That's quite nice. Having the discussion on the image talk page is good because at the moment discussions are very separated from the images. However when we delete the image, would we then keep the talk page? That's a little odd.
An alternative would be "subst:"ing the discussion page into the deletion discussion when deleting an image. What would be the problem in keeping the discussion at all?
Do you mean *not* keeping the discussion? It's necessary to keep the discussion to refer to similar discussions, multiple requests (if an earlier one is keep, or if an image is uploaded multiple times), so that people from other wikis can come and find out why their favourite picture has been deleted, as can uploaders who only visit every 6 months.
Keeping orphan talk pages around would be weird. I don't really like that idea.
Another idea would be to discuss the deletion request right within the image and to automatically categorize them by day.
What do you mean, "within the image"?
