bad quality, blurry, better file File:Maximilian I as Emperor.JPG Oursana (talk) 20:31, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
Schlechte Qualität ist aus meiner Sicht kein Löschgrund. Werden Bilder auf Commons (hier 2005 hochgeladen) mittels Einbettungscode genutzt, verschwinden sie bei Löschung oder Dateinamensänderung im Netz. Dafür kann es - anders als bei Wiki-Einbindungen - naturgemäß keine Routine geben, also sind auch schlechte Abbildungen BEIZUBEHALTEN, weil wir hier ein ARCHIV nicht nur für Wikimedia-Projekte vorhalten!! --Historiograf (talk) 15:55, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
We should not immediately delete a particular photo just because it does not appear to be the first choice. This image has been uploaded in 2006 and has since then been used by quite a number of third party websites (see Google Images). As elaborated by Historiograf, a deletion could actually remove pictures elsewhere when they are hotlinked. And otherwise a significant link to the original upload is lost. And in case of paintings even slightly blurry pictures give an impression of the colors at a particular time. This is relevant information that is worth to be kept in a general media archive such as Wikimedia Commons. --AFBorchert (talk) 11:36, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
