User Tnrajab's uploads
[edit]I just tagged a bunch of files uploaded locally by Tnrajab with {{npd}}, but think that many of them (if not all) are the same as the files you and Hoary nominated for deletion at c:Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Tnrajab. Are they the same? My guess is that this might be someone related to Draft:Tareq Al-Sayid Rajab due to the choice of username and just thinks physical possession makes them the copyright holder of the photos. It might be possible that some are now PD for some reason (like the one with Thatcher and the one with Prince Charles), but that's going to take quite a bit of digging to figure out. -- Marchjuly (talk) 19:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't remember for sure but the self-portrait certainly rings a bell, and the others certainly have the same issues even if they are not the same images. You may wish to check with the deleting Commons admin to verify. -- Whpq (talk) 19:42, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the ping, Marchjuly. My visual memory is disappointingly vague, but I can say that several, perhaps all, seem very similar to what I listed for deletion. I agree with Whpg. -- Hoary (talk) 22:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks Whpq and Hoary for taking a look at these. Since I tagged the local files for speedy deletion per F11, things will be resolved one way or the other in a few days. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

[edit]Is it better to tag NC files like this for speedy deletion per F3 or F9? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:42, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Either works. I personally use F3 but it also qualifies as F9. -- Whpq (talk) 04:44, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Administrators' newsletter – September 2024
[edit]News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2024).
- Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which
applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past
. - A request for comment is open to discuss whether Notability (species) should be adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- Following a motion, remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) were repealed.
- Remedy 3C of the German war effort case ("Cinderella157 German history topic ban") was suspended for a period of six months.
- The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
- Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in September 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,900 articles and 26,200 redirects awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
PVZ CSD declined
[edit]Saw this and wanted to know why it was exactly declined. I know I didn't bring an actual criteria from CSD, but since literally everyone in the afd says delete, wouldn't it fit for a speedy per WP:AVALANCHE and WP:IAR? If I really do need a specific criteria, I'd say G14 would match. TheWikiToby (talk) 03:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I declined it because you pointed to WP:AVALANCHE. That is an essay about early closures of discussions. It is not one of the criteria for speedy deletion. You can request an admin close the discussion early, but that is different from a speedy deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 04:14, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
