APPEAL: Don’t let the deletion of Chechen and Russian Artists' Artworks

I am writing regarding the proposed deletion of several artworks by Chechen and Russian artists. The deletion request was submitted by user: Didym. All the uploaded artworks are screenshots from the website arthive.com, which is the original source of the images. I would be very grateful if you could help preserve these files. The images are used to illustrate the article on Chechen art (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chechen_art), as well as corresponding articles in three other languages. They serve as an important visual component of these articles and help readers better understand the subject. In addition, the same user requested the deletion of a photo of the Chechen painter Arbi Rassukhanov. I am sole creator and owner of this photo. The following is the list of files that User Didym nominated for deletion:

Currently, there is no consensus to exclude Russian SFSR from infoboxes, unlike some Russian people does omit RSFSR per consensus including Maxim Gorky, Dmitri Shostakovich, etc. Absolutiva 05:01, 14 April 2026 (UTC)
