This media file has been nominated for deletion since 6 April 2026.
To discuss it, please visit the nomination page.

Do not remove this tag until the deletion nomination is closed.

Reason for the nomination:
If someone wants a machine voice synthesized text-to-speech recording of an Wikipedia article they can readily and easily do so simply by using the screen reading programs already built into their device or operating system


In addition the recordings created by Wikipedia's readers are virtually always guaranteed to be relevant and up-to date with current events and corrections while the majority of recordings here are either several years out of date or otherwise severely outdated compared to the current revision of the article they are trying to cover. Filling Commons with text-to-speech recordings is redundant busywork which accomplishes nothing except giving us a steady supply of low quality audio files with little to no practical use

Keep in mind 

Wikipedia:WikiProject Spoken Wikipedia explicitly prohibits synthesized text-to-speech recordings which further cements just how useless all of these files truly are
