think i've misunderstood something and that's re some files transferring to commons have some which really wouldn't be useful anywhere but here as they are for local media outlets it seemed not to make sense to me to transfer something like that as this wp would be the only one to make use of it about the transfer have marked all of those that have more than a single version with keeplocal in the event that a commons transfer is made and it doesn't work out for whatever reason there will still be a file to go back to here without undeleting when the transfers of the files have been done with all the versions they can then be marked as being on commons and are ok for deletion here does this sound like a workable plan that doesn't made a lot of work for anyone involved
