Files for discussion (FfD) is for listing images and other media files which are unneeded or have either or 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 no objections to deletion or removal 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." 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.

Examples of what files you may request for deletion or change here:

If you have questions if something should be deleted, consider asking at Media Copyright Questions.

Instructions for listing files for discussion

To list a file:

Add {{|log=2017 May 2}} to the file page.

Follow and list the file using {{subst:|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If the file has been replaced by another file, name the file that replaced it in your reason for deletion.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:|File_name.ext |Uploader= }} for each additional file. Also, add {{ffd|log=2017 May 2}} to the top of the file page of each file other than the first one nominated.

Inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page using {{subst:|File_name.ext}}

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:


Some common reasons for deletion or removal from pages are:

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.
