I know one user who uploaded his images to Commons last year with CC-BY and to Flickr with CC-BY-NC-ND. Last month he was blocked infinitely on Russian Wikipedia and after it he changed sources on Commons' images from "Own work" to Flickr and he wants to delete these images.

Hi all of you.

In the last months I recogniced more and more uploaders wanted their Images to be deleted. In normal cases I delete on uploaders request, but not if someone wants to have all his images / most of them deleted. This is problematic, because all the Licenses we have are _unrevokable!_

Yesterday there was a user who clearly wants all of his Images yust to have all his Images gone and after we opposed his CSD-request he yust said "My father/sister/whatever took the Image, so its unfree" and we had to delete them all.

I belive we should get a clear consenus about this. (For example blocking in cases as above!?) Do you have any Ideas?

Regards,

ABF
