  About → Policies and guidelines → Deletion policy → Images for deletion

Please make sure you have read and understood Memory Alpha's deletion policy before editing this page. But in case you don't remember, here's a digest version:

Images listed here will be removed after 7 days, unless voted otherwise. Make sure you add the deletion boilerplate message to images listed for deletion here. The one to use is {{deleteimage}}.

Add new entries at the bottom of the list, including a link to the image in question, and as always, sign entries with name and timestamp – use four tildes (~~~~). Please remember to boldface (by surrounding bold text with '''three apostrophes''') so that your vote (keep, delete, neutral, replace or move) can be counted.

Please also note that Memory Alpha is not a file depository. Images and files that are uploaded here that are not directly related to an article, or are solely created for personal use, are subject to immediate deletion.

For the most part, Ottens uploaded numerous images about 3 or 4 years ago that were never properly cited. A number of these appear to be taken from Probert's website, where there is no indication that there was "explicit permission of the owner" to use these. --Alan del Beccio 19:35, 14 February 2008 (EST)

It might be worth contacting Andrew Probert and inquiring whether we can use a limited number of his images, perhaps with the understanding that we link back to his site on the image pages or something as such. Thoughts? -- Sulfur 00:48, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I think Contacting him is the best course of action, though aren't images three and four already permissable for our use here. I remember seeing them somewhere with the "used with permission" notice. --Nmajmani 02:43, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Likely on the image page. We have no confirmation that they were actually "used with permission". -- Sulfur 02:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

The was a huge fuzz about that - all of these images were uploaded, and when some of them were put up for deletion as copyvios (by me, I think), Ottens made the claim that he had contacted Probert and got permission to use the images. I'm not sure if something like a mail "log" was ever provided, and I'm not sure if Probert knew what exactly he was agreeing to (if anything), but I do know that I asked Ottens to at least add proper disclaimers to the various uploads - which in some cases never happened. If such mail log can be found here, it should be copied to all of the individual image discussion pages - otherwise, we should ask again, but this time in a more "formal" way. :) -- Cid Highwind 23:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

FWIW, a reply by Probert had been posted here: [1]. This link is currently only accessible to admins, as it is a deleted edit of the page in question. I'm not sure why that has been deleted, so eventually this and all other deleted edits of that page could be restored. -- Cid Highwind 00:02, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

The deletions in question were as a result of an incomplete merge. I corrected and replaced the link, so now everyone can access it. --Alan 01:58, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Three months later, can we conclude this somehow? --Alan 12:37, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
