There is a perfectly reasonable goal of avoiding fair use images in
*articles*,
wherever possible. As I understand it, we also
remove most Fair Use
images
from
user pages because we normally don't have any
decent Fair Use
rationale for
using them there. However, as a parody, we do
have a rationale for
the AYB
image.
It's a good thing to keep a few fun things on Wikipedia outside of the
article
space. It's a good thing to be wary of fair
use images. It's a bad
thing to
delete humour because of misplaced "fair
use" political correctness.
