And by communication, I was refering to deletions that I happened to find out about by chance. Thank you however for your comments. You would have to link me to the Frimm Fairy Tails images for me to comment on them, I don't recall that particular case. But I'm happy to talk about why they were rejected/accepted if you can show me which ones we are talking about.

The best way to monitor for deletions (and anything else happening on the wikia) is to view Special:RecentChanges regularly. You can also see all that's been done via Special:Logs.

I appreciate that a discussion with each wikia's admins before images are deleted would be an ideal, but it's simply not possible. I use an off-wiki tool to review images and don't visit each wikia. I get a grid of images to check, which have all been flagged by first-level reviewers (all images get two checks before deletion). I assess them and then click a button to complete the set and delete those rejected. Each set processed can mean deletions on up to 20 different wikias. So you can see that stopping each set to go have 20 discussions, most of which will be unnecessary, just can't work.

I hope all that helps in understanding the problem, and why we rely on people on-wiki to contact us if there is a issue with an individual deletion.
