As a reminder, if files are to be deleted from Wikimedia Commons, this only happens by discussion and administrative action on Wikimedia Commons.
Roundtable discussion may be interesting, but this is not how decisions are made in our community. If you have notes or minutes of this closed meeting, please publish them so the Wikimedia community can benefit.
