Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/Administrator instructions

Administrator instructions for Possibly unfree files: Every day, the day page (that is, Possibly unfree files/Year Month Day ) more than seven days old should be removed from Possibly unfree files and a wikilink to the day page placed at Possibly unfree files. The decision to keep or delete a file is to be implemented only after the discussion for that file has been closed.


 * 1) If it may take significant time to assess the debate and/or do the closing edits, consider first editing the discussion section for the file and adding Closing just after the section header, to notify others that a close of the particular discussion is in progress. This helps to avoid edit conflicts during the close.
 * 2) Determine whether or not a rough consensus to delete has been reached. See: Deletion guidelines for administrators.
 * 3) After the file's section header, add:
 *   ~ 
 * (where Result is usually either Delete. or Keep.)
 * 1) Remove Closing if you added it earlier.
 * 2) At the end of the file's section, but before the next file's section header, add:
 * {{subst:puf bottom}}
 * 1) If the decision is DELETE, then delete the page. (This will be automatically recorded in the Deletion log.) Remember to paste a link to the discussion in the "Reason for deletion" box (ie add   Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/Page   ). If appropriate, delete the page's talk page or any associated sub-pages first. Also remember to check "what links here" and either delete any redirects or redirect them elsewhere.
 * 2) If the decision is Keep (including any variant such as "Redirect" or "No Consensus"):
 * 3) Add a link on the file's talk page to the discussion sub-page.
 * 4) *The template oldpuffull is recommended for this, so add one of:
 * (the default result is "Keep", so that parameter may be omitted)
 * 1) * If the discussion failed to reach consensus, then the file is kept by default (however, see #8 below), but the decision should generally include a reference to the lack of consensus, in order to minimize ambiguity and future confusion.
 * 2) Remove puf (and if applicable pufc) from the file (be sure the PuF Category is also removed).
 * 3) If the page becomes a redirect, remember to fix double-redirects.
 * 4) There is no such thing as quorum. If after the normal time period, there are no objections to deletion of a file, it can simply be deleted.
 * 1) If the page becomes a redirect, remember to fix double-redirects.
 * 2) There is no such thing as quorum. If after the normal time period, there are no objections to deletion of a file, it can simply be deleted.

If you disagree with a decision, please discuss it with the closing editor and, if necessary, request deletion review.
