"Please leave me deletion notifications on my talk page *there*, not here" means "do not leave messages here." Whether or not to comply with the rather unreasonable demands should be up to the reader, but that tends not to be the expectations of those who make them, in my experience.
I think it's eminently reasonable to say "if *you* want to communicate to *me*, here's how to do it."
You appear to be taking great offence at them not accepting the means most convenient to *you*.
Commons is not a separate project all of its own - it was started as a service project for the other projects. So people are not going to regard it as another place they must check for messages.
At least they're nice enough to tell you they're not reading, and that if you want to achieve communication you may have to do something else.
Not all Wikipedians are all about media files. Some occasionally write tiny texts, the so called encyclopedia articles ....
That's rather off-topic, and the sarcasm is uncalled for. I don't need to be lectured about article-writing.
The point is that you do not appear to understand the role of Commons as a service project for the other projects.
