Sometimes, files on Wikimedia Commons are deleted for being out of scope or for having a license that is not permissive enough (e.g. with NonCommercial or NoDerivations). While I understand it, it sadly appears the administrators at Commons are reluctant to hand out deleted files so they can be preserved elsewhere.
(For anyone who doesn't know, Commons administrators can view deleted files and undo deletions.)
Are there any Wikimedia Commons administrators on this forum who are willing to provide deleted files for preservation elsewhere?
