N.B. I know this is big, but I'd suggest we just run this as "Does anyone think these are good enough to put these in articles?", since they auto-delist if not in use. This is to help the cleanup on
WT:FPC.
Combined because of similar reasoning. All are unused images by
Fir0002. For ca. 2006, they're quite good, but they're A. unused in articles. B. Kind of low resolution by modern standards, and C. That GDFL/CC-NC cross that, while I don't really want to delist over as a sole reason as I understand the motivation, would never pass nowadays. With all three of these the case, we may as well delist. Fir left in 2013, and hasn't been on except to update the contact information on his user page since.
Delist - For anyone not in the know, one of the requirements of GDFL is that the reuser must copy the full text of
the license every time they use the work. That's because GDFL was designed for software, where that's no big deal, and not for images. That makes these effectively commercially non-free in any medium outside the internet. For that reason, these photos would not
even be allowed for upload to Commons as of last October. As is fairly well communicated in the
attached custom user template, this amounts to "call me and we'll talk about payment". If a worst case scenario, this type of licensing can amount to baiting for careless reusers, to set them up for copyright trolling, which is part of why Commons depreciated it.

I disagree with the bundling of this nomination - not all of these images are obvious delists. I recommend the nominator withdraw this and nominate the images for delisting individually. To wit:
Peach: just removed, not replaced with anything. Could reinsert, I guess.
Mammatus cloud: again, I'm surprised at the low quality of images in the article. In fact, this might even be the best image we have of this phenomena.
Jacky Winter: keep - I've reinserted it into the article, showing nesting means it wasn't obsolete.
I have no opinion on images 3 and 5.

Keep Ulysses butterfly and Mammatus cloud because they are now used.

Delist anything not in use at the end of the FPC period. Anything that is in use we can revisit in a more focussed nom if necessary.

I agree with adding back photos of
Ulysses butterfly and
Mammatus cloud into the articles (I agree with MER-C's comments, above, on these two photos). I am neutral on adding back the White peach photo (BTW there is no photo of a whole peach, not nectarine, in the
peach article).

I added the two photos to the articles:
[1],
[2].

@
MER-C and
Bammesk: Thanks for that. As I said, I think this is a useful exercise in evaluating a set of images with similar problems, but varying mitigating factors, but its success depends on actually saving the ones worth saving. Adam Cuerden(

I agree with Josh's comments above about delisting.
Bammesk (
talk) 15:06, 27 October 2019 (UTC) . . . Delist unused images.

Delist all remaining unused – GDFL/CC-NC cross is not ideal. White peach is now used so keep that photo.---
