:Back in November, Mattbuck kept telling me that I had to file deletion requests for files or files could not be deleted when [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_38#Hit_and_run_copyright_abuse_not_being_adequately_dealt_with I listed a number of copyright violations here] during a discussion about a pattern of copyright violations. Now, Mattbuck has deleted four of the seven images I listed above, without any deletion discussions. For one of them, his deletion comment was simply ''"Useless"''. For another, he writes ''"Test page or page with no valid content"'' although I'm pretty sure there was an image there when I listed it. I thought images couldn't be deleted without deletion requests (unless they are copyright violations) and those discussions are supposed to stay open for seven days. Did the rules change again, or do they just not apply to everyone? [[User:Delicious carbuncle|Delicious carbuncle]] ([[User talk:Delicious carbuncle|talk]]) 22:37, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

::Let's think about when are lawsuits usually issued? It's when 2 or more parties do not agree with each other. As long as everyone is happy, usually nothing happens. Do you oppose the deletion of these files? Did the uploader complain? Were they in use so something broke? Of course I do not call the proper procedure in question: Out of scope media should be deleted only as a result of a deletion request. If you now like to make a point demand their restoration and then nominate them for deletion. Happy editing. -- ''[[User:Rillke|Rillke]]''^{[[User talk:Rillke|(q?)]]} 12:35, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

:::Rillke, it is hard to disagree that an image is "useless" if one can no longer view that image. I find it odd that Mattbuck would take it on himself to decide which images were not useful on Commons, but not delete the copyright violations. In any case, if he's now willing to delete images I list here, I'll post some more:

:::Of course, some of these might be considered "personal images" for users who may go on to contribute featured image quality photos taken from their smart phones. Who knows?

::Forces external to the active Commons community continually strive to lower the barriers to uploading with little regard for our quality standards or for our problem domain's inherent complexity. We therefore have a growing number of upload interfaces over which we have no influence and which omit more and more necessary checks and instructions. Consequently, the share of irrelevant and illegal uploads is growing.
