I don't know if anyone has any suggestions to deal with this kind of problem, or even if it has already been recognised as an issue. The non-technical answer is, of course, to copy the commons images to the local wiki, but that kind of defeats the point of commons, doesn't it?
It's commons policy not to delete images as long as the images are used anywhere, if the deletion is not urgent (copyvios and policy-vios can be deleted right away). Some people don't seem to get that into their head, though.
If it's not right there on the image page, they won't see it.
What needs to be done for it to show up right there on the image page?
