow (talk) 18:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment I closed the DR as a deletion because I considered they were all derivative with no sufficient indication on source, not because they were self promotion. In particular, Chateaubriand's bust was erected in 1998 and this artwork is not PD (BTW files in Category:Buste de Chateaubriand (Dol-de-Bretagne) are problematic). I would have appreciated to be contacted first or at least notified of this request. — Racconish ^💬 11:16, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• OK, I cancelled the support for the statue. Yann (talk) 12:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment Victor Even's medal is lifted from Ebay [1] and the uploader is obviously neither the engraver nor the seller. — Racconish ^💬 13:27, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• OK, I also cancelled that support. I thought that the issue was the copyright of the medal, which seems old enough. Yann (talk) 13:34, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

•  Comment File:Mariage de Marguerite Chanvril et Théophile Lognoné le 19 avril 1922 à l’Eglise Toussaints de Rennes.png is signed by a professional photographer and cannot be deemed to have "no author disclosure". — Racconish ^💬 13:55, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
  • I agree here.  Oppose restoration until at least 2043 unless we can find the death date for the signed photographer. Abzeronow (talk) 17:29, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
• What is the name of the photographer, I have access to the French death index. --RAN (talk) 18:01, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
  • It is difficult to tell at the low resolution used since it's cursive. Might be better if the uploader gave us a higher res scan of just the signature. Abzeronow (talk) 19:24, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
• @Kevlo007007: You claimed at one point that you are the heir to the Théophile Lognoné archive and the copyrights, you need to indicate which images were taken by Théophile Lognoné (1869-1920) or Théophile Julien Lognoné (1895-1974) and switch those to {{Cc-by-sa-4.0-heirs}} from their current CC license, and you need to file a VRT form. There are photos of his family taken in their home, so he owned a camera and was an amateur photographer. Images taken by third party photographers, the copyright belongs to them until they expire. Also write the family biographies at Familypedia (Fandom) first and work out the references there, that way if they get deleted at Wikipedia they will still exist at Familypedia. I started an entry there and left the link on your talk page. Wikidata links to Familypedia. Familypedia is part of Fandom and is the for-profit version of Wikipedia, started by the same guy. I know English is not your first language, but people are giving you good advice, but you do not always follow it. --RAN (talk) 18:11, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

  Good. I will follow it Kevlo007007 (talk) 22:52, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

You can start by rescanning File:Mariage de Marguerite Chanvril et Théophile Lognoné le 19 avril 1922 à l’Eglise Toussaints de Rennes.png You should scan all images at 600 dpi, you can always make smaller but can't add resolution. Store as a png file instead of a jpg, so they do net get overly compressed. --RAN (talk) 23:35, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

• You also need to file a COM:VRT and list what images were created by Théophile Lognoné (1869-1920) and Théophile Julien Lognoné (1895-1974). Those would be the images that you inherited the copyright to. I had asked you to do this over a month ago. List the correct person as the author= instead of adding your name. You are the uploader, not the creator. You are welcome to load the images to Familypedia, but there you also have properly list the correct author. Familypedia accepts fair use imagery for ones that you are not the copyright holder. If one of your articles get accepted at Wikipedia you can add in fair use images there too. --RAN (talk) 23:56, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for answering one question. OK, do you know who took the photograph? Merely possessing photographs isn't enough to prove a copyright, we need to know if an ancestor took the photographs or if they were taken by someone else.

The Dover Boys files

A few years ago some files from the film "The Dover Boys" were deleted, as per this deletion request, with the reasoning that the film is still copyrighted. The proof given was a document mentioning the film. However, lots of documents are filed later in regards to films, and just because it's mentioned that doesn't mean it's still copyrighted. What counts more in this case with a film from 1942 is if the film's copyright was renewed. A glance through the copyright catalogs for 1969-1971 returns no renewals. That would mean the film is in public domain, as it says in the article "List of animated films in the public domain in the United States" on Wikipedia, which has credible sources. The document in the deletion request contains quite a few films besides "The Dover Boys" which didn't have their copyrights renewed. I want the files to be restored and put in Category:The Dover Boys at Pimento University since I see no reason the files should be deleted. Grey ghost (talk) 21:20, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

It is true that the deletion reason was a citation to a "Recorded Document", which is just a statement filed with the Copyright Office on copyright transfers, terminations, and some other housekeeping stuff related to copyright. They are not themselves a registration or renewal, and can include works never registered or works that have expired. It is simply a statement made for the public record, and making things easier to research and trace. It is not an indication that the copyright still existed -- you would need to find an explicit renewal record for that. I did a quick search and could not find one, though I wouldn't put much stock in that. However, it sounds like more careful searches have been done, and the deletion reason was definitely wrong, so  Support. Carl Lindberg (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2024 (UTC)

Reason: These files have been deleted in accordance with the discussion Commons:Deletion requests/Screenshots from Salo (film). The nominator noted that this Italian film was released in 1975 with a US copyright notice. But this is a mistake. The file the nominator linked to (it:File:Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma 001.jpg) is not the original screenshot from the 1975 film, but a screenshot from a later DVD release (no one was releasing a DVD in 1975). There is no reason to believe that the copyright was registered not only in Italy but also in the USA at the time of the film's release. Filming places was be Bologna, Castelfranco Emilia and Mantua. According to the legislation of Italy, where this film was shot, frames of the film are protected by copyright for 20 years (Art. 92 of Law for the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring Rights n.633). Since the film was first screened on 22.11.1975 at the Paris Film Festival (filmed between 03.03.1975-09.05.1975), it was in the public domain as of the Copyright Restoration Date (URAA) of 01.01.1996 (22.11.1975 + 20 years = 22.11.1995).

I see no reason to believe that screenshots from a DVD release or a Blu-ray release are sufficient grounds for removing a files. In addition, judging by the resolution of the files, they are not from this DVD.
