== Instructions for discussion participation ==
In responding to the deletion nomination, consider adding your post in the format<br/> <code><nowiki>* '''View''' - Reasoning ... -- ~~~~</nowiki></code><br/> where "Delete", "Keep", "Comment", or something else may replace "View". In posting their reasoning, many editors use abbreviations and cite to the following:
* [[Wikipedia:NFCC#1]]&nbsp;– Free equivalent is/is not available
* [[Wikipedia:NFCC#8]]&nbsp;– Significance
* [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2]]&nbsp;– Unacceptable image use

Remember that [[Wikipedia:polling is not a substitute for discussion|polling is not a substitute for discussion]]. Wikipedia's primary method of determining [[wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] is through [[WP:EP|editing]] and discussion, ''not'' [[m:don't vote on everything|voting]]. Although editors occasionally use [[Wikipedia:Straw polls|straw polls]] in an attempt to test for consensus, polls or surveys sometimes impede rather than assist discussion. They should be used with caution, and are no more [[Wikipedia:Consensus#Consensus can change|binding]] than any other consensus decision.

Also remember that if you believe that an image is potentially useful for other projects and should be moved to [[Wikimedia Commons]], in lieu of responding <code><nowiki>'''Move to Commons'''</nowiki></code>, you can move it there yourself.  See [[Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons]] for instructions.

== Instructions for closing discussions ==

{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-4 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-3 days}}}}
{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j|-2 days}}}}

{{Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{#time:Y F j}}}}

== Footer ==
<span class="plainlinks">Today is '''{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}'''. Put new nominations in [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}]] – {{#ifexist:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|([{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|action=edit}} new nomination])|This page doesn't exist yet, please [{{fullurl:Wikipedia:Files for discussion/{{CURRENTYEAR}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}|preload=Template:Ffd+log&action=edit&autosummary=Create%20FFD%20log%20page&autominor=true&autoclick=wpSave}} create it].}}</span>

If the current date's page has been started without the header, apply {{tls|Ffd log}} to the top of the day's page.

Please ensure "==={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}===" is at the very top of the new page so that internal page links from the main Files for discussion page (the one you're on now) work.

The page [[Wikipedia:Files for discussion/Today]] will always show today's log.
