It is common practice for GLAMs to not want to upload their highest
resolution. For example, Wikimedia Canada has a GLAM partner that donated
pictures they were holding that were in the public domain, in a resolution
"good enough" to illustrate Wikipedia articles. But the GLAM partner
retained the highest resolutions so they can still copies and generate
revenue for them, even though those are in the public domain and as soon as
they sell one you could use it on Commons in theory. Sometimes we need to
meet in the middle if we want to achieve our mission when there are
conflicting interests.
Thanks,
Jean-Philippe Béland
Vice President, Wikimedia Canada

geograph's 640 × 480 is the lowest widely used resolution.
Any that small resolution should be refused nowadays.

Common's highest resolution image of a Partula turgida shell is 469 ×
361. It was uploaded in december 2016. Are you going to try and delete
that?
There is a difference between accepting new images and deleting old images
which were uploaded years ago.

Yann
