This category is for images used under a fair use claim which are no longer used in any article. Such images are subject to deletion after seven days per WP:CSD criterion I5.

To tag an orphaned fair use image, please use either

{{subst:orfud}} or {{subst:or-fu-re|replacement image}}

which will put the image in Category:Orphaned fairuse images as of 15 December 2006. (If the category doesn't exist yet, please create it.)

Note that some of these images were automatedly marked as orphaned because there was no reference from a main space article, and there may be good reasons why should these should not be deleted anyway. For instance, if an editor is actively working on an article in a user-space subpage, it would be unhelpful to delete the images before the article is finished. Also check for possible vandalism - it is not unknown for vandals to have blanked pages with image references.
