User:Josve05a/AI media
On Commons we have noted a rapid influx of AI‑generated media. Many Commons users believe these images are low‑quality and lack real educational value, and they often nominate them for deletion.
In numerous deletion discussions I have seen AI‑generated files nominated for removal even though they are already in use on sister projects such as Wikipedia:, Wikidata:, or Wikibooks:. According to COM:INUSE these images are considered in scope when they are embedded in mainspace articles.
Some argue that images should be removed from the local project by us Commons users, or that the uploader added them without community consensus. While these points address usage, they do not override the fact that the images are currently in use. Proper procedure requires addressing usage via each project’s own consensus or discussion process. "It does not matter if a file is of poor quality or otherwise appears to lack educational value. It should be stressed that Commons does not overrule other projects about what is in scope."
Each Wikimedia project has its own rules for content management, revision, and consensus building. It is not Commons’ role to preemptively remove media that local communities have deemed acceptable (or at least not actively deemed to be unacceptable). Deleting an image on Commons because of subjective opinions would circumvent established processes on sister projects and risk a bad‑faith crusade. But, as always, it is not an issue to delete an image due to copyright or other such legal issues which may exist, regardless of the file's usage.
