I. For speedy deletion candidates, do not use the IfD page; instead use {{db|reason}}. See the criteria for speedy deletion. These are: duplicates (where both images are on Wikipedia), thumbnails, broken images, non-existent images, non-commercial, and "by permission" images.
II. Images that have no source, or have an unknown copyright, or are unused or replaceable fair-use, or are fair-use without rationale can be marked so that they will be deleted after a week, and should not be listed on this page. Add one of the following to the image page:
- {{subst:nsd}} if an image has no source indicated
- {{subst:nld}} if an image has a source but no licensing information
- {{subst:orfud}} if an image has a fair use tag but isn't used in any articles
- {{subst:rfu}} if an image has a fair use tag but could be replaced by a free image
- {{subst:frn}} if an image has no fair use rationale and was uploaded after May 4 2006
III. Redundant or duplicate images do not have to be listed here. Please use
- {{isd|Full name of image excluding the "Image:" prefix}} for speedy deletion if the other image is on Wikipedia, not on Commons
- {{subst:ncd|image name on Commons}} if the image now exists on Commons, or {{subst:ncd}} for images with the same name on Commons
IV. For copyright infringements, use Wikipedia:Copyright problems.
V. For other licensing issues, use Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images.
