If this template was added because you clicked "Mark for deletion" in the left menu (right when using Vector 2022 skin), please make sure that all necessary pages have been created. If they haven't been created after a few minutes, or if you added this template manually, you should complete these steps:
- 1 Visit the deletion requests subpage and place the following code:
{{
subst:
delete2|image=Files uploaded by Xasartha|reason=I am nominating most (but not all) of the Indigenous Flags uploaded by Xasartha. These are all flags that are too complex to be PD-ineligible. Xasartha has consistently uploaded these files claiming to be the author on the basis they recreated an image they saw elsewhere on the internet, and "released" it as Creative Commons. Consistently, the true designers of the flags are not credited. These files fall under a mix of US and Canadian copyright jurisdiction, but as I understand it, neither nation will let somebody reproduce a copyrighted work, claim authorship, and then attempt to change the copyright status of the work.
I have excluded from this bulk delete request a number of flags that Xasartha uploaded that I understand as either PD-ineligible, or that appear to be PD due to age. It may be that there are a few more that are PD due to age, but given the sheer number of how many flags need to be sourced and how few of the ones I researched are PD due to age, I think the most prudent thing to do is bulk delete.}} ~~~~
- 2 Go to the deletion requests log and place the following code at the bottom:
{{subst:delete3|pg=Files uploaded by Xasartha}}
- 3 Notify the item's uploader or the creator of the page by placing the following code on the user's talk page:
{{subst:idw|File:Flag of the Osage Nation of Oklahoma.png|Files uploaded by Xasartha}} ~~~~
- 4 Additionally, you may want to check for Wikimedia projects that use this item and then remove or, if possible, replace with a superior item.
For mass deletions: If you want to nominate several related images, please make a mass request by manually adding {{delete|reason=write reason|subpage=write name|year=2024|month=November|day=20}}
to each image page and then following the steps hereinbefore. (Help on mass requests.)
Note: This template is for requests that may require discussion in order to be deleted. For speedy deletions, you can use {{speedydelete|reason}}
