Dear commoners
Wikimedia Commons is known to be very strict on copyright. We are even stricter than most of the Wikimedias. So far so good.
What surprises me a bit is that so many deletion requests never get processed once the debate is closed.
I find unprocessed deletion requests as old as April 2008! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/2008/04
OK this is an exception but also in May there are several unprocessed requests: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/2008/05
And when I look in June it seems that just a few of them have already been processed: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/2008/06
What's going on here?

Commons' backlog has always been pretty big, in the time I have been there. Stuff in the speedy category often lasted for months. Now though, an admin bot goes through that and so the backlog for that is non-existent. DR requires a human closure though. More admins are needed! (Or maybe lazy ones like me should pick up the pace).
