Guilty as charged (the not-deleting part, not the promo-bio part). I
guess I just assumed nobody was creating nonsense pages, silly me. How
many are we talking about?
Proper galleries have at least one image, and not a whole lot of text in
any single language. Seems like you could have a bot detect excessive
text and mark those for further review, and have a manually-added "yes
this gallery has a good reason for large amounts of text". Seems like
you'd want this no matter the namespaces, people are always going to be
tempted to use commons to park text that has been rejected from other
projects.
