I understand and I didn't ask for transfer on daily basis (in fact, I even pointed that it can be done any time by a sysop), that why I support the « keep on hold » on the deletion request. I'd like to help but I'm quite busy with WLM FR and other wiki-stuff ; plus, I don't know at all russian law or ruwp, so I'm afraid I won't be of much help).

I still think that having Commons users on the WLM is useful (and maybe even mandatory for a succesful WLM), but it seems indeed that your context is quite peculiar. Cdlt, ~nicolas
