::::::Yes, [[:File:Beautiful red flowers in garden.jpg]] which would have been uploaded from [http://www.public-domain-image.com/plants/garden-park/slides/beautiful-red-flowers-in-garden.html public-domain-image.com] on a suitable PD licence with the photographer named in the release. The image is not great, but it is 1600x1200 pixels and realistically of an educational purpose. This out of process deletion was neither notified to be by the deleting admin ({{user|Pitke}}), nor was there any deletion discussion or process that I am aware of. Again, I would appreciate some advice on whether I ought to complain in such a scenario, or whether this should be considered normal behaviour for Commons Administrators. Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 12:40, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:::::::Hi Fæ, after looking into it, yes, this deletion seems to be out of procedure. If happening in single (or few) instances, a direct contact to the deleting admin might be best (which I've done now). Only if that doesn't help or if it concerns a huge number of files, a AN complaint might be justified. --[[User:Túrelio|Túrelio]] ([[User talk:Túrelio|talk]]) 13:05, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

:::::::That red lily pic (as linked above) is a rough quality, but more importantly, an unidentified cultivar and such merely a 200th image we already have of "beautiful red lilies", and clearly in the lower end when it comes to clarity of subject. (The lily-specific ctegorising is in its early stages, but it'll come together later on. For now, I'm combing through Cat:Flowers) Keeping/restoring files for user's personal use, whether they are facial portraits or something else, is rather questionable, especially when those files already are freely available elsewhere. --[[User:Pitke|Pitke]] ([[User talk:Pitke|talk]]) 06:27, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
 

 

 
:Hi [[User:Fæ|Fæ]], on the principle admins delete without review a lot of files, generally files without 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)
