We should see if there's an article we can use it in with a reasonable fair use claim. If we can't delete it. We're in our right with policy backing us. We can delete images that were uploaded without correct copyright information. Inform the user and list it as usual. If anyone claims process is being ignored then...

Thomas,
Quoting Thomas Dalton thomas.dalton@gmail.com:
Shouldn't the image be deleted if it's orphaned? A fair use rationale is only for a particular use, as this image isn't being used, the rationale is nonsense.
I agree with this, of course. But en: treats unfree content as deserving of many of the same protections from deletion as free content, and deleting a "fair use" image that we're not actually using will provoke people into accusations of ignoring process, abuse of admin tools, and may even wind up at Deletion Review.
