you elaborate on these increasingly stringent demands?
Aside from the propensity of random people to tag 15th-century
paintings with {{nsd}}? ;-)
If the copy of the painting was made within the uk it is quite posible
it is under copyright. Or at least the copyright status would be
rather complex.
The image deletion process is, unfortunately,
institutionalizing the
assumption of bad faith.
There is a differnce between assumeing good faith and assumeing judgement
See, for example,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:PUI#April 30 (specifically the
discussion of the Himmler photo); people seem to be approaching the
issue of image sourcing with the intent to delete as many images as
possible, preferably for purely bureaucratic reasons.

People are just playing safe. Keeping an image we knew there were
doubts about would be hard to defend.
