Kept: procedural close; malformed deletion request with speedy delete tag within deletion discussion listing- No prejudging relisting, though I'd suggest doing so in smaller groups of related photos might be helpful. -Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 14:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Selfies, Therme are many more but it was suggested that I nominate in smaller batches

  •  Keep File:Germany-5484 - Me (12968649825).jpg, in use in info box to illustrate the photographer. Nothing wrong with contributor of many in scope photos taking an occasional selfie, but massive numbers of such are not appropriate nor useful on Commons. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 19:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep File:Lisboa, Mosteiro dos Jerónimos, claustro (33).jpg, as it’s the only one among 133 in its category showing a human, which may be useful to indicate scale or to showcase the fact that this location is crawling with tourists. (About the other “selfies” in this D.R. I would say keep them all, too, but honestly I don’t have time to check them all. So Paradise Chronicle wins: keep it like this and soon Commons will have zero files — mission accomplished, I guess.) -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 01:08, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @Tuvalkin I nominated them for deletion per this discussion, where a majority approved the deleting of selfies of non-contributors. This was just a tryout. First batch went good, that's why I nominated more the second time. Second was not so good, now this is a large discussion. I also saw that commons should not serve as a personal web host, but maybe I understood this wrong. Paradise Chronicle (talk) 07:24, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment I think "non-contributors" and how it is interpreted may be part of the issue. Dennis G. Jarvis as far as I know is not a direct contributor to Commons. Jarvis is however a frequent traveler to notable monuments and historic sites, taking numerous photos, some of good quality, and sharing them on Flickr under free license. More than a few are in use on Wikimedia projects, and many others are on Commons as useful additional illustrations of important places. Is Jarvis a contributor here, or a non-contributor? We don't seem to have language for something like "contributor one degree distant". If Jarvis is a non-contributor, he also has never uploaded a selfie to Commons. His photos were uploaded to his personal Flickr. I therefore suggest in a case like this we should focus less on the term "non-contributor" than on simple question of COM:SCOPE in deciding deletion. Various Wikimedians have different tactics when copying images from Flickr. I generally take care when copying from Flickr to avoid uploading individual images which do not seem in scope or are potential derivative work problems. That takes a bit more work at the start. Other Wikimedians prefer the easier path of just bulk uploading full sets from Flickr without curation. The gratuitous selfies by Jarvis are part of what was swept up here by this tactic. I agree that most of these are not useful for Commons - again going back to Scope. The ones that are voted "keep" are so voted because users see in some scope usefulness - for example the two of Jarvis on a camel, I voted keep because they illustrate camel riding - not because they are selfies, but rather despite being selfies they also show something in Scope. My perspective. Cheers, -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 16:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted: per nomination. Kept a few per discussion. --P 1 9 9  ✉ 18:56, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
