:Hi, I will make sure I remember {{tlx|speedy| ''reason here'' }} from now on. Since I update all Wikimedia pages that use the file prior to tagging the redirect for deletion, there is no issue with proceeding with the deletion. However, the Commons is not supposed to be used for linking images onto other sites. People that wish to do that would need to copy the image onto their own web sever like [http://www.imageshack.us/ ImageShack].

::No, that's incorrect beyond doubt. Usage on other public Wikimedia wikis is just one of the many references. It's the only one we can track ([[Special:GlobalUsage]]), but just because you replaced those that doesn't mean the file is no longer referenced. There is lots of references that we can't track:

+
::* Private Wikimedia wikis

+
::* [[mw:InstantCommons]]

+
::* bookmarks

+
::* [https://blog.wikimedia.org/2013/03/14/what-lua-scripting-means-wikimedia-open-source/ Hotlinks from sites like blog.wikimedia.org]

+
::* [[m:Don't delete redirects|more...]]

::There is absolutely no reason to delete them. It doesn't help anything in any way (it doesn't save space either, and even if it would, the other reasons would justify the space). –''[[User:Krinkle|Krinkle]]''^{[[User talk:Krinkle|talk]]} 14:22, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
