== Promotional images ==
Hey, I notice that you've occasionally cited "promotional image" as a reason to delete a file.  This isn't, technically, a reason to delete an image.  Promotional images ''are'' allowed to '''exist''' here, but they can only be used on real world pages that ''aren't'' story pages.  Let's look at that image of Rosita that you recently deleted.  You couldn't use it on [[Rosita Farisi]], cause that's an in-universe character page.  You couldn't use it on ''[[The Next Doctor]]'', because that's specifically banned by [[tardis:manual of style#Out of universe and story articles]].  But if you look at the second paragraph of that section, you see that
:Real world articles may use practically any other relevant images that have been properly sourced and tagged with an appropriate copyright tag.
In other words, we have to ''police'' the use of promotional images; we can't just delete them ''for being promotional''.  That's why ''promotional picture'' isn't in the drop-down menu of file deletion rationales. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}
