: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)

::I am familiar with [[Commons:Administrators#What is an administrator?]], this includes deleting files in certain circumstances, but specifically does not include deleting files based on a personal assessment of quality in the list of typical actions. The scenario I am raising was not a copyright problem (the file would have been public domain), the source would have been good and there was no other explanation other than the Admin thought the file was of a lesser quality than other images on Commons - a deletion rationale that I would have expected to require the support of a Deletion request or similar consensus process. Could you point to a guideline or policy that includes such a scenario and advises as to the norms that apply here for the behaviour of administrators? Thanks --[[User:Fæ|Fæ]] ([[User talk:Fæ|talk]]) 10:56, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
