Hi,
Leaving aside the non-trivial issue of spurious license tagging, it is great that we are increasingly getting our unfree-copyrighted content identified. We're still left with a lot of images that are not album covers, logos, screenshots, etc. but are labelled with either the deprecated Fair use template or the newer Fairusein template.
I suggest that if we are feeling ready for a new initiative in the cleanup process, that we expand the image criteria for speedy deletion again. Adding "Any image that claims to be fair use without a complete "fair use rationale" per Wikipedia:Image use policy tagged with a template that places them in the category "No rationale" for more than 7 days, regardless of when uploaded."
The album covers, logos, etc. need proper rationales too, of course, but they can be largely done from boilerplate. The effect would be to remove unfree images that nobody is willing to defend at roughly the same rate at which we remove images with no source information.
I suspect that, if put to a policy straw poll, the idea would be unpopular; images at Images and media for deletion that are nominated for having no rationale often attract a majority of keep votes.
Thoughts?
