Thousands of bad images get uploaded every week, there is simply no way to give each one 20 minutes of editor time to review.
The flaw in this reasoning is that it was not a recently uploaded image - it's been on the site for almost two years.
This one was deleted because it claimed to be fair use, but didn't link to any article. That may seem extreme, but when we are dealing with thousands of images the work really has to rely on the uploader.
Linking to the article has only recently been required. Imposing new rules and then expecting someone who uploaded an image 2 years ago to still be on the site to make that change is rather ludicrous.
