:'''Delete''' unless {{u|Anonymous Agent}} who has recently edited it has any intentions on expanding it to something useful in the short term. If you don't, AA, would you be interested in hosting it in your userspace and working on it at your own pace until it's ready to be published in the main namespace? —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 09:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

== Unused files (again) ==
In [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/20#Thousands_of_unused_files]] there were a discussion about deleting unused files. It was a result of [[Wikiversity talk:File Review]] that got stuck because of the big work it will require to check and clean up all files.
[[Wikiversity:Scope]] define what the scope is and unused files could mean that they are not in scope for Wikiversity. The file could be in scope for other wikis and if it is it should be moved to Commons.
Since the original discussion many files have been deleted. For example:
* Non-free files are deleted if unused because they violate the policy.
* [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/22#Unused_files_uploaded_by_Robert_Elliott]]
* [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/22#Unused_files_uploaded_by_Katluvdogs]]
* [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/22#Unused_files_uploaded_by_PCano]]
* [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/22#Unused_files_(user_uploaded_1_file_only)]]
* [[Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion/Archives/22#Unused_files_(user_uploaded_2-5_free_file_only)]]
The outcome of all this seems to be that files uploaded by User:Young1lim should be kept even if unused and the same with WikiJournal files.
The rest of the files can either be moved to Commons (if license, source and author etc. is good) or be deleted.
The unused files can be seen at [[Special:UnusedFiles]] and right now there are 1,447 files.
Since not many users have the time to go looking at unused files and since it will take a lot of everyones time if I create lots of deletion requests here I have a suggestion.
Either I mark the files with {{tl|Prod}} and then after 90 days files can be deleted or we discuss it here and agree that all unused files older than 90 days can be deleted by any admin that is willing to spend time on cleaning files.
Everyone can "save" a file by adding it to a page somewhere or move it to Commons if they think it is usable.
The latest deletion requests have been closed (and deleted) by [[User:Koavf]] and Koavf have not blindly deleted all files but moved some to Commons. And it is not a high priority so it will not force anyone to spend time on checking files.
So my guess is that if there is concensus to use that approach then Koavf or other users with the rights to delete files will go through the files and either delete or move to Commons whenever there is some time to spare on files. --[[User:MGA73|MGA73]] ([[User talk:MGA73|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/MGA73|contribs]]) 10:01, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
