Hi,
...
Many years ago, the editors of the Spanish Wikipedia
decided to close the
possibility to directly host images, choosing instead to use Wikimedia
Commons. If we miss the opportunity to find a workaround that saves
hundreds of thousands of images from an unrequested deletion that hurts our
very mission, Wikipedia editors could ultimately evaluate reversing that
decision, reopening "project-hosted" uploads just to avoid the restrictive
and exclusionary URAA interpretation that Wikimedia Commons has been
sustaining against the Foundation's political and legal advice. That would
be far from being an optimal outcome.
The french version of Wikipedia <http://fr.wikipedia.org> is already doing
that by keeping pictures of recent buildings that got erased from Commons. So
I think you should do exactly the same and keep all those documents in your
local Wikipedia until they become Free enough for Commons.
If you can read french, the decision is here :

Best regards.
