{{delprolink}}Administrator instructions for Possibly unfree files:

Every day, the day page (that is, Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/Year Month Day) more than seven days old should be removed from Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files#New listings and a wikilink to the day page placed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files#Holding cell. The decision to keep or delete a file is to be implemented only after the discussion for that file has been closed.

1. If it may take significant time to assess the debate and/or do the closing edits, consider first editing the discussion section for the file and adding {{tl|Closing}} just after the section header, to notify others that a close of the particular discussion is in progress. This helps to avoid edit conflicts during the close.
2. Determine whether or not a rough consensus to delete has been reached. See: Deletion guidelines for administrators.
3. After the file's section header, add:
4. :{{tlsx|puf top|Result.}} ~~~~
5. ::(where Result is usually either Delete. or Keep.)
6. Remove {{tl|Closing}} if you added it earlier.
7. At the end of the file's section, but before the next file's section header, add:
8. :{{tls|puf bottom}}
9. If the decision is DELETE, then delete the page. (This will be automatically recorded in the Deletion log.) Remember to paste a link to the discussion in the "Reason for deletion" box (ie add Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/Page ). If appropriate, delete the page's talk page or any associated sub-pages first. Also remember to check "what links here" and either delete any redirects or redirect them elsewhere.
10. If the decision is Keep (including any variant such as "Redirect" or "No Consensus"):
11. Add a link on the file's talk page to the discussion sub-page.
12. *The template {{tl|oldpuffull}} is recommended for this, so add one of:
13. :{{oldpuffull|date=date of nomination|result=result}}'''
14. :{{oldpuffull|date=date of nomination}}'''
15. ::(the default result is "Keep", so that parameter may be omitted)
16. * If the discussion failed to reach consensus, then the file is kept by default (however, see #8 below), but the decision should generally include a reference to the lack of consensus, in order to minimize ambiguity and future confusion.
17. Remove {{tl|puf}} (and if applicable {{tl|pufc}}) from the file (be sure the PuF Category is also removed).
18. If the page becomes a redirect, remember to fix double-redirects.
19. There is no such thing as quorum. If after the normal time period, there are no objections to deletion of a file, it can simply be deleted.

If you disagree with a decision, please discuss it with the closing editor and, if necessary, request deletion review.
