::I foolishly took it off my watchlist and can't track it down now, it was something to do with flowers and may have been part of my public domain uploads from [[:Category:Images from ReusableArt|ReusableArt]]. I'm asking about the principle rather than the example file (which I have no doubt was probably a bit duff in terms of quality, and so I would have probably agreed that Commons may well be better off without it) as the next time this happens, I would like to know how wise it would be to challenge the admin on their unilateral action. Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 10:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Fæ|Fæ]], on the principle admins delete without review a lot of files, generally files witout proper licence, proper permissions, obvious copyvios or even out of scope images. Personally I believe that notifying the contributors is the good thing to do so I generally tag, notify and delete. As we are humans and have a huge backlog to process, we may forget to notify sometimes. --[[User:PierreSelim|PierreSelim]] ([[User talk:PierreSelim|talk]]) 10:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
