Delete this obsolete file
I would like File:Rutherford scattering geometry 3.svg. It is an obsolete, unused variant of File:Rutherford scattering geometry.svg. It's not a big file but it nonetheless wastes space on the servers. Kurzon (talk) 20:19, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Kurzon: No, writing about it wastes space, but you still have time for {{G7}}. Deleted files are just made invisible to non-Admins. — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 21:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Fine. If Wikimedia becomes overloaded, that's your problem to solve. Kurzon (talk) 07:42, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Kurzon: I suspect you are missing something. All deletions here are soft-deletes. The file doesn't go away; it just becomes invisible to non-admins. So it take up just as much disk space as before, plus even a tiny bit more that comes out of the deletion process. - Jmabel ! talk 22:46, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- The file has 6 versions at 30 kB each. Call it 200 kB. At $1/GB, we are talking $0.0002-worth of storage. It is not worth the time to debate. Glrx (talk) 01:13, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

- Well I would say the file is still useful - having variants still provides flexibility. Also deleting files doesn't save storage space, it just hides the file from public view (admins can still view the file). —Matrix(!) {user - talk? -

Performance, more generally
Starting a separate section because this is only tangentially connected.
@Matrix: I completely agree with you that there is no performance issue at stake in this particular matter (retaining files) worth considering, but (slightly off topic) it is interesting to see that essay, because of course a lot of things about categorization in particular appear recently to be very driven by performance: the concern that some images or categories are in too many categories, the concern over the many category links that appear in a typical {{Wikidata Infobox}}, the very fact of us building so many intersection categories because we don't have a decently performing category intersection tool. So I question whether that essay is as applicable to Commons as it might be to en-wiki. - Jmabel ! talk 18:37, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
