Another easy and obvious way is to get [[User:Orgullobot]] delinking for us. User:Orgullomoore is happy to implement the bot with translations and we have a good 40 languages already done. I have thought we should wait until the single login is implemented before we do this, but it's been 6+ months "coming soon", so I think we should go ahead and if single login happens, well good for it.
I am willing to offer my services here. I am an admin (even bureaucrat) on Commons, but have not been active recently simply because there's so much more to do; however, I think I can be of much use here because I already have logins on basically all Wikipedia languages, so I can act as if single logon already exists. If you can inform me of images that should be deleted but currently are not because they are still in use, I'd be happy to go around and unlink them. Letting me do so would I think be better than having a bot for it, because I will go and check whether there is any replacement available, and replacing is much harder than delinking to do by bot (because one has to check whether the subtitle is still applicable).
You know we are talking about thousands of images... right?
Well you can start at [[Category:Against policy]] and from there it's a long slog through [[Category:Unknown]] subcategories... all of them more than 7 days old that is. Which is most of them. You can use messages from [[User:Pfctdayelise/Translations]] in edit summaries if you like.
