Are any of the depictions based on actual likenesses? Or even on a detailed description of the man? If not, then the depictions are not educational with respect to the man, on with respect to how the man has been depicted.
By this point you should be familiar with the Charlemagne counter argument. Dito Macbeth of Scotland.
Images of those men are simply false, they do not give form to the sacred as an image of Muhammad does.
Removing them from the article would be an editorial decision, not "censorship" by any reasonable definition of the word.
Only if it could be editorially justified.
Removing information we know to be false is not censorship.
