Orphaned non-free image File:Do Din Cover Art.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Do Din Cover Art.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Timing automation
Out of interest, is the timing of notifying users of stale drafts with Template:Db-draft-notice automated or is it up to AfC editors to notice when something is >6months old? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 06:00, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
- It's used by nominators to notify creators when they nominate their draft for G13, it's not automated. But probably there is/will be a bot who notifies creators when their draft isn't edited for 5 months, so it can be saved from WP:G13. -- CptViraj (📧) 06:26, 16 October 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Samba Gumba Mustang.jpg
Hi, I saw ure post for speedy deletion of this file. The file is not mine. My comment on it is that it has been erroneously connected to a Mustang Monuments ID. The file itself says it is Sambha Gompa near Muktinath. But the Mustang Monuments ID it was connected to is for Sambha Gompa, Tukuche. There is no need for deletion if the link to the Mustang Monument ID can be removed. Thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nima t100 (talk • contribs) 03:26, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
