It it process. It's CSD I5. You tag it, wait 7 days, and then delete
it. Not a very speedy form of speedy deletion, but it's on the list.

I'm not sure why we give people so long - they can upload the image
again if they find a use for it. I would suggest reducing it to 24
hours (enough to account for images being removed from articles
without consensus, any longer is unnecessary), but I'm not really
involved in the image side of things, so I'll leave it to someone
else.
