Er, I hope you write them a note explaining what
they're doing wrong?!
Simply deleting someone's images tells them nothing about what
mistakes they're making, and therefore does not help them to avoid
making them in the future.
I subst [[Template:Speedywhat]] on the user's talk page when
speedy-deleting copyvios. I think obvious copyvios and unacceptable
licenses should be deleted on sight, while all non-obvious cases need
to pass through Deletion Requests. As for checking usage, in obvious
copyvio cases, it's a nice thing to do, but IMHO not the admin's
responsibility -- someone will remove the red link soon enough.
