Ferret and possibly other familiar pages.[]

These pages contain numerical data that are NOT included in the spell description (which is NOT accurate anyway). Argument can be made that these pages should be merged somehow with Find Familiar, but I'm not comfortable with putting 24 infoboxes (8 familiars x 3 variants) there as long as Fandom won't fix tabber in mobile environment. As soon as anyone can figure out an elegant way of moving all the relevant data to the spell page I'd support the deletion request, not before. -- Wiki Kaczor (talk) 13:32, May 31, 2020 (UTC)

LOUTCAPT.JPG is a PPE Mod portrait, and is authorized to use on this wiki[]

Do Not Delete this image. Whomever marked it for deletion was mistaken. Lich Diet (talk) 03:13, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

I removed it from the category and put it in Category:Portraits Portraits Everywhere instead, which itself has become a child of Category:Portraits. That way, if future contributors decide as a result of whatever debate that there is a licensing issue with PPE, they can single out its images more easily and delete them. I kinda would like the candidates for deletion category to be emptied at some point. The PPE category can serve a similar gathering purpose without cluttering the deletion cat and without making threatening promises that don't appear to be backed by consensus. Does this account for all positions?
Though you'd need to register the PPE images you upload in the future to the PPE cat by default.

@User:Haximus Thunderburp: All other wikis I've been on preemptively delete copyright violations without "a direct request from "rightholders". To the "then why not other PPE portraits?" hopefully because it's the modders own work, and not taken randomly from the internet, I nominated this file because I knew where it was from. But great they're now in a subcategory, it's still missing some kind of licensing tag though. TherasTaneel (talk) 16:48, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
Hah! they were indeed taken from the internet. Not randomly, but I don't know how American law affected the selection process. Anyway, at this time a whole lot of PPE images are adorning this wiki and we're going by the author's page. In the past, I think one admin started one-sidedly using them, then later one admin started one-sidedly removing them, and then a major contributor years later put them in again, probably unaware of previous events. The old "PPE-removing" admin came back at some point and there's a short discussion about it here.
I'm fine if you want to add Eder's pic back to the category, though perhaps add a note about our comments to the {{delete}} message?
Regarding the lack of a license for PPE images, normally licence information should go into the pages of each file but I did what I guess is the next best thing, adding a note in the PPE category. Feel free to improve on it if you know better =)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the history and links :)
Hmm, I guess something could be done, but I'd rather spend time putting other images into subcategories, so they're easier to find. And a cleanup of the Voice Actors article, I started abit in a sandbox but it takes time and not entirely sure how to best present the infomation, plus e.g. imdb wouldn't be sufficient as a source on wikipedia, but I guess it is here. Hope I get some more time soon. TherasTaneel (talk) 16:15, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, priorities! let's each do things that are interesting to us. — Haximus Thunderburp (talk), 20 January 2023

Forgotten Realms Franchise.[]

https://baldursgate.fandom.com/wiki/Forgotten_Realms_Franchise_Timeline Hi. I just saw that this page is marked for deletion as well, but not on this discussion list here, and would like to add it. (Hope, I do this right.) My thoughts are, that the page should be shorten, to only include books, comics, source material etc. which are related to the Baldur's Gate Saga. Maybe that could save this page, no?
