This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated page should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much!

Source of derivative work is not properly indicated: File:Ede igbo.png
| This file may be deleted. |
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Ede igbo.png, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you! |

Warning
Hi Wmbata. I noticed that a deletion request you made was not done correctly.
This is not an unusual mistake, but I'm leaving you this message to help you get this right in the future.
There are several steps to making a deletion request (DR) correctly; among other things you must transclude the deletion into the correct daily DR list, and to notify the page creator and optionally other human (non-bot) editors of the page. By far the easiest way to do all of this correctly is to use the automatic Nominate for deletion or Nominate category for discussion tool in the Tools menu on the sidebar per COM:DR#Starting requests and COM:CFD#Starting requests, which takes care of all that using vetted Javascript. If you prefer to add the {{Delete}} template or {{Category for discussion}} template manually, you are required to follow the instructions in the template, including the "Click here to show further instructions" portion (or Commons:Deletion requests/Listing a request manually policy or the "By hand" portion of COM:CFD#Starting requests, normally collapsed). Again, though, there is no need to follow complex instructions if you use the automatic tools.
Also worth knowing: on Commons, {{Delete}} is not a "speedy delete" request like it is on many other projects; instead, it starts a discussion of whether the file should be deleted. If you think a particular media file really obviously does not belong on Commons, see the instructions at Commons:Criteria for speedy deletion. Common cases that are better handled with a speedy delete than a DR include:
- own work within 7 days (COM:CSD#G7)
- empty category never likely to be used (COM:CSD#C2).
Common bad reasons people have for making DRs in the first place include:
- after renaming a category, trying to delete the resulting redirect in violation of policy COM:CATRED
- making a DR for a file where there is already a current DR
- trying to delete one's own work within 7 days (use {{G7}} instead)
- placing {{Delete}} on the deletion subpage itself, or on a talk page.
Also, please don't use {{Ffd}} (that's an English Wikipedia thing).
If you have further questions about the deletion process, you can ask them at COM:Help desk or COM:Village pump. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 20:16, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- Hey there, thanks for pointing that out for me. Am glad to be corrected. Wmbata (talk) 20:38, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
- I didn't nominate the file for deleton, I actually saw the template broken and i thought that by add this "}}" will fix it.
